Answer:

The frequency of the s allele is 0.6, the frequency of the S allele is 0.4

SS frequency = 0.16 (16%)

Ss frequency = 0.48 (48%)

ss frequency = 0.36 (36%)

Explanation:

When there are two alleles of a gene in a population, the frequency of each allele = 1. That means that the sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%

p + q = 1

For our alleles, that means S + s = 1

For the 3 possible genotypes from 3 alleles,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

For our genotypes, that means S² + 2 x S x s + s² = 1

Since we know that 36 people have the genotype ss, we can add that into our equation:

S² + 2 x S x s + 36 = 1

Therefore, to work out the value of s, we take the square root of 36 (\sqrt{36\\}) = 6.

Therefore s = 6, which we convert to 0.6 (because we are talking about frequencies not percentages)

Back to our initial equation

p + q = 1, so S + s = 1

We know s = 0.6, so

S + 0.6 = 1,

so S = 0.4

For the genotype frequencies

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

0.4² + 2 x 0.4 x 0.6 + 0.6² =1

0.16 + 0.48 + 0.36 = 1

p² is the SS frequency = 0.16

2pq is Ss frequency = 0.48

q² is ss frequency = 0.36

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion
Sedbober [7]
One big difference between osmosis and diffusion is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move indiffusion, but when we talk aboutosmosis, only the solvent molecules (water molecules) cross the membrane. ... When people discussosmosis in biology, it always refers to the movement of waters

The questions are in the pic, they are about gravity :)
AveGali [126]

2. Because the gravitational force from anything that small compared to a planet is so minuscule it's nearly impossible to feel or measure.

3. Because do not have life and other processes necessary to create the gasses and substances necessary to create an atmosphere.

4. If the amount of mass lost was large enough it would likely allow the moon to eventually orbit away

What is the percent of the genes on the chromosome?
kati45 [8]
Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

Hope this helps

iren [92.7K]
For the pheasant question, it would be the top right graph as this shows an increase, then a further increase in the population of pheasants.

For the population of the world graph, it shows positive exponential growth as it is a large amount of growth within a small time period
