The trait for 'male-pattern baldness' is a recessive trait encoded for by "b". Non-balding is encoded for by a dominant allele e

ncoded for by the letter "B". A street survey conducted by Hair Club for Men found that out of 1000 men, 360 had male pattern baldness, the other 480 who did not and were heterozygous, and 160 who did not and were homozygous for a full head of hair. What are the phenotype ratios? Using this information find the allele frequencies for B and b. What are the expected genotype frequencies?

Answer:

<h2>Allele frequencies for B and b. </h2><h2>"b"(q) allele frequency = 0.60 </h2><h2> </h2><h2>"B"(p) allele frequency = 0.40 </h2><h2></h2><h2>Genotype frequencies; </h2><h2>BB = 0.16 </h2><h2>Bb = 0.48 </h2><h2>Bb = 0.36 </h2>

Explanation:

Given

Non-baldness (B) is dominant on baldness(b), so B is dominant over b.

Homozygous  pattern baldness male (bb) = 360,

Heterozygous  non- baldness (Bb)=  480,

Homozygous non-baldness (BB)= 160.

So, we can also denote then by genotypes  only,

BB= 160;

Bb= 480;

bb= 360;

Total= 1000

Allele frequency q² (bb) = 360/1000=0.36

allele fequency for q( b)= √o.36=0.60.

Allele frequency for p²(BB) = 160/1000=0.16

allele frequency p(B)= √0.16 = 0.4

 

Expected genotype frequencies;

BB = 160/1000  = 0.16

 

Bb = 480/1000= 0.48

 

Bb = 360/1000= 0.36

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Some questions that can be asked:

1) How does the vaccine work and prevent diseases?

2) Can some people become allergic or have a negative response to vaccines, and How does this work?

3) What causes some vaccines to not work 100% effectively?

4) How do people create vaccines?

I'm not sure if this is what you were asking for, hopefully, this helps.

Black_prince [1.1K]

The PCR amplification process most frequently employs an enzyme known as Taq DNA polymerase.

Taq Polymerase, or Taq DNA  polymerase, is a biological catalyst that helps nucleotides join together to form DNA. Taq polymerase is a protein that is 832-amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 94 kilodaltons. It is a homolog of the Pol I DNA polymerase that is found in <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E.coli</em>) (approx). This enzyme can withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes before reaching its half-life. At the ideal temperature of 72 degrees Celsius, the rate of nucleotide incorporation ranges from two to four kilobases per minute.  

Polymerase chain reaction operates at a very high temperature. At this temperature, Taq polymerase is able to carry out its function efficiently.

kramer

Answer:

The correct option is: A) sympatric speciation

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation is a type of geographic mode of speciation. It refers to the evolution of two or more than two new or descendant species from the  existing common descent. The new species and the ancestral species all live in the same geographic area or location.

The common example of this speciation is insects like moths that become dependent on different plants belonging to the same geographical area.
