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

Which is an advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

in sexual reproduction we get genes from both our parents and we have a combination of them...that leads to genetic diversity...more diversity means more chances to survive different environment conditions.... in asexual reproduction.. offsprings are identical.if environment conditions are rough...all of them won't stand a chance...and also....in sexual reproduction genetic variation can lead to evolutionary advancements

Answer:

An extremophile

Explanation:

An extremophile is an organism that thrives in extreme environments. Extremophiles are organisms that live in "extreme environments," under high pressure and temperature. ... Since they live in “extreme environments” (under high pressure and temperature), they can tell us under which range of conditions life is possible.
