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

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

talk to your teacher

Explanation:

talk to your teacher about your missing assignment. they will look for it for you, but if they can't find it, you might have to redo the assignment. they might also give you an exemption on the assignment, but that's unlikely.

if you're worried about talking to them face-to-face, you could email them.

1. What is a moments of a force?
mafiozo [28]
1) Force is a quantity that is measured using the standard metric unit known as the Newton. A Newton is abbreviated by an "N." To say "10.0 N" means 10.0 Newton of force. One Newton is the amount of force required to give a 1-kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s/s. 2) The Principle of Moment states that when a system is in equilibrium the sum of its CLOCKWISE MOMENTS equals the sum of its ANTICLOCKWISE MOMENTS. Some examples where moments (turning effect) are applied involve levers, like seesaws, opening and closing doors, nutcrackers, can openers, and crowbars. 3) the size of the force applied.
the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force. 4) The principle of moments states that when in equilibrium the total sum of the anti clockwise moment is equal to the total sum of the clockwise moment. When a system is stable or balance it is said to be in equilibrium as all the forces acting on the system cancel each other out. 5) Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Force is measured in Newtons. You can use the force equation to also find the mass or acceleration of an object. To calculate the net force acting on an object, it helps to draw a free body diagram.

Consider what would happen to a diploid plant when genes are destroyed by a mutation.
aniked [119]

Answer:

Two, usually

Explanation:

A diploid plant has two copies (alleles) of every gene. If one copy of the gene is destroyed by a mutation, the plant will likely be okay with its other copy, and the trait will still be expressed.

However, some traits require both copies of the gene to be expressed. For example, if one gene is destroyed that means only half the amount of the gene product is produced. If that is not enough protein for the trait to be expressed, then the trait will be lost.
