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

- What is the absolute refractory period?
dmitriy555 [2]
The period from the initiation of the action potential to immediately after the peak is referred to as the absolute refractory period (ARP) (see Figs. 1 and 2). This is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron (no matter how strong) will not lead to a second action potential.

How do the whiskers and incisors interact to help the rat survive?
amid [387]
The Rat’s whiskers are highly sensitive to touch, they brush over the ground, obstacles, food, and other rats. When they bend, it’s follicles send messages to the rat’s brain.
The Rat’s incisors are the four long, sharp front teeth, they use them for gnawing and for grinding food prior to swallowing it.
