<span>Each parent cell has the full 46 chromosomes, but during the process of meiosis, the cells are split to produce daughter cells with just the base 23. If the cells did not split and reduce the number of chromosomes, the new individual would either not survive due to having 92 chromosomes or be severely disabled. The gametes produced by a female are larger than those produced by males. This is referred to as heterogamy.</span>
Answer:
The percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
Explanation:
They are two alleles, the phenylthiocarbamide tasters (PTC) and the non phenylthiocarbamide tasters (non PTC). PTC testers are dominant and non PTC tasters are recessive.
let the frequency of the dominant allele(A) be p
and the frequency of the recessive allele(a) be q
We are told that 64 percent of people living in a remote, isolated mountain village can taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and must, therefore, have at least one copy of the dominant PTC taster allele (that is AA and Aa)
Frequency of AA = p², Frequency of Aa = 2pq and Frequency of aa = q²
Therefore p² + 2pq = 64% = 0.64
According to Hardy–Weinberg:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and
p + q = 1
Since p² + 2pq = 0.64
∴ 0.64 + q² = 1
q² = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36
q = √0.36 = 0.6
Since p + q = 1
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4
The frequency of heterozygous = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48
Therefore the percentage of the population that is heterozygous for this trait is 48%
Answer:
Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction. Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms.
Hi!
This branch of science is known as <em>physical science. </em>It studies the physical world, which includes things such as matter and energy.
It observes how those factors influence motion and interactions via force.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
RNA has a ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar like DNA. RNA neucleiotides have a uracil base instead of thymine.
