Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

<span>The answer is A. p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>

<span>
</span><span>
Let's first distinguish alleles frequencies from genotypes frequencies:
p - a frequency of R allele,
q - a frequency of r allele,
p² - a frequency of RR genotype,
2pq - a frequency of Rr genotype,
q² - a frequency of rr genotype.</span>

<span>

<span>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
q = 0.40</span>

Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1

If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
</span>⇒ p = 1 - 0.40<span>
</span>⇒ p = 0.60

<span>

<span>Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the genotype frequencies:
- the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36</span>
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16</span>

<span>

<span>Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span></span>

3) they lose energy at a varying rate - is the correct answer.

Radioactive decay is defined as the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses its energy by emitting radiations. The decay is random and cannot be predicted earlier.
