A population of aliens with similar genetics as humans is affected by a homozygous recessive condition known as "xbziq." This co

ndition causes aliens to die at young ages because their digestive tracts are not able to effectively process food and obtain the necessary nutrients and energy from their diets. Approximately 2% of the newborn aliens have the xbziq condition. What is the carrier (heterozygote) frequency in the population?

Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The given genetic trait is homozygous recessive and the frequency of homozygous recessive genotypes in the population is 2%.

Therefore, frequency of homozygous recessive genotypes (q2) = 2% = 0.02

Frequency of homozygous recessive allele (q) = square root of 0.02 = 0.141

Since p+q =1 (here, p = frequency of dominant allele).

So, p= 1-q = 1-0.141 = 0.859

The frequency of heterozygous carrier genotypes in the population = 2pq = 2 x 0.141 x 0.859 = 0.24 or 24%

The median is 12.6.



Explanation:

To find the median you list them from greatest to least then whatever number is in the middle is your median.


11.8, 11.9, 11.9, 12.2, 12.3, 12.9, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 13.7

So the middle two numbers are 12.9 and 12.3 so you would find the average by adding them together and dividing by 2.

12.3+12.9=25.2
25.2/2=12.6
