Color in McIver beetles is determined by two alleles at one gene locus. McIver beetles must have a heterzygous genotype (genotyp

e A1A2) in order to have a brown color phenotype. Calculate the frequency of the brown beetles in the population if the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.8.

Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.

Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

In Hardy-Weinberg principle,

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1

2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:

genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.

Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

66 * 10^8 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Given -

a) Number of colonies of bacteria is equal to 66

b) Total volume of the solution is equal to 0.1 mL

c) Dilution factor is equal to 10^{-7}

As we know that

CFU/mL = \frac{N * DF}{V}

Where N is the number of bacterial colonies, DF is the dilution factor and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

CFU/mL = \frac{66* 10^7}{0.1} \\= 66*10^8
