Answer:

a) The equation describes the  relationship between p and q is p + q = 1 for allelic frequencies

b) The frequencies of alleles A1 in decimals is 0.7 and in percents is 70%.

The frequencies of alleles A2 in decimals is 0.3 and in percents is 30%.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

Being

  • p the dominant allelic frequency,
  • q the recessive allelic frequency,
  • p²the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency
  • q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency
  • 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequency

In the exposed example,

  • A1 codes for purple leaves, has a frequency of 0.7 and is dominant.
  • A2 codes for white leaves, has a frequency of 0.3 and is recessive.

According to this equation: p + q = 1.

                                             0.7 + 0.3 = 1

A1A1= p²= 0.7² = 0.49

A2A2= q² = 0.3² = 0.09

A1A2 = 2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42

According to this equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1

                                             0.49 + 0.42 + 0.09 = 1

  • The frequencies of alleles A1 in decimals is 0.7 and in percents is 70%.
  • The frequencies of alleles A2 in decimals is 0.3 and in percents is 30%.

Why is the blood that drains into the hepatic portal circulation nutrient-rich
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver. This blood are usually rich in nutrient because it contains extraction from digested materials or food substances in the gastrointestinal tract and it is processed in the liver for removal of toxins before the blood returns to the heart.
