In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-

Weinberg equilibrium, approximately how many individuals in the sample are expected to be heterozygous for TAS2R38?

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.

Answer:

This picture is modeling how animals get nutrients and how it looks. If you look in the photo, you can see many animals and arrows pointing at one another, This shows animals fighting each other. An example would be the girafee, If you look closley the photo is showing the girafee getting nutrients from the tree. This shows the girafee getting the organisms it needs in order to survive.

suppose that a species of toads is introduced into a new environment in an attempt to reduce the population of insects.
qaws [65]

Answer: If they are introduced to a new environment unlike their previous ones, which is wet, damp, moist, and humid areas, the population of toads in the area will most likely die, and the insects will become overpopulated (or rapidly grow)

Explanation: Because the food chain needs to stay stable!

(C) its genetic diversity is very low.

<h3>What is meaning of Extinction?</h3>

Extinction is the final phase of a sort of creature or a taxon—typically a species. Although the ability to reproduce and bounce back may have been lost earlier, the death of the last member of the species is typically considered to be the moment of extinction.

Determining this point is challenging because a species' potential range may be quite wide, and is typically done after the fact. Due to this problem, there are phenomena like Lazarus taxa, in which a species that was thought to be extinct suddenly "reappears" after a period of apparent absence (usually in the fossil record). Estimates place the number of extinct species at over five billion, or more than 99% of all species that have ever existed on Earth.

One oak tree cell with 14 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many cells will result from this process,???
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Four (4) cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division in which four daughter cells that are genetically different is produced. The daughter cells are gametes that have undergone a reduction in their chromosome number (by half).

For example, one cell of an oak tree with 14 chromosomes is said to undergo meiosis. This means that, based on the explanation of meiosis above, the oak cell will give rise to four (4) daughter cells containing 7 chromosomes each.
