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.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of pioneer species ?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

They remain in an environment,even as more competitive species arrive

Explanation:

Pioneer species, in ecological succession, are the first set of organisms to colonize a bare area of land or a disturbed area of land. Pioneer species include lichens, grasses, fungi etc.

Pioneer species have unique characteristics that distinguishes them from every other species of organism. These include:

- They facilitate environmental change, making an environment more habitable for other species.

- They tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions.

- They are capable of colonizing a barren environment, as in primary succession.

However, pioneer species do not remain in an environment, even as more competitive species arrive. They rather give way for new species to emerge and dominate.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The statement that best explains the result would be that <u>the rate of photosynthesis is greatest for direct sunlight and least for the infrared light.</u>

The DPIP will normally replace and play the role of NADPH in the light reaction of the process of photosynthesis. Hence, it will become colorless as a result of reduction and the rate of photosynthesis can be monitored based on the magnitude of the disappearance of the dark blue color.

It means that the more colorless the liquid in the illustration is, the more the rate of photosynthesis. <em>The color change moved from dark blue to clear colorless under direct sunlight, from dark blue to nearly colorless under indirect sunlight, and from dark blue to slightly lighter under the infrared light.</em> <u>This clearly indicates that the rate of photosynthesis is highest under direct sunlight and lowest under infrared light with the indirect sunlight having an intermediate rate. </u>

The correct option is B.
