For a gene that determines wing color in butterflies, there are three possible genotypes: BB (blue wings), bb (white wings), and

Bb (white wings with blue blotches). A sample of 100 butterflies was collected, and the following was observed:
Wing Color Number of Butterflies
blue 60
white with blue blotches 30
white 10


What is the frequency of the Bb genotype in this population if it is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

Answer: The frequency of the b allele is calculated as follows: since there are 2 alleles in each organism, total number of genes is 200. The number of white alleles is 10*2+30 (since there are 2 copies of the alleles in white organisms and 1 copy of the b allele in the white wings with blue blotches). So the total number of white alleles is 20+30=50 white alleles. The frequency of the white allele is then 0.25. So the frequency of the blue allele is 1-0.25=0.75. Since heterozygous term is 2*p*q, the frequency of the Bb genotype is 2*0.25*0.75=0.375. Hope that helped!

lorasvet [3.4K]

The epiphyseal plate is the area of elongation in a long bone. It includes a layer of hyaline cartilage where ossification can continue to occur in immature bones. We can divide the epiphyseal plate into a diaphyseal side (closer to the diaphysis) and an epiphyseal side (closer to the epiphysis).

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Experiments

Explanation:

The ancient Greek philosophers spent more time philosophising and thinking about scientific explanations to phenomena in the natural world.

How ever, they relied solely on reasoning while attempting to explain scientific observations. Contemporarily, science is highly empirical. The scientific process can only be complete when scientific observations are subjects to rigorous experiments in order go determine the actual relationship between variables and provide better explanation for scientific observations.

Hence the ancient Greek philosophers should have used experiments rather than sole reason in proffering scientific explanations to natural phenomena.

postnew [5]

The rose population would decrease because the bees would need more food. Since the skunk has more food, it would increase and the eagle population would probably increase too because of more access to skunks. The eagle interpretation may be true unless the eagle is perceived as a scavenger. Then the population would most likely stay the same. The sun would stay the same because it is an abiotic factor in an ecosystem. your welcome fam
