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!

A manufacturing company has entered into a new contract with a major supplier of raw materials used in the manufacturing process
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

It allows the plant to function more efficiently, as it increases the inventory turnover ratio.

Explanation:

Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is a kind of business model in which the buyer of a certain products gives information to a vendor of that same product and the vendor acquires total responsibility for holding on to the agreed inventory of that same material, majorly at the buyer's consumption location as we can see from this question.

Vendor managed inventory contract permits manufacturer to have a close instant entry to inventory. This immediate connection permits the customer to pull inventory as when due and only make payment for what is consumed. This will in turn reduce inventory investment and cause a higher inventory turns.

The VMI is known to provide vendors more control in order to rightly forecast demand, Boost Customer-Vendor Relationships, decrease Inventory Costs, Reduced Inventory Overstocks and Stock Shortage with an improvement in Sales.
