In chickens, the allele for feathered legs (F) is dominant over the allele for bare legs (f). In a population of chickens on a f

arm, 240 chickens have feathered legs (FF or Ff), and 80 chickens have bare legs (ff). How many chickens can be expected to be heterozygous for feathered legs (Ff)? Assume that the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium apply to the population.

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium p2+2pq+q2=1 (p+q=1)

p2 is frequency of the dominant homozygous genotype

2pq is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

q2 is the frequency of the recessive homozygous genotype

In the example above 80 chickens have bare legs (ff)-recessive homozygous which means that the frequency of that genotype is 80/240+80=0.25 (q2), frequency of the recessive allele is\sqrt{0.25}=0.5. This means that the frequency of the dominant allele (p) is 1-0.5=0.5

So, the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (2pq) is 2*0.5*0.5=0.5

The frequency of the dominant homozygous genotype is p2=0.25

Chloroplasts;
These contain grana, the site of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis, and stroma, a fluid substance that is the equivalent of cytoplasm in cells, which is the site of the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis. Grana are structures made of stacked thylakoid membranes, necessary for chemiosmosis, connected to one another by lamellae.

Which question will best help a student determine whether an organism is a member of Kingdom Archaebacteria or a member of Kingd
exis [7]

Answer:

Do the organism's colls have nuclei?

Explanation:

Protists represent eukaryotic organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and organelles delimited by membranes, whereas Archaea and Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that lack a cell nucleus, in which the genetic material (chromosome) is localized in a part of the cytoplasm named nucleoid. Eukaryotic organisms include protists, animals, plants, fungi, and most algae. Most protists are unicellular, although there are species that are multicellular.

Assume that some protein molecule, in its folded native state, has one favored conformation. But when it is denatured, it become
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

ΔS will be positive.

Explanation:

Denaturation may be defined as the loss of the biological activity of protein by changing the physical conditions of protein. Protein can be denatured by increasing temperature, pH and salts.

Entropy may be defined as the randomness of molecule. The entropy increase with increase in the randomness of the substance. Since, protein has been denatured, the random coil confirmation increase. This means the randomness of protein has been increased, this increase the entropy and makes it more positive.

Thus, entropy becomes more positive.

What information should I put for the other two reasons?
lilavasa [31]
1. When the Earth is closer to the sun it receives more heat than when it is further from the sun. But this orbital shape changes over time, affecting the Earth's overall climate situation. This variation is known as eccentricity and it changes over a period of about 100,000 years


2. The movement of the Earth around the Sun combined with the tilt of the Earth's axis causes weather, seasons and climate. The Sun causes weather patterns and the long-term average of weather patterns creates climatic zones around the world. The combined average regional climates create the Earth's climate.
