Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: P (dominant) and p (recessive). Only homozygous individu

als that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. If the p allele is found in 15 percent of the population, what's the frequency of the PP genotype?

If we know that we have Pp PP and pp individuals.

Only homozygous individuals that have two coies of the recessive allele have the conditions - 15%
If we know that the p allele itself is found in 15% of the population. 

We know that the P allele is found in 75% of the population (100 - 15)

To now know what is the frequency of the PP genotype, we can calculate this using simple mathematics:

If P is now 75%, to get 2x P we have to calculate 75%*75% =56.25%

So an individual who is of the genotype PP can be most likely found with the frequency of around 60% in this population.

Why are invasive species a threat to biodiversity
lianna [129]

Invasive species cause more damage than some pollutants. Almost half of the native species in America are endangered because of invasive species. Compared to other threats to biodiversity, invasive introduced species rank second only to habitat destruction, such as forest clearing.

In German cockroaches, the curved wing allele (cv) is recessive to the normal allele wing (cv ). Bill, who is raising cockroache
svp [43]

Answer:

Given

The migrants proportion in the new population(m) = 0.1

Allele frequency for curved wings in the old population(q-old) = 0.6

Allele frequency for migrant population(q-migrants) = 0.2

The formulae/method to use is

(q-new) = mx(q-migrants) + (1 – m)(q-old)

= 0.1(0.2) + 0.9(0.6)

= 0.56

assuming random mating the new genotype frequency can be determined by using

fnew(cv,cv) = (q-new)^2

Where our calculated (q-new) is 0.56

= (0.56)^2

= 0.31
