Answer:

4% of the white population in the US are carriers of cystic fibrosis.

Explanation:

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, if q2 equals 1/2,500, then q equals .02, p equals .98, and 2pq equals approximately .04, or 4%.

Remember that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation is <u>used when the population maintains its genetic variation constant</u>.

A heterozygous tall pea plant is allowed to self-fertilize. The resulting F1 progeny are 25% homozygous tall, 50% heterozygous t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)

A geneticist examines the karyotype of a diploid cell from a particular species of frog and determines that 12 chromosomes are p
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

6 chromosomes each

Explanation:

Meiosis is the cell division that results in daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). Meiosis is used only by sexually-reproducing organisms to produce gametes. Since meiosis reduces the chromosomal number, it occurs in a two-step division process viz: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

Meiosis I involves separation of homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent). In the Anaphase stage of meiosis 1, each homologous pair of chromosomes that makes the organism diploid (2n) is separated. Hence, the resulting cells of meiosis I will have a reduced chromosome number (haploid,n).

In this case of a diploid frog with 12 number of chromosomes. If a germline cell or reproductive cell divide by meiosis, in meiosis I, each pair of the 6 pairs of homologous chromosomes of the frog will separate into opposite cells. Hence, at the end of meiosis I, each daughter cell will have 6 chromosomes in a haploid state.

In meiosis II, sister chromatids (replicated chromosomes) separate instead. Each separated chromatid becomes a full chromosome in each gamete.
