In chickens, having feathers on legs is dominant to having featherless legs. In a population of 200 chickens, 128 have featherle

ss legs. How many chickens are heterozygous for the "feathered leg" allele? Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Answer:

64

Explanation:

Since the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the equilibrium is defined by the equation

p² + 2pq + q²

where the frequency of the homozygous dominant allele F ( feathers on the leg ) = p²,

F of homozygous ( featherless legs) = q²

F of heterogyous ( carrier of featherless allele) = 2pq

F (q²) = 128/200 = 0.64

q = √0.64 = 0.8

and p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

2pq = 2 × 0.2 × 0.8 = 0.32

number of chickens that are heterozgous for the feathered leg allele = 0.32 × 200 = 64

Suppose that a large river separates two populations of mice. one population is all black, and the other all white. a beaver dam
Wewaii [24]

This is an example of CONDOMINANCY.

Condominancy is said to occur when two different alleles are combined together to form a different allele, in which the alleles are expressed equally and none of them is dominant. In the example given above, the black rat population mated with the white rat population to produce offspring that are grey in colour. Thus, the white and the black colour of the parents are not dominant, but are equally expressed to give gray colour.

Which type of mutation results in the formation of a protein is one incorrect amino acid
aleksandrvk [35]

The type of mutation that results in the formation of a protein with one incorrect amino acid is called missense mutations. It is a mutation where a single nucleotide changes the results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.
