In a population of white and brown rats, 16% of the population is white. if white hair is recessive to brown, what frequency of

individuals have a homozygous dominant genotype?

0.36

Explanation:

For the recessive trait to show in the phenotype, the individual has to be homozygous recessive for the gene. Therefore if we designate the allele for White color as <em>r</em> and that of Brown as <em>R</em>;

<em>rr </em>= 16% = 0.16   → This is the gene frequency for recessive population

To find the allele frequency

√0.16

= 0.4

Remember the hardy Weinberg principle of allele; All allelic frequency of a gene adds up to 1 in an ideal population (that observes certain assumptions).

p + q = 1

p + 0.4 = 1

p = 1 – 0.4

p = 0.6

The allelic frequency of Brown hair is 0.6.

The frequency of individuals of a homozygous dominant genotype will be;

P² + 2pq + q² = 1

0.6 * 0.6 = 0.36

How might an athlete use vital lung capacity compared to a non athlete
kramer
An athlete would have a larger vital capacity than a non-athlete aerobic ability would find people with larger lungs and hence a bigger vital capacity. The vital capacity of an athlete is higher than a non-athlete because they are trying to do hard work their legs to get bigger and bigger over time making it easier for them

Kay [80]

Answer:

genomic imprinting

Explanation:

Genomic imprinting is a mechanism for regulating gene expression that allows expression of only one of the parental alleles, although both alleles are functional. Unlike most genes in which expression is biallelic, genes that are subjected to this mechanism (imprinted genes) have monoalelic expression; By definition, in an imprinted loci, only one allele is active (maternal or paternal), and the inactive is epigenetically marked by histonic modification and / or methylation of cytosines.

Genomic imprinting can cause some disturbances, among them Prader-Willi syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that involves a partial deletion of chromosome 15q on the paternal chromosome.

List two pro and cons of genetic engineering
eimsori [14]
Pros: Might someday cure disease, might someday increase crop yeild, might create things that can be of our use. 

Cons: Genetic engineering could cause food allergies, have bad side affects, it could kill animals over time. 

I hope this helps.
