A geneticist collected data of a population of mice. Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (

Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).
What are the allele frequencies for the (B) and (b) alleles in this population?

A. B = 0.32; b = 0.68
B. B = 0.36; b = 0.64
C. B = 0.48; b = 0.52
D. B = 0.45; b = 0.55

Answer:

option C: B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Explanation:

Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).

BB        Bb       bb    Total

12     +  24    +  14   =  50

the formular for alleleic frequency (p) is (BB+ Bb/2) / total,

q = (bb + Bb/2) / total

Allelic frequecy of B (p) is (12 + 24/2) /50 = 12 + 12 = 24/50 = 0.48

Allelic frequency of b (q) is (14 + 24/2) / 50= 14 + 12 = 26/50 = 0.52

check p + q = 1; 0.48 + 0.52 = 1

What is poisonous enough to kill 100,000 turkeys? That’s the question asked by scientists who studied a mass die-off of turkeys

Answer: The best way for farmers to prevent fungi from growing is to make sure there is not enough  moisture for fungi to survive and grow

Explanation: Fungi require moisture or water for a wide number of reasons. One of the best guesses I can give as a reason to why they might need it is to help them in the process of digestion. Fungi use digestive enzymes which are specially shaped proteins that break down macromolecules like glucose or cellulose and a number of other biological molecules, and they do this through one of two processes, dehydration synthesis, or hydrolysis. Hydrolysis in particular is the one that requires water. It uses pieces of water to break a bond between complex sugars and carbohydrates among other molecules, to separate them into smaller and easier to absorb monomers which are the subunits that make up the molecule. It breaks apart the water and uses the pieces to fill in the gaps of the pieces the monomers used to share.

What is Nature. explain​
KIM [24]
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.[1]

In dogs, genes A and B are required for scent.Individuals homozygous for either one or both of the nonfunctional recessive allel
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

6/16 dogs will not be able to smell.

Explanation:

Genes A and B are considered for scent smell.

Individuals homozygous for either one or both of the nonfunctional recessive alleles are not able to smell.

The final cross would be AaBb x AaBb which has outcome of;

Individual with homozygous nonfunctional recessive alleles (bold ones):

  • One nonfunctional recessive alleles: Aabb, aaBB, aaBb, Aabb, aaBb (5/16)
  • Two nonfunctional recessive alleles: aabb (1/16)
  • All nonfunctional recessive alleles: 6/16 dogs that could not smell scents
