In a population of mice, the presence of black spots is the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the

allele for this condition is 0.15, what is the approximate percentage of heterozygous genotypes in this mouse population? (Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.)
12%
26%
72%
85%

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%

Consider two cells, where one cell is haploid and the other is diploid. Which of the following differences between the two cells
Brut [27]

Answer:

In the haploid cell, only one pair of sister chromatids are present, whereas in the diploid cell, two pairs of sister chromatids are present.

Explanation:

Chromosomes with their sister chromatids become visible during prophase. A haploid cell has only one complete set of chromosomes while there are two complete sets in a diploid cell. Therefore, prophase in a haploid cell would show the presence of only one pair of sister chromatids for each chromosome. This cell would not have the homologous pair with two pairs of sister chromatids.

On the other hand, the diploid cell would have two homologous chromosomes for one homologous pair. Each of the chromosomes of a pair would have two sister chromatids. Therefore, one homologous pair would have a total of four chromatids or two pairs of sister chromatids.
