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.)

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%

Imagine that a given species has a gene for hair color (B = dominant brown, b = recessive white) and a gene that controls hair l
serg [7]

Answer:

Phenotypes: All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

Explanation:

Hair color :

B = dominant brown

b = recessive white

Hair length :

S = dominant short

s = recessive long

The dihybrid cross between parents with the genotypes:

BBSS × BbSs

If BBSS self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, BS, BS, BS

If BbSs self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, Bs, bS, bs

The dihybrid cross is as follows:

              BS                     BS                  BS                BS

BS          BBSS                BBSS            BBSS             BBSS        

Bs          BBSs                 BBSs            BBSs              BBSs

bS          BbSS                BbSS           BbSS              BbSS

bs          BbSs                 BbSs            BbSs              BbSs

Phenotypes = All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes include:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

During ________ , ATP is captured when a six-carbon sugar breaks down into 2 three-carbon compounds.
OverLord2011 [107]
The answer is Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first stage of Respiration that happens in the cytoplasm of the cell. In this process, a 6-carbon sugar molecules is broken down to form 2 molecules of 3-carbon pyruvate. The process of Glycolysis generates ATP in the presence of oxygen.

humans enjoy eating largemouth bass what would happen if the fishing industry fished every largemouth bass out of the ecosystem
Kruka [31]

Then they would go extinct

we would not be able to eat them anymore

and the food chain will get messed up because some animals eat the large mouth bass and now they cant, and also the animals that the large mouth bass eats will overpopulate because the large mouth bass isn't there to eat them
