In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi

nant, makes a heffalump hairy, whereas the h allele codes for the absence of hair. If 36% of the heffalump population is hairless, what is the frequency of the h allele?

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

Scientific research about the carbon cycle and global warming would be most valuable if the results
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

if the results are efficient in answering the problems raised in the research and if they manage to come to terms with the hypotheses.

Explanation:

As you may know, scientific research must be done through several steps that allow an experiment to be carried out in order to reach conclusions on a certain topic.

In research on the carbon cycle and global warming, it is necessary for the researcher to raise problems and questions about this topic, as well as to raise hypotheses that must be directly related to the results of the experiment. If the result of the experiment is efficient in answering the research problems and questions, in addition to being able to agree with the presented hypotheses, it means that the research has value within the scientific branch in which it fits, in addition to showing that the experiment was done correctly.
