Consider a population of 425 diploid giant Sequoia trees. In this population, you observe the following genotypic counts: 100 ho

mozygous dominant genotypes, 250 heterozygous genotypes, and 75 homozygous recessive genotypes. What is the allele frequency of the recessive allele in this population (use two decimal places and the usual rounding conventions)

Answer:

q = 0.42

Explanation:

This question is an example of Hardy-Weinberg question and there are two equations necessary to carry out this question;

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q²  = 1

where;

p = the frequency of the dominant allele

q =  the frequency of the recessive allele

p² = the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant genotype

2pq  = the frequency of individuals with heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype

Since the total  population = 425

q² = \frac{individuals with recessive genotype}{Total Population}

= \frac{75}{425}

q² = 0.1765            

To find q; we need to square root both side to           eliminate the square from  q².

∴ \sqrt{q^2}=\sqrt{0.1765}

q = 0.4201

q = 0.42       (to two decimal places)

What were Punnett squares developed to do?
WITCHER [35]

Answer: to predict the probability of offspring genotypes

Explanation: Punnett squares are developed to predict the probability of offspring genotype. Punnett square is a square shaped diagram used for predicting the possible genotypes of a cross between two organisms. Punnett square is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who invented the approach. In punnett squares, the genotypes of the parents are written on the top and left hand side of the square while the possible genotypes of their offsprings are written in the boxes.

In general, the land changes temperature much more rapidly than the ocean. How does this fact explain the existence of land bree
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Land and sea breeze are produced because the land changes temperature rapidly than the ocean. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>The rates of heating up of land and sea are different. Land gets heated up faster than water. Temperature is crucial in determining the density of air. </em>

When land gets heated up the air near the land turns hot and this temperature is greater than the temperature of the air near the water surface. <em>Hotter air has less density than the air which is relatively less warm. Density difference creates pressure difference. </em>

Denser air has higher pressure than less dense air making air move from area of high pressure to area of low pressure. During the day<em> the land is heated up more and thus air move from sea to land and it is called sea breeze. </em>Just like it absorbs heat land releases heat at a faster rate.  

<em>Thus at night land the sea will be warmer than the sea and thus air will move from the land to the sea and it is called land breeze. </em>

I need help i dont know what im doing
frosja888 [35]
Hey!

Back when I was finding a school I had the same problem! That reminds me of K12!

So what you do is label the areas L that have low pressure which is areas that are near sea level, kind of cold areas.

For H you label those near the center of the map. Which is more of the HOT areas.

It’s currently cold here, burrrr!!

I’ll provide a picture below.

Awesome seeing someone that went to the same online school!

Have a great day,
Eric

Note: you don’t need to label everywhere. If recommend using the map to guide you!

Reply if you have any further questions!!!!
