Answer:

a. The frequency of the g allele= 0.6

b. The frequency of the G allele= 0.4

c. The frequency of the GG genotype= 0.16 or 16%

The frequency of Gg genotype= 0.48 or 48%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the disorder is homozygous recessive trait. The frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype (gg) in the population (q^2)= 36% or 0.36

Therefore, the frequency of the recessive allele "g" (q) = square root of 0.36= 0.6

Since p+ q = 1

Therefore p= 1-q = 1-0.6= 0.4

The frequency of the dominant allele "G" (p)= 0.4

The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype GG = p^2= 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16 or 16%

The frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype Gg = 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48 = 48%

Can someone give me an example of negative and positive feedback?
Archy [21]
A negative feedback example is Human body temperature - The hypothalamus of a human responds to temperature fluctuations and responds accordingly. If the temperature drops, the body shivers to bring up the temperature and if it is too warm, the body will sweat to cool down due to evaporation.

When are the genes involved in lactose metabolism in e. Coli expressed and when are they turned off?.
Setler79 [48]

Genes involved in lactose metabolism can be found in the E. coli lac operon. Only when lactose and glucose are both present does it express.

<h3>Why are the E. coli genes involved in lactose metabolism referred to as an operon?</h3>

They are both under the same promoter's control. A promoter is a brief DNA region where RNA polymerase interacts to initiate transcription of the downstream genes that are under its transcriptional control. When more than one gene is controlled by the same promoter, we refer to the group of genes as an operon.

<h3>The lac operon turns on when there is lactose present.</h3>

Lactose binds to the repressor protein and prevents it from binding to the operator when lactose is present in the media.
