Answer:

25% ;  50%

Explanation:

Assuming the dominant allele for the rolling tongue is P, then the recessive allele will be p.

The population unable to roll their tongue will be recessive dominant pp = 25% = 0.25

To find the frequency of the p allele then = (square root of 0.25) = 0.5

Remember the Hardy Weinberg equation of p + q = 1 & p² +2pq + q² = 1

Therefore P = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5

Homozygous dominant individuals will be P*P = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%

Heterozygous individuals will be 2*P*p= 2*0.5 *0.5 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%

What is the genotype of a male with red-green color blindness?
balandron [24]

Answer:

The genotype of male with red-green color blindness is XY, X chromosome possessing recessive allele of gene responsible for differentiating red-green color.

Explanation:

Color blindness is sex-linked trait and its inheritance follows criss-cross pattern. Dominant gene of allelomorpihc pair enables a person to differentiate between red and green color.

The genotype of male and female are different for the pair of sex chromosomes. Male is hetero-zygous (XY) and female is homo-zygous (XX). The gene controlling this trait is present on X chromosome.

Hope this helps (:

How does the human brain store and retrieve memories?
krek1111 [17]

Answer: After consolidation, long-term memories are stored throughout the brain as groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it (e.g. groups of neurons in the visual cortex store a sight, neurons in the amygdala store the associated emotion, etc).
