The A1 allele is at a frequency of 0.3 in a population and the A2 allele is at a frequency of 0.7. A1 is dominant. What percent

of the population would you expect to be expressing A1 if the population were at hardy Weinberg equilibrium? 75%,51%,3%,30%,49%, or 9%?

Answer:

The correct answer would be 51%

Hardy Weinberg equation can be expressed as

p² +2pq +q² = 1

  • where p is the frequency of dominant allele
  • q is the frequency of recessive allele
  • p² is the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype
  • q² is the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype
  • 2pq is the frequency of heterozygous genotype.

Now, frequency of allele A1 (dominant allele) = p = 0.3

and frequency of allele A2 (recessive allele) = q = 0.7

Being dominant in nature, A1 allele will be expressed in homozygous dominant as well as heterozygous condition.

Hence frequency of dominant genotype or A1 allele expression

= p² + 2pq

= (0.3)² + 2(0.3)(0.7)

= 0.09 + 0.42

= 0.51

Conversion in to percentage = (0.51/1) x 100 = 51%

Is the cladogram pictured here correct? Does it accurately represent the cladistic relationships between these species based on
grigory [225]

Answer:

The cladogram is correct.  The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

  • As with most other species excluding lamprey, paired arms and legs are established.
  • In any organism except lamprey as well as tuna, paired legs become available.
  • Throughout all animals, except lampreys, tuna, certain bullfrogs, the amniotic membrane seems to be preserved.
  • In kangaroos, rhesus monkeys including people, mammary glands were only ever available.
  • The placenta has only been found throughout rhesus monkeys and also in humans.
  • Foramen magnum forward will be exclusively found in humans.

What is a "True Mineral"?
Tatiana [17]

Answer: Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms. The study of minerals is called mineralogy. To be classified as a "true" mineral, a substance must be a solid and have a crystal structure.
