A survey reveals that 25 percent of a population of 1,000 individuals have attached earlobes (are homozygous recessive for the t

rait). For the following questions, assume that the population fits the parameters of the Hardy-Weinburg law.
If p equals the frequency of the dominant allele and q equals the frequency of the recessive allele, which of the following terms represents the frequency of the individuals who show the dominant phenotype?
a. pxp
b. qxq
c. 2pq
d. pxp +2pq
e. pxp + qxq

Answer:

d. pxp +2pq

Explanation:

The formula for genotype frequency for a population in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium is as under:

                           p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where, p = dominant allele

           q = recessive allele

Here,

 p² represents frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq represents frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² represents frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Also, although the genotypes p² & 2pq are different from each other yet phenotypically they both will collectively produce dominant trait i.e. free ear lobes not attached earlobes. So the term "p² + 2pq or pxp + 2pq" represents the frequency of the individuals who show the dominant phenotype in this particular population. Dominant phenotype will comprise 75% of the population.

For excitation-contraction coupling, which of the following is/are required? and Why?
mihalych1998 [28]

a). Calcium ion and ATP

Explanation:

The excitation and contraction of the muscles takes place by Action potential  creation.

The muscle contraction is initiated when calcium ions binds to troponin. The binding of calcium with protein complex troponin changes the configuraton to  make actin sites active for ATP binding. This binding causes myosin to reach the state of high energy ( excitation), in which myosin head gets detach from the active site.
