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.

Which of the following processes is key to producing gametes?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

meiosis

Explanation:

Gametes are formed through meiosis (reduction division), in which a germ cell undergoes two fissions, resulting in the production of four gametes. During fertilization, male and female gametes fuse, producing a diploid (i.e., containing paired chromosomes) zygote

The function of which cell part is most similar to the human excretory sytem?
Radda [10]
<span>Lysosomes are organelles which are responsible for breaking down and digesting wastes in the cell.

Lysosomes and vacuoles have the same functions. Both are enclosed organelle compartments within a cell  and are recycling centers responsible for breaking down substances or complex molecules that goes into a cell. Both are sacs which contain digestive enzymes for breaking down foreign materials, food, and pathogens. Vacuoles are found in plant cells and lysosomes are in animal cells. Vacuoles play an important role in plant’s food production. It stores water and hydration of plants.<span>

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

homo-zygous lethal dominant

Explanation:

A homo-zygous lethal pattern is a type of inheritance where an allele is lethal in homo-zygous individuals. In normal dominance, the expected genotype ratio when F1 heterozygous individuals are crossed is 1:2:1 (i.e. 1 homo-zygous dominant: 2 heterozygous individuals and 1 homo-zygous recessive), while the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (3 individuals expressing the dominant allele: 1 individual only expressing the recessive allele). In this case, the homo-zygous lethal allele changes the expected F2 phenotypic ratio to 2:1 (i.e., 2 heterozygous singing Beetles : 1 homo-zygous recessive non-singing Beetles), where the partially dominant allele is lethal in homo-zygous individuals.
