In a certain population of rabbits, the allele for brown fur is dominant over the allele for white fur. If 20 out of 100 rabbits

have white fur, what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele? The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: [homozygous dominant]2 + 2[heterozygous] + [homozygous recessive]2 =

Brown fur (p) is dominant
White fur (q) is recessive
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
If 20 out of 100 have white fur (qq only), then q2 = 20% = 0.20
Recessive allele (q) = sr(q2) = sr(0.2)
--> q = 0.447 = 44.7%

Answer:

Explanation:

what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele?

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

brown is dominant

white is recessive =20%

the q^{2}=20%

find the square root of both sides

q=\sqrt{0.2}

q=0.447

is the allele frequency  for the recessive allele

q^2=0.2

The ratio of estrogen to progesterone remains constant throughout pregnancy into labor. false/true
Lady_Fox [76]

False,

In order to start labor, estrogen increases and progesterone decreases.

Estrogens are a class of hormones that are essential for women's healthy sexual and reproductive development. They are sex hormones as well. The majority of estrogen hormones are produced by a woman's ovaries, however minor quantities are also produced in modest amounts by the adrenal glands and fat cells.

Progesterone is a member of the progestin drug class (female hormones). By lowering the level of estrogen in the uterus, it functions as a component of hormone replacement treatment. By substituting for the natural progesterone that some women lack, it helps to initiate menstruation.

A record turntable is rotating at 33 rev/min. A watermelon seed is on the turntable 7.8 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) Calcul
Novosadov [1.4K]

Given data:

● Angular velocity of the turntable ω = 33 rev/min

Therefore,

ω = 33 rev/min

ω = 33rev/min × 2π rad/rev × 1 min/60 sec = 3.45 rad/s

● The distance of the watermelon seed from the axis of rotation r = 7.8 cm = 0.078 m

● μs = the coefficient of static friction

Section a:

The seed is undergoes circular motion and it is been effected by centripetal acceleration.

ac = rω^2

ac = 0.078 × 3.45^2

ac = 0.9284 m/s^2

Therefore,

the centripetal acceleration of the seed is 9.274 m/s^2

Section b:

If the seed is observed not to slip at the course of the circular motion, then the supplied frictional force given by the seed and surface of turntable would at least be equivalent to the centripetal force working on the seed.

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

mrω^2 = μsmg

μs = rω^2 /g

μs = 0.078 × 3.45^2

------------

9.81

μs = 0.09464

Thus,

the coefficient of static friction is 0.09464.

Describe the basic function of each of the three leaf tissues
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Each plant organ (roots, stems, leaves) contains all three tissue types: Dermal tissue covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption (in roots). Dermal tissue of the stems and leaves is covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents evaporative water loss.
