Considering the same population of cats as in Part A, what is the expected frequency of each genotype (TLTL, TLTS, TSTS ) based

on the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Keep in mind that you just learned in Part A that: The allele frequency of TL is 0.4. The allele frequency of TS is 0.6. The equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that at a locus with two alleles, as in this cat population, the three genotypes will occur in specific proportions: p2+2pq+q2=1 Enter the values for the expected frequency of each genotype: TLTL, TLTS, and TSTS. Enter your answers numerically to two decimal places, not as percentages. For help applying the Hardy-Weinberg equation to this cat population, see Hints 1 and 2.

Answer:

P = f(TLTL) = 0,16

H = f(TLTS) = 0,48

Q = f(TSTS) = 0,36

Explanation:

Hello!

The allele proportion of any locus defines the genetic constitution of a population. Its sum is 1 and its values ​​can vary between 0 (absent allele) and 1 (fixed allele).

The calculation of allelic frequencies of a population is made taking into account that homozygotes have two identical alleles and heterozygotes have two different alleles.

In this case, let's say:

f(TL) = p

f(TS) = q

p + q = 1

Considering the genotypes TLTL, TLTS, TSTS, and the allele frequencies:

TL= 0,4

TS= 0,6

Genotypic frequency is the relative proportion of genotypes in a population for the locus in question, that is, the number of times the genotype appears in a population.

P = f(TLTL)

H = f(TLTS)

Q = f(TSTS)

Also P + H + Q = 1

And using the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies of equilibrium are given by the development of the binomial:

p^{2} = f(TLTL)

2pq = f(TSTL)

q^{2} = f(TSTS)

So, if the population is in balance:

P = p^{2}

H = 2pq

Q = q^{2}

Replacing the given values of allele frecuencies in each equiation you can calculate the expected frequency of each genotype for the next generation as:

f(TLTL) = P = p^{2} = 0,4^{2} = 0,16

f(TLTS) = H = 2pq = 2*0,4*0,6 = 0,48

f(TSTS) = Q = q^{2} = 0,6^{2} = 0,36

I hope you have a SUPER day!

astra-53 [7]

Answer: C

Explanation: The process that occurred in the lake is natural selection. In the presence of an external environmental influence such as pollution, only the trouts that were fit to survive or in other words those that have the alleles that help in adapting to the new conditions live and increased in numbers. In such a case, one can say the fittest of the organisms survived and the corresponding allelic frequency in that population increased over time. The organisms carrying the other alleles died due to pollution and hence the overall frequency of alleles change.

You have a cup of vegetable oil and a vial full of normal phospholipids. What would you predict would happen if you dropped the
Jobisdone [24]

The vegetable oil is made up of chains of long fatty acids. These long chains of fatty acids are non-polar in nature, i.e, they do not interact through ionic forces rather by covalent forces. The phospholipids are also long chain fatty acids with an ionic head. The mixing of the vial of phospholipid in vegatable oil will lead to the formation of a micelle where the lipophilic ends of the phospholipid will be on the outside and the lipophobic end will be towards the centre of the micelle.
