In a population of plants, the allele for long stems (S) is completely dominant over the allele for short stems (s). If 35% of t

he population has short stems, calculate the percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous (Ss). 48 percent 59 percent 41 percent 17 percent

Answer:

The correct answer would be 48 percent.

It can be solved by using the Hardy-Weinberg equation.

p² +  2pq+ q²  = 1

p + q = 1

where, p² represents homozygous dominant's frequency that is, SS in this case,

q² represents homozygous recessive's frequency that is, ss in this case,

2pq represents heterozygous dominant's frequency that is, Ss in this case.

p represents dominant allele's frequency and q represents the recessive allele's frequency.

Now, the percentage of homozygous recessive or short stems is 35%. Therefore, the frequency of homozygous recessive would be 0.35.

Thus, the value of q² = 0.35

So, q = \sqrt{0.35} = 0.59 which is approximately equals to 0.6.

As p + q = 1 so, q = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

The frequency of heterozygous (Ss) = 2pq = 2(0.6)(0.4) = 0.48

Hence, the frequency of heterozygous would be 48 percent.

What is the pH if 20 mL of pH = 2 solution is diluted to a final volume of 600 mL?
Mashutka [201]

Explanation:

Hydrogen atoms contain 1 proton and 1 electron while being devoid of neutrons. When they lose their electron they form an ion or H+, a particle carrying a unit of positive charge.  pH measures how basic or acidic a water-based solutions are, with a formula for pH is

pH = -log[H+].

...where pH is -base 10 log of the concentration of hydrogen ions within the solution.

Initial volume= 20 mL

Final volume= 600 mL

# of dilutions= \frac{600}{20} = 30

for a pH 2= [H+]= 10^{=2}

∴ [H+]=  \frac{10^{-2}}{30} = 3.333 * 10^{-4}

and pH is an antilog of [H+]= - log \frac{10^{-2}}{30} = 3.333 * 10^{-4}

∴pH = 3.47
