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.

Pls help!!!
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Try this.

Explanation:

       I'm not too sure because the teacher never gave me enough information (Need Bigger Graph). Get bigger graph paper as it says "The X-axis should be years and the Y-axis should be coal production." On the X-axis (Horizontal Line) write "Years" and on the Y-Axis (Vertical Line) write "Coal Production."

Now, your gonna start listing all the years on the X-Axis 1996 through 2011, And on the Y-Axis list all the coal productions 145 and all the numbers through 634. Make sure you have the regions, Appalachian, Interior and Western.

     I'm sorry if this didn't help, this is what I did and it helped me, I thought it might help you too.

Which factors are responsible for high and low tides?
Vaselesa [24]
The following diagram shows how the moon causes tides on Earth: In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon.
