Assume a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the B gene, which has two alleles, B and b. In this population of 100,0

00 individuals, if the frequency of the b allele (q) is 4%, how many homozygous bb individuals would you expect to find in the population?

Answer:

160

Explanation:

If p = frequency of dominant allele and q = frequency of recessive allele according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

q² = frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here,

b = 4% = 0.04

bb = 0.04 * 0.04 = 0.0016

Number of individuals in population = 100000

Number of homozygous bb individuals = 0.0016 * 100000 = 160

Part of the photosynthesis process that puts carbon dioxide into the form of carbohydrates is the _____.
Anit [1.1K]

The best answer is Calvin cycle.

The Calvin cycle is the main mechanism by which plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.  The Calvin cycle occurs in three major stages namely the carboxylation phase, reduction phase and regeneration phase in that order.

It is in the carboxylation phase that with the help of an enzyme called RuBisCo that carbon dioxide is added to a sugar called  ribulose  to form a 6-carbon intermediate which is then converted to 3PGA (3-phosphoglycerate)

3PGA goes through the remaining stages to finally  form G3P (glyceraldehyde3 phosphate) which is then used to make carbohydrates essential to the plant  such as sucrose, glucose, starch  and cellulose.
