Black coat color in horses is conferred by the presence of a dominant B allele. Chestnut horses are genotype bb. A population of

wild horses consists of 226 black horses and 28 chestnut horses. Assume that this population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for this locus. Please round all answers correctly to 4 decimal digits. What is the frequency of the B allele? Answer:

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

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

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explain why the genetic code is called a triplet code
salantis [7]
The genetic code is broken down into a series of codons on the mRNA. Each codon consists of 3 nucleotides which (normally) correspond to a single amino acid (e.g. AUG codes for methionine). I say normally because you can also have a codon indicate a stop codon (so no amino acid will be inserted and instead the polypeptide chain will terminate). This mRNA molecule with its list of codons will instruct a ribosome to synthesize a protein according to this code. 

This code is the set of rules - based on the triplet or codon. This triplet code is universal - all organisms use the same codons to specify the placement of each of the 20 amino acids in a protein.

Edward Jenner's smallpox inoculation experiment was based on his observation that some dairymaids who worked
mariarad [96]

From anecdotes he heard, Edward Jenner came up with the premise and conclusion that dairy maids could not get small pox because they had previously been exposed to the virus.

<h3>What was conclusion of Edward jenner in case of small pox?</h3>

He also came to the conclusion that small pox may be passed from one person to the next. Edward Jenner came to this conclusion based on stories he had heard about dairy maids being immune to smallpox.

In 1736, Edward Jenner met Sarah Nelms, a young dairy girl with small pox lesions. Edward Jenner then vaccinated an 8-year-old kid named James Phipps with material from Nelms' small pox lesion. James Phipps suffered a fever and became unwell, but he recovered completely after ten days.

Jenner infected the same boy with materials from a fresh small pox lesion a month later. There was no sickness in the boy.

When Edward Jenner was inoculated/vaccinated with matter from a small pox lesion, he came to the conclusion that he could acquire total protection from small pox.
