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

Why do most plants appear green?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Most plants appear green because they absorb all other colors of light and reflect back green into our eyes. Since chlorophyll molecules use the red (opposite of green) end of the visible light spectrum to complete photosynthesis, then red is most heavily absorbed.

True The second law of thermodynamics is broken when a fertilised egg grows into a sophisticated adult organism. The second law of thermodynamics is broken when a fertilised egg grows into a sophisticated adult organism.

<h3>What does chemistry's second law of thermodynamics say?</h3>

According to the second rule of thermodynamics, processes and chemical reactions only take place if and only if they cause an increase in entropy in the universe that is higher than or equal to zero.

<h3>Do cells fall under the second rule of thermodynamics?</h3>

No Closed systems fall under the purest application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Closed systems cannot exist in living systems; otherwise, they are not living.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers, and carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers. Animals and people who eat both animals and plants are called omnivores. Then there are decomposers (bacteria, fungi, and even some worms), which feed on decaying matter.
