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

Oxygen passes into the bloodstream across the membranes in the lung by the process of.
Mashutka [201]
In a process called diffusion, oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood through the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) lining the alveolar walls. Once in the bloodstream, oxygen gets picked up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Identify the enzymes that are required for the synthesis of a glycogen particle starting from glucose 6‑phosphate. A. branching
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option A and C and D

Explanation:

Gylcogen is synthesized through a series of reactions through the assistance of enzymes. When glucose enter into the cell, it is converted into glucose 6-phosphate and then into glucose 1-phosphate and finally into uridine 5ʹ-diphosphate-glucose. In glycogenesis, glycogen is broken down into glucose 1-phosphate with the help of two glycogen phosphorylase. In the next stage the glycogen debranching enzyme untangles the branch points.

Hence, option A and C and D are correct

Answer:

Forms of fossils and there arrangement with layer of rock.

Explanation:

  • The seashore is a significant place for the depositional work of waves and it's also one of the significant places for the erosion and weathering of rocks.  
  • The presence of sedimentary rocks along the cliffs are essential for the discovery of fossils of plants and animals. Fossils of shells and other creatures that were of marine origin are mostly discovered near excavation sites. Fossil helps to prove the age of rocks and strata.
