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

Answer:

Yes, there is no convincing scientific evidence that thimerosal causes harm by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site

Explanation:

Thimerosal has been used safely as a vaccine additive, added to some vaccines to prevent germs like bacteria and fungi from growing in them dated since early 1930s. Though, Thimerosal contains mercury but the type of mercury doesn’t stays in the body, and is unlikely to make human fall sick.

Most people doesn't have any allergic reaction to it except for redness and swelling at the injection site as early mentioned and this is considered irrelevant when compared to effect of vaccine when contaminated by germ which could cause serious illness or death.

How are vascular plants and nonvascular plants different?
BigorU [14]
Vascular plants is the phloem, (vessal) that transports food and the xylem transports water. Nomvascular plants are small with no vascular system. Which means non vascular plants do not have a phloem or a xylem.
