In a large flock of 6520 sheep, 53 of them have yellow fat while the rest of the flock members have white fat. Yellow fat is inh

erited as a recessive trait. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many of the white fat sheep will have a homozygous dominant genotype?

Answer:

number of sheep with homozygous dominant white fat genotype = 5399

Explanation:

If p = frequency of dominant allele and q= frequency of recessive allele

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q =1 and p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q²= frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

and 2pq= frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here,

q² = 53/6520= 0.0081

q = √0.0081 = 0.09

p = 1-q = 1-0.09= 0.91

So, p² = 0.91² = 0.8281

number of sheep with homozygous dominant white fat genotype= 0.8281*6520 = 5399

Answer:

Protein.

Explanation:

Pathogens may be defined as the disease causing organism and capable of inducing immune response in the organisms. The organisms that can acts as pathogen are virus, bacteria and nematodes.

Different experiments have been performed to find the infectious agent. The digestion of trypsin protect the animals from the disease. This means the infectious agent must be protein as the protein digestion disrupts the pathogenicity of the organism.

Thus, the answer is protein.
