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

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:

The James-Lange theory of emotion.

Explanation:

According to the James-Lange theory, emotion is equivalent to the array of physiological arousal resulting due to external incidents. The two scientists indicated that for someone to feel emotion, he or she must first encounter with bodily responses like increased heart rate, increased respiration, or sweaty hands.  

Once this physiological reaction is determined, then the individual can suggest that he or she is feeling the emotions. This is in contrast to the general common-sense way of thinking regarding the cause and effect association between the experience of emotion and its expression.
