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

Why is frog egg laid in long gelatin fluid
Naya [18.7K]
Although amphibious frogs live on land and in water, they must lay their eggs in water or the eggs will dry up, effectively killing the offspring inside. Frog eggs are covered with a glycoprotein, which helps keep the eggs moist. This glycoprotein has to keep in contact with a source of moisture, such as water.

Hormones play an important role in regulating blood glucose levels. what is an example of this?
Ber [7]
The human body wants blood glucose (blood sugar) maintained in a very narrow range. Insulin and glucagon are the hormones which make this happen. Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. The picture on the left shows the intimate relationship both insulin and glucagon have to each other. Note that the pancreas serves as the central player in this scheme.  It is the production of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas which ultimately determines if a patient has diabetes, hypoglycemia, or some other sugar problem.(i hope this can help you) :)
