Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: A (dominant) and a (recessive). Only homozygous individu

als that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. If the a allele has a frequency of 20%, and the A allele had a frequency of 80%, what percentage of the population will have the condition?
A. 20%
B. 4%
C. 80%
D. 64%

Let a be Q, all which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2

A = p, AA which is homozygous recessive = Q∧2


2pq = heterozygous

It is derived from p+ q = 1

All those in a population which is Q = 20%


All A in the population (p) = 80%

Now that the disease is homozygous recessive therefore,

aa = qq or q × q = 0.20 × 2 = 4%

Then the answer is 4%.

  1. Answer: The correct answer is -  B. 4%  Explanation:  As per the given information in the question, the genetic condition is homozygous recessive (aa).   The frequency of dominant (A) and recessive allele (a) are given, which are 20% (that is 0.20) and 80% (0.80) respectively.  According to Hardy-Weinberg Principle - p+q=1 ,  p{2} +2pq+q^{2} =1 Where, p and q denotes frequency of dominant and recessive alleles respectively.   p2 = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (AA)   q2= frequency of homozygous recessive gentotype (aa)   2pq= frequency of heterozygous genotypes (Aa).   We have given value of - p= 0.80 and q= 0.20   To calculate the frequency of homozygous recessive condition (aa) that is represented by q2- q2 = 0.20 × 0.20 = 0.0400  In percentage -  [0.0400/10000] ×100 = 4% Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Which geologic feature would most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another? A. a hill B. a cliff
Naily [24]

The answer should be C, a plain.

Contour lines are used to indicate the height of the land in a map. The closer the contour lines are, the steeper the land will be, as the height of the land changes rapidly.

Therefore, if the contour lines are drawn far apart from each other, most likely the height of the land doesn't changes that much, it remains the same for a larger area, which means a plain should be the answer, as its height doesn't change as much as the other hills, cliff, or valley does.
