A new kind of tulip is produced that develops only purple or pink flowers. Assume that flower color is controlled by a single-ge

ne locus and that the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c). A random sample of 1000 tulips from a large cultivated field yields 847 purple flowers and 153 pink flowers. The proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes is 467.
a. Determine the frequency of the purple and pink alleles in this field population.
b. Estimate the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes.

Answer:

Explanation:

the purple allele (C) is dominant to the pink allele (c).

The frequency of C represents p while that of c represent q. Using the formula p+q= 1

The proportion of pink flower is 153/1000 = 0.153. This is also the frequency of the genotype cc (q^2).

Thud to find q which is the frequency of the c allele,

q = √0.153

q = 0.3912

From the formula p +q = 1 we can find p p = 1 - 0.3912

p which is the frequency of the C allele

p = 0.6088.

B. the proportion of all purple flowering plants that are heterozygotes and homozygotes is 847 / 1000 = 0.847

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
Nonamiya [84]

Ans.

Platelets are a type of blood cells, responsible for blood clotting. These cells prevent excessive blood loss from wound as they form plug or clot at the site of injury to repair the damage.  Thus, the option). platelets is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'

White blood cells or WBCs are components of immune system that protect the body from harmful foreign molecules, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses and harmful body cells, such as tumor cells.  Thus, the option). white blood cells is correctly matched with 'fighting bacteria.'

Red blood cells or RBCs are blood cells that transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients to the different part of the body. These cells are made up of hemoglobin and protein. Thus, the option). red blood cells is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'

Plasma is the non-cellular, colorless, fluid portion of blood, composed of proteins, vitamins, antibodies, amino acids, and other micromolecules. It is responsible for viscous nature of blood. Thus, the option). plasma is correctly matched with 'providing viscosity to the blood.'

How is adhesion used in the human body
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The tendency of water molecules to stick to other molecules also allows water to dissolve substances that are important to life, such as ions, DNA, and many proteins. This is necessary for life because molecules that have been dissolved in water or another polar solvent interact with each other more readily.
