Answer:

Possible genotypes and their frequencies

Frequency of babies with blues eye having genotype "bb" is 0.5

Frequency of babies with brown eye having genotype "Bb" is 0.41

Frequency of babies with brown eye having genotype "BB" is 0.084

Explanation:

In a normal human being, brown eye color is dominant over blue eye color.

Thus B is dominant over b

Now,

Babies with blue eye colour will have genotype "bb" because it is a recessive trait thus both the alleles must be the recessive allele.

Therefore,

q^{2} = \frac{10}{20} \\=0.5

Thus

q=\sqrt{0.5} \\= 0.707\\=0.71

While the genotype of brown babies can be either homozygous dominant or heterzygous dominant

Now as per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

p+q=1

so p=1-0.71

p = 0.29

Thus frequency of babies with genotype "BB" is equal to p^{2}

= 0.084

Now frequency of babies with genotype "Bb" is

1-p^{2} -q^{2} =2pq

2pq = 0.41

Thus,

Frequency of babies with blues eye having genotype "bb" is 0.5

Frequency of babies with brown eye having genotype "Bb" is 0.41

Frequency of babies with brown eye having genotype "BB" is 0.084

Increased urination brought on by drinking too mugh ethyl alcohol is due to
inn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, inhibition of vasopressin.

Explanation:

Vasopressin also called ADH or anti-diuretic hormone results in the resorption of water by the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, and thus, minimizes the reduction of water via urine. Consuming ethyl alcohol results in the prevention of the secretion of ADH that results in frequent urination.
