Answer:

Thus, 50% of the population are are heterozygous carriers for this condition

Explanation:

Researchers have calculated that 22% of the population have Uner Tan Syndrome. This condition follows the recessive mode of inheritance.

22% have the condition = q² (genotypic frequency uu) = 22/100 = 0.22

using the formular p + q = 1, since q² = 0.22, q = √0.22 = 0.4690

Thus p = 1-q where  is 0.4690 = 1-0.4690

  p = 0.5310

Then p² = 0.5310² = 0.2820 = 28% (genotypic frequency of homozygous normal)

using the formula p² + 2pq + q² where 2pq is the genotypic frequency of the heterozygous carriers. Thus, we have

2 x 0.5310 x 0.4690 = 0.498 = 50%

Thus, 50% of the population are are heterozygous carriers for this condition

A tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is _____.
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. an example of a transgenic tomato (also called GMO tomato)

Explanation:

Genetic modification is the process by which an organim's genome is manipulated in order to achieve a desirable feature in such organism. Also called genetic engineering, genetic modification involves using biotechnology to alter an organims genetic composition. The organism whose genome is manipulated is called GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO) or TRANSGENIC ORGANISM.

In this case, a tomato with a gene from a fish that helps the tomato resist frost damage is said to be an example of GMO or transgenic organism because the genome of the tomato plant has been manipulated by inserting a desirable gene (resistance to frost) into it.
