Answer: Selective breeding

Explanation:

Selective breeding or artificial breeding is a process that allows humans to select parents in plants and animals that have desirable traits. Such parents are bred to produce offspring that have desirable traits from both parents. Humans have bred many species of plants and animals to improve the quality of plant and animal yields in terms of crops, milk, meat, eggs, and other derivatives.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

F (pp) = 0.04

F (Pp) = 0.32

F (PP) = 0.64

Explanation:

Studying population genetics, we used the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium model. In the case of snails, the H-W principle predicts that the total number of cases in the population should follow the following equation: PP + 2.Pp + pp = 200.

If a population has 200 snails and 8 are affected by a recessive condition, we have 4% affected, or 0.04.

This means that 0.04 corresponds to p², and p corresponds to 0.2.

Therefore, P is equal to 0.8 because p + P = 1.

Knowing the allele frequencies, we go to the frequency of the genotypes.

F (pp) = p² = 0.04 = 8 snails

F (Pp) = 2.Pp = 0.32 = 64 snails

F (PP) = P² = 0.64 = 128 snails

oksano4ka [1.4K]

The answer is A p is the frequency of the dominant allele. So the p squared would be the frequency of the homozygous dominant allele because homo means the same.
