A researcher used PTC taste paper to estimate the number of non-tasters in a group of customers entering the UD creamery. She fo

und there were 72 non-tasters [tt], 6 slight tasters [Tt] and 58 tasters [TT]. Using the formula for Hardy Weinberg, state the number of individuals that would be tasters, slight tasters and non-tasters if the population were to be in equilibrium.

Answer:

In a population at H-W equilibrium:

- Tasters [TT] ~ 28 individuals

- Slight tasters [Tt] ~ 67 individuals

- Non-tasters [tt] ~ 41 individuals

Explanation:

To determine if the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we need to use the equation p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous genotype TT (taster phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous genotype tt (non-taster phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype Tt (slight taster phenotype).  

In addition, the sum of the allele frequencies for the allele T and allele t must be 1, so p + q = 1.

In this example:

Frecuency of the T allele: [(58 x 2) + 6] / [(58 x 2) + (6 x 2) + (72 x 2)] = 122/272 = 0.449

Frecuency of the t allele: [(72 x 2) + 6] / [(58 x 2) + (6 x 2) + (72 x 2)] = 150/272 = 0.551 >>>

p + q = 0.449 + 0.551 = 1  

In consequence,

p² (TT) = 0.449² = 0.2016 (i.e., 20.16% of the total population) >> 27.4 individuals

2pq (Tt) = 2 x 0.449 x 0.551 = 0.495 (i.e., 49.5% of the total population) >> 67.3 individuals

q² (tt) = 0.551² = 0.3036 (i.e., 30.36% of the total population) >> 41.3 individuals

Answer:

Fire detecting Scanner.

Explanation:

Fire detecting Scanner is a system which has the ability to scan the area and tells the changes occurs in the fire inside the earth crust. This scanner collect all information about the area on the basis of which we can take steps to avoid the damage caused by the fire. With the help of this scanner we can tell that which part is safe and which part of the area is dangerous for people.

1.What is the metric system? Why might scientists prefer using metric units rather than feet or inches?
koban [17]

Hey there!

1.The metric system is a decimal system of measurement whose units are based on certain physical standards and are scaled on multiples of 10.Metric units of length are easy to use because they are based on multiples of 10.


2.You can immerse the solid in water and measure the volume of the water displaced. The solid cannot dissolve in water.


3.A degree on the Fahrenheit scale must be smaller because there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling as compared to 100 degrees for the same range on the Celsius scale.


Hope this helped @ShaggySnaps
