To test for the presence of reducing sugars, a food sample is dissolved in boiling water. Next, a small amount of Benedict's reagent is added and the solution begins to cool. During the next four to 10 minutes, the solution should begin to change colors. If the color changes to blue, then no glucose is present. If a high amount of glucose is present, then the color change will progress to green, yellow, orange, red and then a dark red or brown.

Suppose the human trait for hair type is controlled by a simple dominant and recessive relationship at one locus. Curly hair, C,

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C $= 0.4376$

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc $= 0.2461$

Explanation:

Given -

Curly hair, C, is the dominant allele, and straight hair, c, is the recessive allele

Number of students with curly hair is $37$

Thus frequency of genotype "CC"

$= q^{2} = \frac{37}{117} \\= 0.3162$

Thus, frequency of allele "q"

$= \sqrt{0.3162} \\= 0.5623$

As per Hardy Weinberg's first equation-

$p+q=1$

Substituting the value of q, we get -

$p+0.5623=1\\p= 0.4376$

As per Hardy Weinberg's second equation -

$p^2+q^2+2pq=1\\$

Substituting the values of "p" and "q" we get -

$0.4376^{2} + 0.3162+2pq = 1\\2pq = 0.2461\\$

Hence,

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C $= 0.4376$

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc $= 0.2461$
