Researchers studying a small milkweed plant population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They ident

ify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. In this population, the genotypic frequencies are TT= 56, Tt = 28, and tt = 16. For each problem below, show all of your work. A. Calculate the observed allele frequencies. B. Calculate the expected genotypic frequencies. C. Is this population in HW equilibrium? If not, explain what may cause it to not be (for example, is one level of toxin more adaptive than others?).

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!

Two consecutive even positive integers have a product of 2,400. What is the smaller of the two numbers?
Flura [38]

Answer: <u>Option C; 48</u>

Explanation:

Let one number = x

Other number = x+2

According to question-

[x] [x+2] = 2400

x^{2} + 2x - 2400 = 0

Solving this equation, we get-

[x - 48] [x - 50 ] = 0

x = 48 or 50

Since 48 is the smaller number here, answer is option C

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by 70 % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is 0.7

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42

Hence, option C is correct
