A population of 150 individuals has an allele frequency of 0.2 for the dominant allele (H) and a frequency of 0.8 for the recess

ive allele (h). Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the frequencies of the three genotypes

Hardy-Weinberg Equation (HW) states that following certain biological tenets or requirements, the total frequency of all homozygous dominant alleles (p) and the total frequency of all homozygous recessive alleles (q) for a gene, account for the total # of alleles for that gene in that HW population, which is 100% or 1.00 as a decimel. So in short: p + q = 1, and additionally (p+q)^2 = 1^2, or 1
So (p+q)(p+q) algebraically works out to p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = genotype frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
The problem states that Ptotal = 150 individuals, H frequency (p) = 0.2, and h frequency (q) = 0.8.
So homozygous dominant individuals (HH) = p^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04 or 4% of 150 --> 6 people
Heterozygous individuals (Hh) = 2pq = 2(0.2)(0.8) = 0.32 or 32% of 150
--> 48 people
And homozygous recessive individuals (hh) = q^2 = (0.8)^2 = 0.64 = 64% of 150 --> 96 people
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve these types of population genetics problems!

C. To make a punnet square, make a square and make a line through from bottom to top, and left to right. Then on top, put one of each letter (FF) on top of each square. Do the same with the other (ff). Then put each letter in the box that matches where the letters are. You will get Ff for each. Tell me if you need more help. Punnet squares can be confusing at first.

The nurse is providing postoperative care for an obese adult who had major abdominal surgery. the client has a history of smokin
padilas [110]
The test that the nurse will need to check is the OXYGEN SATURATION TEST.
In an healthy lungs, the oxygen saturation level ranges between 95 and 100%, this means that, when red blood cells pass through the lungs 95 to 100% of them is saturated with oxygen. When a lung disease is present, this percentage will be highly reduced. Thus, the oxygen saturation test gives an indication of how efficient the patient's breathing is
