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!

Which best exemplifies the concept of neuroplasticity?
KonstantinChe [14]
The correct answer is "the formation of new brain cell connections as the result of reading a book".

Usually, neuroplasticity is apparent in young children when the central nervous system has an abundance of neurons. This is always in the context of forming new brain cell connections or synapses that will lead the person to access the information quicker. This also exemplifies the principle of use and disuse when it comes to knowledge. 

The other choices concerns the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the endocrine/reproductive system; all of which do not have a relation with neuroplasticity.

In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system ________ the arteries of the circulatory system and ________ the pupils
sukhopar [10]
The correct terms to fill in the blanks would be contracts and dilates. In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system contracts the arteries of the circulatory system resulting to the dilation of the pupils of the eyes. Also, during these situations, the blood sugar levels are raised since the hormones for stress kick in to combat the stress which in turn raises the blood sugar.
