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!

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
