Hair plays an important role in our lives. The hair on our head keeps us warm and acts as a cushion for our skull. Hair appearance can also help form our identity and self-image, which makes hair loss very troubling.

Most hair disorders aren’t serious, but they are often considered major cosmetic issues that require treatment. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss, although there are a number of other hair conditions that can affect the scalp and other parts of the body.

A population of 100 tigers has 30 with horizontal stripes. Using pedigrees, you ascertain that horizontal striping is caused by
bixtya [17]

Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can sayt that  <em>the</em><em> probability</em><em> that, given enough time, all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes is</em><em> 30% = 0.3.</em>

--------------------------

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Population size, N = 100 tigers
  • Number of Tigers with horizontal stripes = 30
  • Horizontal stripes is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation.

We need to know the probability that all tigers in the population will have horizontal stripes, which is the recessive phenotype.

We assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, so there should be no evolution.

Since the population is in H-W equilibrium, the allelic, genotypic and phenotypic frequencies will remain the same generation after generation.

Now, we will calculate the allelic and genotypic frequencies of horizontal striped individuals in the population.

There are 100 individuals, and only 30 have horizontal stripes.

So, the phenotypic frequency, F(HS) is 30/100 = 0.3 = 30%

Since this is a recessive phenotype, this value equals the genotypic frequency, F(hh) = 30%

Finally, we can get the allelic frequency by taking the square root of this value.

F(hh) = q² = 0.3

f(h) = q = √0.3 = 0.55 = 55%

According to these calcs, the probability for the fixation of the recessive allele is 55%, and the probability that all individuals express the recessive horizontal stripes phenotype is 30%.

Ok first of you need to know what a lipid is. A lipid is <span>a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This includes waxes, steroids etc. Lipids are important for living cells. Together with carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells. Cholesterol and triglycerides are also considered lipids. </span>

<span>So I would go with C. </span>
