Answer:

The correct answer would be C. 0.60

It can be calculated with the help of Hardy-Weinberg equation i.e

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

Also, p + q = 1

  • where p represents the frequency of dominant allele.
  • q represents the frequency of recessive allele.
  • p² represents the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype .
  • q² represents the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype .
  • 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous genotype.

Number of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36

Number of homozygous recessive (yy) = 16

Number of heterozygous dominant (Yy) = 48

Total number of plants = 100

Now, frequency of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36/100 = 0.36

Therefore, p² = 0.36

So, p = √0.36 = 0.60

Hence, frequency of dominant allele (Y) = 0.60

Which of the following is an example of diffraction?
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

You try to pick up a shell in the water but it isn't where it appears to be is an example of diffraction

<u>Explanation:</u>

Diffraction refers to the light bending that happens as the light passes about the edge of some object. How much bending takes place is found by the size of wavelength of light relative to that of opening. If the opening is larger than the wavelength of light, then bending will not be noticeable.

Since, light gets diffracted due to water hence the shell kept inside the water appears to be at a different position than where it actually is

Assume that in cattle a spotted coat is dominant to an even coat, short horns are dominant to long horns, and the traits for coa
kow [346]

Answer:

C. 1/4

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for the spotted coat is "S" and the one for the even coat is "s". The allele "L" gives short horns while the recessive allele "l" imparts long horns. The genotype of the cattle heterozygous for both traits would be SsLl. A cross between two heterozygous cattle would produce progeny in following phenotype ratio=

9 spotted coat and short horns: 3 even coat and short horns: 3 spotted coat and long horns: 1 even coat and long horns.

Therefore, the proportion of the progeny with long horns = 4/16= 1/4

Why are the prefixes “mono” “di”, and “poly and the base “saccharide” good to use when describing the three types of carbohydrat
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number. 

What is the significance of these words in defining the 

three forms of sugars? 

These terms are used because they depict how the 

molecule appears. 

The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."
