In a sample of 2,400 people, 1,482 were found to have the dominant (taster) phenotype. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-

Weinberg equilibrium, approximately how many individuals in the sample are expected to be heterozygous for TAS2R38?

Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.

Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver whi
Debora [2.8K]

This is because if the two  metabolic processes were to be  active at at the same time;  

Two molecules of<u> ATPs</u> and <u>Guanosine triphophate </u>(sometimes used for  energy transport) <u>will be expended per each cycle, with no  compensatory rate  of replacements present  at the moment in the cell,this  affects cell metabolism for energy availability</u>

<u>2</u> Both<u> Glycolysis and Gluconeogensis </u>are both<u> exergonic processes  in cells. </u> The  heat energy liberated from these Calorinogenic effects  will be higher than what the natural thermodynamic barrier of cells can withstand. Consequently;  the heat will raise temperature of the cells affecting metabolic activities of hormones and enzymes which are (proteins) ,and easily denature by high temperatures.    

However, in muscles cells,gluconeogeneis is a compensasory process of Glycolysis. This because during active exercise with high metabolic demand in muscles cells, glucose is rapidly metabolise  to to pyruvate,(but not at the rate that the Citric acid  cycle can  metabolise) for Lactic acid production by muscles cells for energy production.  Pyruvate must be broken down rapidly so that NAD+ will be available for  Glycolysis to continue. Therefore  to sustain Glycolysis at this rate  continuous supply of glucose is supplied  from Gluconeogenesis.

Answer- D. Mutualism

Reason - Frog is using water pools of water collect by flower. Which benefits the frog :)
Then the frog also dispersed its waste which then also the flower can use for its benefits. So in all it's mutualism

The evolution of populations due to chance is
Nataly [62]

Answer:

D). genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the change in an allele frequency over a period of time. This event has to be random and a chance event.

For example: In a population of a flowering plant there are two types of flowers, blue and yellow. Due to a fire many yellow flowers are destroyed by chance. Now the resultant population will have more blue flowers and when they reproduce the population will eventually evolve to have more blue flowers. Effect of genetic variation is more pronounced in a small population since its easy to disturb the allele frequency.

Why does a needle left out in the sun get so much hotter than a bucket of water left out in the sun
Hitman42 [59]
The correct answer is 

Because the needle can't hold as much heat as the bucket of water. Therefore the water can hold and disperse more heat and the needle will be hotter.
