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.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

Stem cells found in bone marrow are called: A. Pluripotent B. Multipotent C. Somatic D. Totipotent
ZanzabumX [31]

A. Pluripotent

Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.

Predict what the results would be if mrna were radioactively labeled instead of polypeptides
Vikentia [17]
What  would  happen  if  M RNA   were  radio actively  labeled  instead  of  polypeptides  is   that    instead  of  one  seeing  the  DNA  passing  through  all  the  molecular  factories  you  will  instead see  just  messenger  RNA   taking  code  and   delivering  it  to  Ribosome.  This  is  mainly  found   in   cytoplasm  and  Endoplasmic  recticulums.

Alina [70]
Unlike Lipids, the nucleic acids typically do not form polymers with its own kind. The polymers are the substances or molecules composed of large number of repeating units or sub units. Instead of having the same polymers, the nucleic acids are form nucleotides come together through phospodister between carbon atoms.
