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.

Name three pectoral muscles that are found in the thoracic wall of the pig
FromTheMoon [43]

The pectoral muscles are found on the anterior chest wall (thoracic wall) of a pig. Three pectoral muscles are:

1. Pectoralis major- the most superficial muscle in this region.

2. Pectoralis minor- the muscle that is below the pectoralis major

3. Serratus anterior- the muscle that is adjacent to the chest wall

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1

hodyreva [135]
<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>
