19% of a certain population of students at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is affected by an autosomal dominant condition called ‘laz

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

81%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the dominant and 'l' e the recessive allele for ‘lazybuttness’.

Since ‘lazybuttness’ is an autosomal dominant condition, the 19% of students affected by the condition correspond to the homozygous dominant (LL) and heterozygous (Ll) genotypes. Therefore, the rest of the population has the homozygous recessive genotype (ll) and is not affected. The frequency of students not affected is:

F = 100% - 19% = 81%

If George is 33 1/3% richer than Pete, than Pete is what percent poorer than George?

OleMash [197]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

George is 33 $\frac{1}{3}$ % ( $\frac{100}{3}$ %) richer than Pete. Let Pete's percentage of wealth be 100%.

Thus George percentage of wealth = 100% + $\frac{100}{3}$ %

= $\frac{400}{3}$ %

= 133 $\frac{1}{3}$ %

Pete's percent poorer than George can be determined by;

= $(\frac{100}{3})$ ÷ $(\frac{400}{3} )$ × 100

= $(\frac{100}{3})$ × $\frac{3}{400}$ ×100

= 0.25 × 100

= 25%

Pete is 25% poorer than George.

Biologists stocked a lake with 240 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

2.30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of fish tripled in the first year, making a total of 240 * 3 = 720 fishes.

(a) The formula for logistic equation is as the following

$P = P_0e^{kt}$

where P0 = 240 is the number of fishes initially, we can plug in P = 720 and t = 1 to calculate the constant k

$720 = 240e^{1k}$

$e^k = 3$

$k = ln3 = 1.1$

b) Using the following formula

$P = P_0e^{kt}$

with P = 3000, P0 = 240, k = 1.1, we can calculate the number of years it takes to get to 3000 fishes

$3000 = 240e^{1.1t}$

$12.5 = e^{1.1t}$

$1.1t = ln12.5 = 2.53$

$t = 2.30 years$
