In a certain flock of sheep 91% of the sheep have white wool while the rest have black wool. Assume the population is in Hardy-W

einberg equilibrium. If black wool is a recessive trait, what percentage of the population is heterozygous for this trait?

Using the hardy-weinburg equation; 2p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

2p2+2pq = 91% = 0.91

q2 =   9% = 0.09

Therefore q = 0.3; and since p + q = 1; then p = 1 – 0.3 = 0.7

P = 0.7

Heterozygous indivisuals in the population (i.e 2pq) therefore is derived as following;

2pq = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3 = 0.42 = 42%

The answer is 42%

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.

Answer:it is a similar thing to natural selection, the ones less effected by it survive and adapt over time to survive the vaccine. However, google defines it this way, "The adaptive immune system, also known as the acquired immune system or, more rarely, as the specific immune system, is a subsystem of the overall immune system that is composed of highly specialized, systemic cells and processes that eliminate pathogens or prevent their growth"
