A plant can either have a smooth seed (p) or a rough seed (q). Rough seeds are recessive and smooth seeds are dominant. In a pop

ulation of 100 plants, 32 of them have rough seeds.
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

a) What is q^2?

b) What is q?

c) What is p?

d) If there are 19 plants with rough seeds in a population of 100, what is the allele frequency for smooth seeds?

To calculate this, the Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p and q are the frequencies of the alleles (p - dominant, q - recessive), and p², q² and 2pq are the frequencies of the genotypes.

a) Since 32 plants have rough seed (recessive genotype: q²) out of 100 plants in total, then 

q² = 32/100 = 0.32


b) q = √q² = √0.32 = 0.56


c) Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.56 = 0.44


d) 19 plants with rough seeds (recessive genotype: q²) in a population of 100 means that q² = 19/100 = 0.19

We need to calculate p (the allele frequency for smooth seeds).
We can find q because we know q²:

q = √q² = √0.19 = 0.44

Since p + q = 1, then

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.56

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. It's mass is
Lelu [443]
Density \rho
is given by \rho = frac{m}{V}
where m is the mass of the object
V is the Volume of the object

let m1 be the mass of the smaller cube
let m2 be the mass of the larger cube

you know that the larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube
or m2=2*m1

so apply this information into the density equation and you can determine the volume of the larger cube

tim estimates that 60÷5.7 is about 10. Will the actual quotient be greater then or less than 10? explain
lana66690 [7]
The actual quotient will be greater than 10 because 60 divided by 5 is 12, so the answer will be between 10 and 12, so it will be greater than 10

State, with an​ explanation, whether the​ mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average. The average
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mean is the better method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to meassure the average height is throught mean. The mean of a sample is the average of that sample's height, and it will be a good estimate for the population's average height.

The mode just finds the most frequent height. Even tough the most frequent height will influence the average height, knowing only what height is the most frequent one doesnt give you enough informtation about how the height is centrally distributed.

As for the median, it is fine to use the median of a sample to estimate the median of the population, but if you use the median to estimate the average height you may have a few issues. For example, if you include babies in your population, the babies will push the average height down a lot and they are far below te median height. This, as a result, will give you a median height of a sample way above the average height of the population, becuase median just weights every person's height the same, while average will weight extreme values more, in the sense that a small proportion of extreme values can push the average far from the median.
