Answer:
Not using control cases and testing his hypothesis only on one pacient, himself. Not creating or using a method that allowed him to measure the results.
Explanation:
During the investigation Alon had a few methodological flaws. First of all, he based a hypothesis over only one case, his own. He should have tested the product on different pacients under similar circumstances, the more the merrier. Moreover, it is not recommended that the investigator tests the hypothesis on himself, since he can lose perspective.
Second of all, he did not use control cases. This means he should have given placebo pills (pills with no medical effect at all) to a group of pacients without them knowing. Doing this helps eliminating the psicologycal factor of the equation, since pacients have proven to get better, in some cases, just because they thought the medicine would heal them, and not because of the drug itself.
Also, he came to a conclusion based on how anxious and worried he felt after the treatment, but expresses the results with words such as "much more". In this case he should have created and/or used a method to measure the change in anxiety and how much the pacient worried. For example, before starting the test he could have rated his anxiety level from 1 to 10, and then, done the same thing during and after the treatment was over. By doing this he creates data that can be numerically processed and makes the human subjectivity factor smaller.

If an organism takes in 1,000 kilojoules of energy in the form of food, how much of this energy still exists after the organism has used the energy to build new cells, repair damaged cells, pump its heart, and run from a predator?
The 1,000 kilojoules of energy taken in by an organism will be used for various activities and biological functions, with some lost as heat and the excess possibly stored as body fat. The specific amount of energy used or stored depends on the organism's metabolic rate and level of physical activity.
Explanation:If an organism takes in 1,000 kilojoules of energy in the form of food, all of this energy does contribute to various biological processes such as building new cells, repairing damaged ones, pumping its heart, and running from a predator. However, not all the energy is utilized for these activities. Some of the energy is lost as heat due to the inefficiency of biological processes, as dictated by the laws of thermodynamics. In a human for example, if they lead a sedentary lifestyle, they might use about 10 megajoules per day, half of which is used in basic metabolic processes and the rest in voluntary muscular activity. Without detailed information on the specific organism and its metabolic rate, we cannot determine the exact amount of energy expended for work or how much is converted to body fat or lost in other ways. Generally, if the intake of energy exceeds that of the metabolic needs, the excess is typically stored as body fat, which contains about 39 kJ/g.

What is plant blindness?
a. The inability to see or notice plants in one's own environment
b. The inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs
c. The inability to appreciate the aesthetic and unique biological features of plants
d. The misguided ranking of plants as inferior to animals - leading to the conclusion that plants are unworthy of human consideration
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
Plant blindness refers to "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment." The term plant blindness was coined twenty years ago by Elizabeth Schussler and James Wandersee who are botanists. Plant blindness results in "the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." It is also the reason why people have a tendency of ranking “plants as inferior to animals”. Therefore, plants tend to receive limited care and upkeep. It is important to recognize plant blindness so that more intentional care can be given to preserving our plant species and ensure their survival and ability to thrive.
An aquaculture facility hatched salmon eggs and tagged and released young fish into a river leading to the ocean. The fish fed and grew in the ocean, and in a few years some of the fish returned to the facility whereas some were found at other locations. Because the number of returning fish was low and the facility wanted to increase the rate of return to the facility, a scientist suggested adding a chemical to the river that would _________.
Answer: enable them to imprint on the facility
Explanation:
The addition of the chemicals to the river will help the fishes to recognize that this was their native habitat where they got birth and grew. This will act as a imprint formed by the facility which will help the fishes to recognize the water of the facility. This will help in increasing the number of fishes which return back to the facility.
When a colloid such as gelatin forms, which molecule does the process of protein coagulation entrap?
Answer:
Water
Explanation:
When a colloid such as a gelatin forms, water is entrapped by the process of protein coagulation.
Colloids can be describes as particles of solid having spherical diameter between 1 and 100 nm which are dispersed in the liquid medium. Coagulation can be described as a process in which particles aggregate and lead to the formation of flocs. Flocs can either settle in water or can easily be seperated from water.
Final answer:
In the formation of a colloid like gelatin, the process of protein coagulation entraps water molecules, leading to the formation of a gelatinous substance when it cools.
Explanation:
When a colloid such as gelatin forms, the process of protein coagulation entraps water molecules. Proteins like those in gelatin are hydrophilic, with surfaces covered in polar or charged groups that interact with water, creating a shell that protects against aggregation. Upon heating, these protective shells are disrupted, allowing the proteins to unfold and expose hydrophobic groups that cause the particles to aggregate and form a gel. In the case of gelatin, when it cools, it coagulates, trapping water within a complex three-dimensional network, thus transitioning into a gel, which is a highly viscous substance.

Which statement concerning polygenic traits is not true?
a. The most frequently discussed are skin, hair, and eye color.
b. Their expression is often influenced by genetic/environmental interactions.
c. The alleles have an additive effect on the phenotype, intensifying the genes.
d. They are continuous traits.
e. They are governed by more than one genetic locus.
Answer:
The correct answer is: C) The alleles have an additive effect on the phenotype, intensifying the genes.
Explanation:
Polygenic traits (such as skin, hair and eye color) are those phenotypes that are influenced by more than one gene, meaning that the whole genetic information needed for these traits is located in multiple loci.
Aside from consisting of many alleles participating in the expression of some characteristics, polygenic inheritance differs greatly from the classical mendelian inheritance by also having continuous variation (which means that there aren't only two possible outcomes, but a whole spectrum) and a much more complex inheritance pattern.
Even when the genetic information for these traits plays an important role on the expression of these genes, the environment can be of great impact on these phenotypes (such as how the diet of an individual can affect greatly on a person's weight).
Polygenic traits are also of variable expressivity (people with the same genotype can express the characteristic with different intensities) and of incomplete penetrance (even when having the same genotype, some people may not actually develop the phenotype associated with it).
The alleles, however, don't always have an additive effect as they sometimes do the opposite job and suppress the alleles of other genes.

Decide whether each of the following statements regarding photosynthesis and respiration is true or false. Energy is required for respiration. Sugar and oxygen O2 are consumed in photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O are consumed in respiration.
1. Energy is required for respiration.
Answer: True.
Explanation: Cell respiration is a three-step process in aerobic organisms (Those that need oxygen): Glycolisis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorilation. In glycolisis, glucose and other sugars are oxidize to pyruvic acid and energy (ATP) is needed in two of the reactions (to activate glucose and to activate fructose 6-phosphate).
2. Sugar and oxygen O2 are consumed in photosynthesis.
Answer: False.
Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process carry out by cianobacteria, algae and plants to produce sugar and oxygen from sunlight. This process has two phases:
a) Luminic phase. In this phase the energy from the sunlight is transported throught photosystems as electrons, oxygen and energy sustrates like NADPH are produced.
b) Calvin cycle. In this phase, sugars are synthetize from CO2 fixation and enzimatic activity in several steps, using NADPH produced in previous phase, as energy.
3. Carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O are consumed in respiration.
Answer: False.
Explanation: In cell respiration, glucose and other sugars are completely oxidize to produce energy as ATP and as a residue, CO2. In this process, oxygen is consumed producing oxygen-reactive species that are neutralized by enzimes to form water (H2O).
Energy is required for respiration, making the first statement true. The second statement is false; photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and water, not sugar and oxygen. The third statement is also false; respiration consumes oxygen and glucose, producing carbon dioxide and water.
Explanation:Deciding whether statements regarding photosynthesis and respiration are true or false requires an understanding of the basic principles of both processes. Energy is indeed required for cellular respiration; this is a true statement as cells use this process to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, from sugar and oxygen. Moving on to the second statement, it is false that sugar and oxygen O2 are consumed in photosynthesis; it is actually carbon dioxide and water that are consumed. The final statement that carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O are consumed in respiration is also false; in aerobic respiration, oxygen and glucose are consumed, while CO2 and H2O are produced as waste products.
Experimental studies reveal that double-stranded DNA can exist in three different helical forms known as A, B, and Z DNA. Why do molecular biologists primarily focus on B DNA?
Answer:
The correct answer is - B-DNA is the most common form of the DNA present in the cell and a good approximation of the structure of DNA in the cell.
Explanation:
The B- DNA is a form of the DNA that is explained by Watson and crick by the double-helical structure model. B-DNA is the predominant form of the DNA out of the three forms of the DNA which are B-DNA, Z-DNA, and A-DNA.
B-DNA is is provide a good approximation of the structure of DNA in a cell and its most common form of DNA in a cell that makes it the most studied and focused form of DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is - B-DNA is the most common form of the DNA present in the cell and a good approximation of the structure of DNA in the cell.
Answer:
B-DNA is the helical form most commonly found in nature.
Explanation:
Even though there are three different helical forms of DNA, molecular biologist primarily focus on B-DNA because is the most commonly found in nature. A very small proportion of Z-DNA is found in negatively supercoiled DNA, and A-DNA is formed when the DNA is facing dehydrating conditions. However, B-DNA is the prominent and active form found in nature, therefore is the most studied.
If an oocyte is fertilized by an X-bearing sperm, the child will be born a ________ with the chromosomal pair of ___________.
a. female, XY
b. male, XY
c. male, XX
d. male, it depends on what genetic information the oocyte carries
e. female, XX
Answer:
e. female, XX
Explanation:
In humans, females are homogametic because they produce only one type of gametes. All the female gametes ( oocyte or ova) have X-sex chromosome. Whereas, human males are heterogametic. they produce two types of gametes. Half of the gametes (sperms) have X-sex chromosome and half of the gametes (sperms) have Y-sex chromosome.
Therefore, an oocyte or female gamete is fertilized by an X-bearing sperm, the child will be born a female with the chromosomal pair of XX. one X from the male and one X from the female.
In a classic experiment that demonstrated the semiconservative nature of DNA replication, cells were grown first in 14N-containing media and later in 15N-containing media, and DNA was separated by
Answer:
Cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation
Explanation:
Centrifugation is a technique that separates the one type of molecules from the others based on some physical properties such as density, shape, molecular weight, etc.
Meselson and Franklin Stahl grew the E coli cells in the N-14 and N-15 medium. They isolated the DNA from E coli cells and separated the double helices by centrifugation in a cesium chloride density gradient.
The technique of density gradient centrifugation separates the heavy-heavy, light-light, and heavy-light DNA double helices into distinct bands as they differ from each other with respect to density.
Which task would be completed by an ecologist?
Options:
A.explore the medicinal uses of nectar
B.inoculate cattle against infection
C.survey and classify mollusk fossils
D.test the effect of cyanide on algae
The answer is option D "test the effect of cyanide on algae." Ecologist are researchers who study how organisms interact with their environment so in this case they are testing how algae reacts to cyanide. In another example they will be testing how a ape reacts to having a different fruit tree in their habitat. It wouldn't be option A, B, and C because you have to remember the job of a ecologist and the options are not jobs of one.

Explanation:
If the ATP-binding site of an enzyme is buried in the interior of the enzyme, in a hydrophobic environment, is the ionic interaction between enzyme and substrate stronger or weaker than that same interaction would be on the surface of the enzyme, exposed to water? Why?
Answer:
Stronger; a hydrophobic has lower dielectric constant. The lower the dielectric constant of the interior, the stronger the ionic interactions.
Explanation:
Ionic interactions are the electrostatic interactions between the oppositely charged ions. The strength of ionic interaction depends on the magnitude of the charges on the ions, the distance between the charged groups and the dielectric constant.
Here, the dielectric constant is the property of the medium in which the ionic interactions are taking place. Dielectric constant represents the number of dipoles present in the medium or solvent. A medium with higher dielectric constant would attract the oppositely charged ions towards its own dipole and would thereby, make the ionic interaction between the ions weaker.
Given that the ionic bonding between substrate and enzyme is taking place in the hydrophobic interior, ionic interactions would be stronger since the hydrophobic medium has a lower dielectric constant.
The lower number of the electric dipoles or their absence in the hydrophobic interior would not attract the oppositely charged groups of substrate and enzyme towards its own dipoles as the water with higher dielectric constant would have done. This would allow stronger ionic interaction between the substrate and the enzyme.
Repeating the pertinent parts of the secondary assessment while reassessing the patient primarily means: A. obtaining a complete history of the present illness with OPQRST. B. going through the full SAMPLE history again. C. focusing on questions relatinged to changes in symptoms and repeating the physical exam related to the patient's specific complaint or injuries. D. performing a rapid trauma assessment.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
The secondary assessment is done after the completion of the primary assessment. During this assessment, the clinician goes through head-to-toe and through step by step to determine what has happened.
This can comprise, and however, is not restricted to inspection, special tests, bony and soft tissue palpation, neurological, and circulation. Repeating the essential components of the secondary assessment while reevaluating the patient mainly signifies focusing on the queries associated with the modifications in the symptoms and repeating the physical exam associated with the particular injuries or complaints of the patient.
An organism grew well on TSA plates, a bit slower on MM1 and not at all on MM1 without glucose. The results indicate that organism is not fastidious since it __________.
Answer:
Can grow on MM1.
Explanation:
Organisms that can only grow in a media having specific nutrients included in it are called a fastidious organism, this implies that these organisms have specific nutrient requirements for their growth. MM 1 represents the minimal media which has basic nutrients present in it, however as the fastidious organisms require some particular or complex nutrients for their growth they can not grow on the minimal media. Therefore, since the organisms that are given in the question is able to grow on the minimal media MM1, this implies that it is not a fastidious organism.A mineral sample has the color, streak, hardness, and density that are characteristic of magnetite.

Suppose the genes for eye color and wing shape are both on the X chromosome (they are linked) and are known to be 68 map units apart. In a mating between a Xw+m+Xwm female and a XwmY male that produces 1000 progeny, how many recombinant progeny would you expect to observe?
Answer:
500
Explanation:
The greater the distance between two linked genes, the higher the chances of crossing over happening between them. If genes are in the same linkage group but separated by 50 or more map units, they will assort independently from each other during meiosis.
The female will produce the following gametes, each with a 1/4 proportion:
• Xʷ⁺ᵐ⁺ (parental)
• Xʷᵐ (parental)
• Xʷ⁺ᵐ (recombinant)
• Xʷᵐ⁺ (recombinant)
In an offspring of 1000 individuals, half of them are expected to be recombinant.
The maximum recombination frequency possible between 2 genes is 50%, because when a crossing over happens half the generated gametes will be parental and half will be recombinant.
Final answer:
Out of the 1000 progeny, we would expect around 500 to be recombinant.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of genetic recombination and map units.
Genetic recombination occurs when two linked genes on a chromosome exchange segments during meiosis, resulting in offspring with new combinations of alleles. The frequency of recombination between two genes is measured in map units, also known as centimorgans.
Given that the genes for eye color (Xw) and wing shape (Xm) are 68 map units apart on the X chromosome, we can expect recombination to occur in approximately 68% of the gametes produced during meiosis.
In the mating between the Xw+m+Xwm female and the XwmY male, there are two possible combinations of gametes produced by the female:
Xw+m+: containing the Xw and m+ alleles
Xwm: containing the Xw and Xm alleles
Since the XwmY male only produces one type of gamete (Xwm), all progeny resulting from this mating will have the Xwm genotype.
Now, let's calculate the expected number of recombinant progeny:
Recombinant progeny would result from the combination of the Xw+m+ female gamete (Xw+m+) and the Xwm male gamete (Xwm).
Recombinant progeny would also result from the combination of the Xwm female gamete (Xwm) and the Xw+m+ male gamete (Xw+m+).
Since both combinations involve recombination, we can consider them together.
If we assume equal probability of each type of gamete being produced, we can expect approximately 50% of the progeny to be recombinant.
So, out of the 1000 progeny, we would expect around 500 to be recombinant.

what are fluid dynamics
Answer:In physics and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids—liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids in motion).
Explanation:
Final answer:
Fluid dynamics is a pivotal branch of physics that studies the behavior of liquids and gases in motion, providing critical insights for various fields such as engineering and medicine, with principles like viscosity and incompressibility playing significant roles.
Explanation:
What are Fluid Dynamics?
Fluid dynamics is the branch of physics that studies liquids and gases in motion. It encompasses various mathematical equations and principles, such as Bernoulli's equation, to predict and understand the behavior of fluids. This field is essential because it has vast applications in engineering, medicine, and environmental studies. In engineering, fluid dynamics is critical for designing aircraft, internal combustion engines, and even for pumping oil from great depths, as seen in the Gulf of Mexico. In the biological and medical fields, it helps us understand blood flow in the human body and how fluids move within different processes. The concept of viscosity, which relates to the internal friction of a fluid, and the assumption of incompressibility in some cases, where a fluid's density remains constant, are important aspects considered in fluid dynamics.
Key Applications of Fluid Dynamics

a. Polar
b. Temperate
c. Maritime
d. Tropical
Answer:
Continental Polar
Explanation:
Air masses are given a two-part name that describes the humidity and temperature characteristics of the region where they form. The first part of an air mass’ name describes its humidity. Air masses that form over the ocean, called maritime air masses, are more humid than those that form over land, called continental air masses. The second part of the name describes the temperature of the air mass, which depends on the latitude where it formed. Air masses that form near the equator or in the tropics (equatorial or tropical air masses) are warmer than air masses that form in polar areas or uin the Arctic (polar or arctic air masses).
The word that describes humidity (maritime or continental) is paired with the word that describes temperature (equatorial, tropical, polar or arctic). For example, if an air mass forms over a tropical ocean, it is called maritime tropical. If an air mass forms over land in the far north it is called continental polar.
If you are really stressed out about an upcoming math test on Tuesday what type of stress is this? A: avoidance B:acute C:chronic D:conflict
Final answer:
The stress experienced about an upcoming math test on Tuesday is classified as acute stress (option B), which is short-term and related to specific events.
Explanation:
If you are really stressed out about an upcoming math test on Tuesday, the type of stress this represents is acute stress. Acute stress is characterized by brief focal events that can still feel overwhelming, even after the event has ended. This type of stress pertains to situations that are short-term in nature, contrary to chronic stress, which involves events persisting over an extended period. An upcoming test, therefore, fits the description of an acute stressor because it is a specific, short-lived challenge that triggers stress reactions.
Understanding acute stress is crucial for developing effective coping mechanisms. These strategies might include preparation and study, relaxation techniques, and maintaining a positive outlook to manage the stress of taking the test. Unlike chronic stress, which may require more complex interventions, acute stress situations like a math test typically can be managed with direct action and stress reduction techniques tailored to the situation.

Arrange the following in the proper sequence in which they occur during a single PCR cycle.
1. Addition of DNA nucleotides by Taq DNA polymerase.
2. Complementary base pairing between primers and target DNA.
3. Heat separation of strands of target DNA.
Answer:
The correct order is 3 - 2 - 1
Explanation:
In order for DNA replication to occur, both strands need to be separated so the polymerase can start adding nucleotides. In a PCR, this is achieved by an increase in temperature. After both strands are separated, a DNA primer binds the sequence from which the replication will start. This is because DNA polymerases need a short complementary sequence to attach to before they start replicating. Once both strands are separated and primers are paired to DNA, Taq Polymerase can start adding nucleotides to complete the cycle.
One of the limiting factors in human physical performance is the amount of oxygen that is absorbed by the muscles from the bloodstream. Accordingly, entrepreneurs have begun selling at gymnasiums and health clubs bottles of drinking water, labeled "SuperOXY," that has extra oxygen dissolved in the water. Such water would be useless in improving physical performance, however, since the only way to get oxygen into the bloodstream so that it can be absorbed by the muscles is through the lungs.
Which of the following, if true, would serve the same function in the argument as the statement in boldface?
(A) the water lost in exercising can be replaced with ordinary tap water
(B) the amount of oxygen in the blood of people who are exercising is already more than the muscle can absorb
(C) world-class athletes turn in record performance without such water
(D) frequent physical exercise increases the body’s ability to take in and use oxygen
(E) lack of oxygen is not the only factor limiting human physical performance
Answer:
(E) lack of oxygen is not the only factor limiting human physical performance
Explanation:
Oxygen is used for cellular respiration to produce ATP which is the usable energy of muscle cells.
Other factors such as cardiovascular capacity also affects performance.
Also muscles can accumulate glycogen as energy storage, endurance is partly based on the amount of glycogen your muscles hold to work for longer periods of time.
The size of your muscle matters this explains why even golf players go to gym.
A population of deer has a per capita rate of increase of 0.1 deer per year. If there are initially 300 deer in the population, and the population is growing exponentially, how many deer will be in the population after 1 year?
a) 30

The terms protozoans, yeasts, molds, algae, bacteria, and helminths refer to diverse forms of life that range from unicellular to multicellular, from prokaryotic to eukaryotic, including both photosynthetic and parasitic organisms.
Explanation:Understanding Different Types of Organisms
The diversity of life encompasses various types of organisms, each with unique structures and life processes. Protozoans, yeasts, molds, algae, bacteria, and helminths are different forms of life studied within the field of biology, and particularly in microbiology. Brushing up on their fundamental characteristics can help us determine which category they fall under.
Protozoans are generally unicellular, motile, eukaryotic organisms, which are often found in aquatic environments and soil.Yeasts are unicellular fungi that are eukaryotic, known for their role in fermentation and baking processes.Molds are typically multicellular, filamentous fungi that play a vital role in decomposition.Algae can be unicellular or multicellular, and are photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms.Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms crucial to many processes on Earth but are distinct in lacking a defined nucleus.Helminths are multicellular animals, especially parasitic worms, and are studied in microbiology due to their microscopic eggs and larval stages.In the context of the options provided, protozoans, yeasts, molds, and algae are all eukaryotic organisms, bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, and helminths are typically multicellular eukaryotic organisms. Hence, the proper categorization would depend on the group or individual characteristics being considered.
Final answer:
Microbiology studies various organisms including unicellular and multicellular algae, motile protozoa, microscopic fungi like yeasts and molds, and multicellular parasitic helminths. Bacteria, distinct from these, are unicellular prokaryotes.
Explanation:
In the field of microbiology, various organisms are studied, including algae, protozoa, fungi (yeasts and molds), and helminths. Algae can be unicellular or multicellular, and they are known for obtaining their energy through photosynthesis. Protozoa are typically unicellular eukaryotic organisms that are motile and nonphotosynthetic. Molds and yeasts represent the microscopic fungi; yeasts are unicellular and reproduce asexually, while molds are characterized by their filamentous structure and asexual reproduction through spores.
Helminths are multicellular parasitic worms, and they are included in microbiology studies due to their often microscopic eggs and larvae. By contrast, bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that reproduce by binary fission and are distinctly different from the eukaryotic organisms mentioned above. Additionally, Archaea, while not typically associated with human pathogens, are also studied within the realm of microbiology.
The passage addresses that NPY in conjunction with GnRH (but not by itself) can cause increased secretion of LH vs GnRH alone. Scientists are hopeful that NPY can be used in combination with GnRH to treat certain cases of female infertility. Individuals with a deficiency in what receptor system would be most likely to benefit from such a treatment?
A. GnRH
B. LH
C. NPY
D. LH and NPY
Answer:
The correct answer is option A, that is, GnRH.
Explanation:
The individuals with a deficiency in GnRH would be the most likely to get benefit from the treatment as NPY elevates the usual activity of GnRH in instigating the LH levels in the blood. Option B is incorrect, as NPY stimulates LH that then combines with the receptors, which are deficient. To some degree, the excess LH would have helped, however, not as much as if GnRH receptors are lacking.
Only if there is a deficiency of GnRH receptors, then the NPY would have helped the most as NPY would utilize a distinct receptor, and thus, normal levels of LH would get generated.
People with a deficiency in the GnRH receptor system would likely benefit from a treatment that uses NPY and GnRH to increase LH secretion. The GnRH receptor is vital for this treatment's efficacy.
Explanation:Individuals with a deficiency in the GnRH receptor system would most likely benefit from a treatment that uses NPY in combination with GnRH to increase the secretion of LH.
The GnRH receptor takes part in a cascade which eventually stimulates the release of LH. When NPY is used alongside GnRH, the two compounds can cause a greater secretion of LH than when GnRH is used alone.
This receptor system is therefore crucial for the efficacy of the proposed treatment.

In a large flock of 6520 sheep, 53 of them have yellow fat while the rest of the flock members have white fat. Yellow fat is inherited as a recessive trait. Assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, how many of the white fat sheep will have a homozygous dominant genotype?
Answer:
number of sheep with homozygous dominant white fat genotype = 5399
Explanation:
If p = frequency of dominant allele and q= frequency of recessive allele
According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:
p + q =1 and p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype
q²= frequency of homozygous recessive genotype
and 2pq= frequency of heterozygous genotype
Here,
q² = 53/6520= 0.0081
q = √0.0081 = 0.09
p = 1-q = 1-0.09= 0.91
So, p² = 0.91² = 0.8281
number of sheep with homozygous dominant white fat genotype= 0.8281*6520 = 5399
