In sheep, white vs yellow body fat is determined by a single pair of autosomal alleles. in a large, randomly mating flock, 23 percent of the sheep have white fat and 77 percent have yellow fat. you may conclude from this data that:
a. the allele for yellow is dominant to white
b. the allele for white is dominant to yellow
c. the alleles for yellow and white are codominant
d. the alleles for white and yellow are in a hardy-weinberg equilibrium
e. none of the above are valid conclusions

Option A , The allele for yellow is dominant to white

Explanation:

It is given that 23 percent of the sheep have white fat and 77 percent have yellow fat.

Thus, it is clear that sheeps with yellow fat is a dominant characteristics.

Usually, the frequency of homozygous recessive allele in a given population is represented by  

and here

Frequency of allele for white fat

While frequency of homozygous dominant allele and heterozygous dominant allele is represented by

And here

Allele for yellow fat

Hence, option A is correct.

explanation:

mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. the cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

characterization of nanoparticles is a critical step in nanomaterial production as it provides information of dimension, morphology, surface charge, distribution and degree of surface functionalization.
