In a population of rabbits, f (C1)(C1) = 0.28 and f (C2)(C2) = 0.72. The alleles exhibit an incomplete dominance relationship in which C1C1C1C1 produces black rabbits, C1C2C1C2 tan-colored rabbits, and C2C2C2C2 rabbits with white fur. If the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle apply to the rabbit population, what are the expected frequencies of: Part A black rabbits. Express your answer using two decimal places.

0.08

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in absence of an evolutionary force allele frequencies in a population remain constant. In case of polyploid organisms, the formula for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is :

(p+q)^c = 1  where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

c = ploidy number

Here, the ploidy number is 4 since there are four chromosomes at a locus instead of the usual two.

f(C1)(C1) = 0.28

f(C2)(C2) = 0.72

Black rabbits = C1C1C1C1

Frequency of black rabbits= f(C1)(C1)*f(C1)(C1)

= 0.28 * 0.28

= 0.0784

= 0.08

these macromolecules could either be amino acids, proteins or nucleic acids. they are responsible for the chemical changes and reactions that affects largely the cell and its composition. take for instance the cytoplasm of the cell where these organelles are settled. these simple organelles are composed of macromolecules which ignites and catalyses different functions that enables cells, in macro-perspective in motion and metabolism. in intestines for example, metabolism happens and breaking down parts of a food to simpler compounds that are used and these nutrients delivered throughout the body and again broken down by into smaller components.
