[In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg

equilibrium, the frequency of a particular

recessive allele is 0.4. What is the

percentage of the population that is

heterozygous for this allele?]P2 +2pq + q2 = 1

A. [4%]

B. [16%]

C. [32%]

D. [48%]

E. [64%]

P2 +2pq + q2 = 1

OR

p+q =1…

Question gives you q. Frequency is 0.4 for the recessive. The dominant is therefore 0.6… (Because p+q=1 is part of the equation…)

Since hybrid = 2pq, answer is 2*.6*.4 =48%

[If homozygous recessive is 16% of the

total population, how many are

homozygous dominant?]

q2 =16%, or .16, so q = .4If q = .4, then p = .6

C. [36%]

2 types of circulatory systems1. Open circulatory system:

Blood is pumped by heart into open body cavities where it surrounds the organs.

ex: Arthropods, Molluscsex: Arthropods, Molluscs

1. Closed circulatory system:

Blood is pumped by heart through vessels to all parts of the body, and oxygen and nutrients diffuse across the membranes.

ex: Annelids, Chordates
