Assume that there are only two alleles at a given locus in a population, and the population is in h-w equilibrium. if the frequency of one allele is 0.6, what is the frequency of heterozygotes in the populationa. -0.6.
b. 0
c. 0.4
d. 0.6
e. 1

Frequency of heterozygotes in the population is 0.4.

C. 0.4

Explanation:

If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the frequencies of the two alleles will be equal to 1.  The letter p denotes the frequency of the first allele and the letter q denotes the frequency of the second allele.  

p+q=1

In the problem it is given that p=0.6

p+q=1

0.6+q =1  

q= 1-0.6

=0.4

We have to calculate the frequency of heterozygotes in the population. it is given by the equation

Number of heterozygous individuals =2pq

=

=0.48~0.4

correct answer: understand the different control methods available

integrated pest management is an strategy that is based on the ecosystem and try to prevent the pest and the damage caused by them by applying combination of technique like habitat manipulation, biological control and use of resistant varieties.

the main aim of the integrated pest management is not to completely eliminate the pest but to strengthen the ecosystem so that conditions are favorable for plants and unfavorable for pests.

1. efficient use of space

2. elimination of groundwater contamination

3. energy generation

4. lower carbon footprint
