In chickens, a flat single comb is a recessive trait, while the short, thick rose comb is dominant. in a particular population of chickens, 45 are homozygous for the dominant trait, 30 are heterozygous dominant, and 25 have the recessive trait. which expression is the correct way to calculate the frequency of the recessive allele?

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows:p² + 2pq + q² = 1

Where p is the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype, q is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype and 2pq is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype. Using the 2pq term here,

Frequency of heterozygous = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3

There fore, the answer is 2 x (0.70) x (0.30)

The correct answer would be 0.5

The same can be explained with the help of Hardy-Weinberg equation

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

p + q = 1 Where,

p refers to the frequency of a dominant allele in a population.q refers to the frequency of a recessive allele in a population.P² refers to the frequency of homozygous dominant trait.q² refers to the frequency of homozgous recessive trait.2pq refers to the frequency of heterozygous dominant trait.

Total number of individuals = 45 + 30+ 25 = 100

So, the frequency of recessive trait = 25/100 =0.25.

Thus, the value of q² = 0.25

So, q would be equal to square root of 0.25 which comes out to be 0.5

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
