Stubble bristles (Sb) is dominant to wildtype bristles (Sb+) in Drosophila melanogaster. In a population where there are 137 flies with wildtype bristles and 836 flies with stubble bristles, what are the allele frequencies for the Sb and Sb+ alleles (assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium)? Please calculated your answers to 3 decimal places.
f(Sb)=
f(Sb+)=
If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of the population would you expect to be heterozygous?

Using affinity chromatography, you have attempted to purify an enzyme as a fusion protein that was expressed in E. coli. SDS-PAGE analysis shows that the eluted sample contains the enzyme and it appears to be very pure.
Briefly describe, in general terms, a method you could use to determine the concentration of the enzyme in the eluted sample. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of your approach.
