The frequency of the recessive allele for the left handle will be in this case equal to q^2 = 0.25 >> q = 0.5.

<h3>What is the Hardy Weinberg principle?</h3>

The Hardy Weinberg principle is a model used in population genetics to estimate genotypic and allele frequencies.

The Hardy Weinberg principle states that the sum of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in a population is equal to 1 (p + q = 1).

This principle also states p2 + q2 + 2pq = 1, where p^2 is the dominant homo-zygous allele, 2pq the heterozygous frequency and  q^2 the recessive homo-zygous frequency.

In this case, 9 individuals represent 25% (q^2 = 0.25), thereby the feecuency of q is equal to √0.25 = 0.5.

<span>A human body is composed of muscles. Without it, the human body cannot function and will die. </span>

There are three types of muscle tissues: Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle, and Smooth muscle.

The skeletal muscle aids in the movement of the human skeleton. The 600 skeletal muscles make up 40 % of our body weight and are reliant on the signals released by our nervous system to start moving.

<span>Cardiac muscles are those muscles which encloses our hearts. They are involuntary muscles which pumps blood throughout our bodies by creating steady and rythmic pulsing. They also make our heart contract by producing electrical impulses. </span>

<span>Smooth muscles are found in the walls of blood vessels, respiratory passageways, and hollow organs. Its contracting movement is wavelike and it helps in the transfer of food through our stomachs or urine through our bladder. </span>

<span>These muscles responds to nerve impulses and other stimuli.</span>

Answer:

Veins

1l carry blood from tissue of the body to the heart

4) collapse if blood flow stops

arteries

1) carry blood back away from the heart to the tissue of the body.

2) found deeper within the body

3) are more muscular then veins

4) would generally remain open even if blood stops because of it's muscular structure.
