According to Hardy- Weinberg principle, if the frequency of one allele in a population with two alleles is 0.7 at a particular locus, then the frequency of alternate allele is 0.3.

<h3>What is Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium?</h3>
  • Hardy- Weinberg rule states that in the absence of disturbing factors, the genetic variability in a population remains constant in different generations.
  • It states that when mating is random both the genotypic and allelic frequencies remain constant as they are in equilibrium.
  • Hardy- Weinberg rule applies to a large population where mating is random and there is no migration.
  • It is given by p + q = 1, where p is the frequency of dominant allele in the population, q is the frequency of recessive allele in the population.
  • By squaring, p2+ 2pq+ q2= 1, where p2 is percentage of homozygous dominant individuals, q2 is percentage of homozygous recessive individuals. 2pq is percentage of heterozygous individuals.
  • Here given, p= 0.7, therefore q= 1- 0.7= 0.3

if an element has a half-life of 30 million years and there is 12.5% of it remaining in a rock, how old is that rock
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. However, after two half-lives, half of the half remaining will decay, leaving you with one quarter of the original substance.

So, after 1 million years you will have 50% of the original substance remaining.

And, after 2 million years you will have 25% of the original substance remaining.

After 3 million years you will have 12.5% of the original substance remaining.

And after 4 million years you will have 6.25% of the original substance remaining.

B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence

D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene

E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.

D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.
