The frequency of RR is found by squaring the frequency of R. The answer is about .72 or 72 %

Answer:

Frequency of the RR genotype = 72.25

Explanation:

Here Hardy Weinberg's equation would be applicable as it is assumed that evolution is not occurring.

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation, the frequency of recessive allele is represented by "q"

Here, q = 0.15

And the frequency of dominant allele is represented by "p"

Here, p = 0.85

So the frequency of the RR genotype, i,e the homozygous dominant genotype is represented by

p^{2} = 0.85^2\\= 0.7225\\= 72.25

Hepatitis C as of 2022 has a infection rate of 3.7 million.

Hepatitis B as of 2022 has a infection rate of 2.2 million, or <em>1.5 million</em> lower than Hepatitis C.

In fetal circulation, the __________ bypasses the liver and the __________ bypasses the lungs. ligamentum venosum; ligamentum ar
pochemuha
In fetal circulation, the ductus venosus bypasses the liver and the ductus arteriousus bypasses the lungs. Ductus arteriosus also called ductus botalli is a blood vessel connecting the main pulmonary artery to the  proximal ascending aorta. It does allow most of the blood from right ventricle to bypass the fetus's fluid-filled non-functioning lungs. Ductus venosus on the hand allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Transpiration is loss of water from the surface of leaves in the form of water vapour while guttation is exudation of water from the surface of leaves in the form of drops. Transpiration takes place through stomata while guttation takes place through hydathodes.

Guttation usually occurs at the margins and the tips of the leaves. Transpiration occurs throughout the general surface of the leaves and the young stems.
