13. Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: R (dominant) and r (recessive). If the frequency of

the r allele is 15%, and the frequency of the R allele is 85%, what will be the frequency of the RR genotype, assuming evolution is not occurring?

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

What is the difference between rRNA, tRNA, mRNA and codon,anticodon
Eddi Din [679]
MRNA, is used to transcript DNA codes from DNA molecules and then later exits the nucleus via nuclear pore, then moves to the ribosome. Then, tRNA is activated to bring specific amino acid to the ribosome for translation. Ribosome, which is the site of synthesis of proteins, is composed of rRNA and ribosomal proteins.
A codon is a three-base sequence (three nitrogen bases in a row) on mRNA. An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. It matches the codon.

What is the function of a circulatory system? a) It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body. b)
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body.

Explanation:

The circulatory system helps in bringing the blood which is a transport liquid in close contact with the cells present in our body. This helps in gas exchange between cells and blood. The circulation of blood in the body occurs by the pumping of blood by the heart into arteries, veins, and capillaries.

This circulation of blood plays many other vital functions like transport of nutrients to the cells, transport of waste products from the cell to outside the body, transport of hormones, maintenance of body temperature, etc.  

So all these processes become possible when transport liquid comes in contact with the cells. Therefore the right answer is a.
