The evolution of molecular biology has made possible to establish a new classification of all organisms according to their DNA, and it's called phylogenetic classification.This classification groups living beings according to their kinship, established according to anatomical, physiological and behavioral criteria and especially genetic, based on the similarity of genes between species.
This made it possible to discover kinship ties between species of which there is no suspicion of any morphological link between them, something which the old classification (the traditional classification) was incapable of doing (and this proves the importance of the DNA and genes in organisms classification.

3. In one population, 18 individuals have long hair and 182 individuals have short hair. It is known thatmating has been random
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09

Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.

For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l

So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.

To calculate the frequencies:

Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)

p = 182/200 = 0.91

The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:

q = 18/200 = 0.09

Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.

What will happen in an electrical current flow through a wire?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

When current flows through a conductor such as a copper wire, all of those electrons that were previously moving about randomly get together and start moving in the same direction. A very interesting effect then happens: The electrons transfer their electromagnetic force through the wire almost instantaneously.
