Answer:

0.483

Explanation:

The given population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the gene has two alleles, the sum total of the frequencies of these two alleles will be one.  

Therefore, the total of the frequency of allele B and frequency of allele b will be 1. f(B) + f(b)=1

If the frequency of allele "B" is 0.59, then the frequency of allele "b" will be=1-0.59= 0.41

The frequency of heterozygous genotype in the population= 2pq

p= frequency of the dominant allele

q= frequency of the recessive allele

So, 2pq= 2 x 0.59 x 0.41 = 0.483

What analogy can you create that compares to the structure of all four major macromolecules?
skad [1K]
Basically, macro molecules  fall into four classes;
The lipids
The carbohydrates
The proteins
The nucleic acids
 The fact that their role revolve around energy production by carbohydrates, energy storage and insulation by lipids, storage of genetic material by nucleic acids and structural support by proteins means this can be equated to the executive arm of the government that deals in provision of social amenity, protection,  creation of job opportunities and sustaining a country's culture.

What is the process that leads to a stronger response from cells that detect the edge of a surface than from cells that detect t
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Lateral inhibition.

Explanation:

Lateral inhibition may be defined as the ability of an excited neuron to reduce or decrease the activity of ts side by or neighbor's neuron. The sensory [perception is increased during lateral inhibition.

The stronger response is detected at the surface edge rather than on the cell's middle surface. The excited neurons move in the lateral direction and decreases the activity of the middle or neighbor neurons.

Thus, the answer is lateral inhibition.
