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

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The disease hemophilia is caused by a single gene that is located on the X chromosome. Because human females have two X chromosomes (XX), they have two copies of this gene. Since hemophilia is recessive (h), a female must have two copies of the recessive allele to have the disease.

Describe a way people are connected to other living things and nonliving things on earth
Dmitriy789 [7]
People are connected to other living things such as trees and plants. Humans breathe in the oxygen the plants produce. People are connected to non living things such as stool from animals. Worms decompose the animals stool which makes the dirt richer. Humans use that rich dirt to grow plants that we consume for fuel.
