The frequency of carriers of the albino allele in the
population is. If
To solve this problem, we need to consider the Hardy-Weinberg
equation which is the following:
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
where: p = frequency
of the "A" allele
q = frequency of the "a"
allele
In other words, p^2 refers to the frequency of the
homozygous(dominant) genotype AA, q^2 represents the frequency of the
homozygous(recessive) genotype aa, and 2pq represents the frequency of the
heterozygous genotype.
In the problem, if q = 0.01, and p = 0.99, then the
frequency of carriers is 2pq which then becomes 0.0099 x 2. Thus, the predicted
frequency of Caucasians in the U.S. who carry a single albino allele is 0.0198.
Answer:
there is no clear explanation why some people become violent while sleepwalking
Explanation:
Sleepwalkers who are suffering from stress, sleep deprivation, and depression do seem more susceptible to experiencing violent episodes than others, but there is no medical proof that negative emotions result in homicidal sleepwalking.

Meiosis a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
The Miller-Urey experiment is important because this was considered as the breakthrough in the study of origin of life, as to where and how exactly life began on earth and that it was possible to form organic molecules from inorganic molecules.
