The correct answer would be D) An observation that has a number associated with it.
Answer:
a) p=0.665
b) q=0.335
c) 2pq=0.445
d) (0.665^2)+(0.335^2)+(2*0.665*0.335)=1
Explanation:
For solve this exercise I will use the Hardy-Weinberg principle. We have the following:
a) and b)
number of purple flowers=142
number of white flowers=18
total number of flowers=160
frequency of white flowers=q^2=18/160=0.112
q=0.335
if
p+q=1
Clearing p:
p=1-0.335=0.665
c) the heterozygous is 2pq:
frequency of heterozygous allele: 2pq=2*0.665*0.335=0.445
d) p^2+2pq+q^2=1
(0.665^2)+(0.335^2)+(2*0.665*0.335)=1
Answer: Option C) A sentence in the instruction book
Explanation:
A gene is a specific portion on the DNA that code for a functional protein. i.e DNA consists of several genes, and some non-coding sequences that are usually spliced off during post-translational modification.
In other words, a gene can be best described as each single, meaningful sentence in the instruction book for building an organism.
