Lysozymes are under the enzymes-functional class of proteins. Enzymes are the ones responsible for the acceleration of chemical reactions. These are the macromolecular biological catalysts. <span> When we say enzymes, these are proteins which are directly related to the facilitation of the biochemical reactions. These include lactase and pepsin. You can usually hear these when learning about specialty diets or digestive medical conditions. Some of the examples of this protein’s presence are found in tears, human milk, saliva, and mucus. It is because of their ability to break down bacterial cell walls in order to protein improvement and nucleic extraction of efficiency make these lysozymes important </span>proteins<span> in living organisms. The gene responsible for the encoding of the lyzozome enzyme is called the LYZ gene.</span>

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

In population genetics, the Hardy-Weinberg Principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors are active and no mutations occur.

The frequencies of the genotypes of an individual locus will be set to a particular equilibrium value.<u> It also specifies that these equilibrium frequencies can be represented as a simple function of the allelic frequencies at that locus</u>. In the simplest case, with a locus with two alleles A and a, with allele frequencies of p and q respectively, the principle predicts that <u>the genotypic frequency for the dominant homozygous AA is p^2, that of the heterozygous Aa is 2pq and that of the recessive homozygous aa, is q^2. The allele frequency of a is represented as p and the frequency of recessive allele is q.</u>

The three genotypes AA : Aa : aa appear in a ratio p² : 2pq : q². If we add them up, we get the unit:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = (p + q)^2 = 1  

And p + q = 1

<u>Rh-positive genotypes are represented as AA (homozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous) since the presence of a single dominant allele is sufficient to express the phenotype. While Rh-negative genotypes are represented as aa. </u>

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that this percentage includes all those who are AA and Aa. Then 16% are aa.

F(aa)=q^2=0.16

then F(a)=q=0.4

And since p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, then p is 0.6

We can also calculate the rest, then F(AA)=p^2= 0.36

So F(Aa)= 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48

Notice that 0.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1
