Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %

Answer:

There are Five main compounds but our body need carbohydrate and protein more.

Explanation:

There are five major organic compounds that our body needs for normal metabolic processes. These are- Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and high energy compounds. organic compounds are involved in almost all biochemical activities that is related to metabolism. The organic compounds always contain carbon.  Carbs act as the source of energy to the body. They converted to glucose, which used in cellular respiration. Lipids act as  fatty acids. Proteins have a structural function like keratin in skin and hair. Nucleic acids are large organic compounds that store and process information at the molecular level inside the body cells. High energy compounds like ATP serves as a source of cellular energy.
