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 %

Clouds form when the water vapor in air condenses as
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. For this to happen, the parcel of air must be saturated, i.e. unable to hold all the water it contains in vapor form, so it starts to condense into a liquid or solid form.

2. In order for the lagging strand to elongate during DNA replication, it must
devlian [24]

Answer:B) progress towards the replication fork.

Explanation:

Replication fork is a point on the parental DNA where the DNA is being unwound and separated; and the separated strands are being replicated. Synthesis of a new DNA strand occurs in a 5' -> 3' direction, as the DNA strand serving as the template is read from its 3' -> 5' direction. During replication, two strands of DNA are synthesized: The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the same direction as the replication fork movement while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the direction opposite to the direction of fork movement, that is, towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is synthesized in short fragments known as Okazaki fragments.
