The cells in a sexually reproducing organism's body may be classified as somatic, those that do not participate in reproduction, and gametogenic cells, which participate in reproduction.
Somatic cells create genetically identical daughter cells through the process of mitosis. Therefore, this mutation will pass the mutation to its two daughter cells after mitosis.

Leaves need to be elevated so they are exposed so they are exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis. Which part of the stem grows
Varvara68 [4.7K]
<span>A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. The stem is normally divided into nodes and internodes. The nodes hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, conifer cones, roots, other stems, or flowers (inflorescences); the internodes distance one node from another.</span>

Black coat color in horses is conferred by the presence of a dominant B allele. Chestnut horses are genotype bb. A population of
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Frequency of B allele is 0.6681

Explanation:

If p represents the frequency of dominant allele and q represents the frequency of  recessive allele, according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Given that number of recessive chestnut horse = 28

Total horses = 226 + 28 = 254

frequency of b² genotype = 28/254 = 0.1102

frequency of recessive b allele = √0.1102 = 0.3319

So, frequency of B allele =

1 - 0.3319 = 0.6681

Hence frequency of B allele is 0.6681
