A researcher is studying the color of grasshopper exoskeletons. Assume that this phenotype is caused by the action of two allele

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

Allele frequency reveals to us how frequent an allele is within a population.

It is estimated by numbering the amount of times of it occurrences divided by the overall amount of copies of the gene.

Mathematically:

Allele Frequency,

= amount of times the allele occurs

____________________________

overall amount of copies of the gene.

The alleles frequency of a gene within a population is 1.

Let's recall the hardy Weinberg equation

p + q = 1

Where,

p = the frequency of dominant allele

q = the frequency of recessive allele.

Given,

Frequency of dominant allele (green color), p = 0.2

Frequency of recessive allele, q = ?

P + q = 1

0.2 + q = 1

q = 1 - 0.2

q = 0.8

4. Which pathway represents the flow of electrons during photosynthesis? (1 point) A.) H2O &gt; Photosystem I &gt; Photosystem I
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

4. The correct pathway for the flow of electron during photosynthesis is mentioned in option D. H_{2}O > <em>NADP </em>> <em>Calvin cycle.</em>

  • Electron is first provided to the photo-system II by the phtolysis of water.
  • Then it is passed to photo-system I with the help of plastoquinone (PQ) and cytochrome b_{6}f.
  • Finally, electron from the photo-system II is used to reduce NADP to NADPH.
  • NADPH and ATP are used in light independent phase or Calvin cycle to synthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide.

5. The correct answer is B.) photosynthesis.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize glucose or carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • In light independent phase of photosynthesis, it requires ATP and NADPH  in order to synthesize food.
  • Lastly, oxidation or breaking down of glucose releases energy and photosynthesis is a anabolic process instead of catabolic one.
