Answer:

True

Explanation:

The linkage relation of two genes can be determined on the basis of calculating recombination frequency.

If the recombination frequency value is greater than 50% then the genes are not linked and if the value is less than 50% then the genes are linked.

In the given question, the  crossover gametes formed will be Ab = 100

and aB= 106.

Therefore,

\dfrac{recombinant\ progenies}{ Total\ progeny}\times 100\\\\\dfrac{100 +106}{100+106+45+50}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{206}{301}\times 100\\\\= 68.43\%

Since the recombinant frequency value is larger than 50% therefore the genes do not show linkage.

Thus, True is the correct answer.

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:

Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>

. If a person comes in contact with this same virus years later, what does our body produce to get rid of or kill the virus
borishaifa [10]

If a person comes in contact with this same virus years later, our body produces antibodies to get rid of or kill the virus

Explanation:

When a person is infected by a virus, the infected person's body develops antibodies as an immune response to act against the virus. Antibodies are produced as part of humoral immunity.

Antibodies work by neutralizing the viral activity, agglutination,  phagocytosis or by complement system.

Antibodies are protein compounds which can recognize the invading pathogens and attack them.

Antigens or viral proteins in the virus leads to the production of antibodies in the host's body.

The specific antibodies triggers innate immune response upon detecting specific viral antigens when infected and will help the body to get rid of  or kill the virus.
