Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

Answer:

Could RNA have provided a template for DNA assembly, thereby enabling a more stable molecule that is replicated more accurately?

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the question that would best bring about investigation onto this hypothesis would be "Could RNA have provided a template for DNA assembly, thereby enabling a more stable molecule that is replicated more accurately?" as it brings up the most important topic, of how could RNA have developed into DNA?

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis as the intensity of light or concentration of CO2 increases? And How is your conclusi
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The rate of photosynthesis increases the intensity of light or concentration of CO2 increases, however, at a certain temperature, the rate can decrease due to enzyme denaturation.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique metabolic process specific to only some organisms. The photosynthetic process, however, cannot occur without some vital ingredients including light, Carbon dioxide (CO2) and optimum temperature.

An increase in the concentration of light (from sun) and CO2 (from atmosphere) increases the rate at which photosynthesis occurs i.e. more light, CO2 results in more photosynthetic process. However, an increase in TEMPERATURE also increases the photosynthetic rate but at a particular temperature, the enzymes that bring about the photosynthetic process can be denatured or damaged, hence, at an EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE, photosynthesis can be inhibited.
