1. If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A and 10% a, what is the frequency of individuals in the population wit
Illusion [34]

Answer: 0.18

Explanation:

For the alleles, the percentage distribution of each is 'A' (90% = 0.9)

While 'a' (10% = 0.1)

Hence, 0.9 and 0.1 are the respective frequencies of each allele

Now, apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation, where heterozygotes are represented by the 2pq term.

Therefore, the number of heterozygous individuals (Aa) is equal to 2pq which equals

2 × 0.9 × 0.1 = 0.18

Thus, the frequency of heterozygote is 0.18, while the percentage distribution in the population is 18%

justify the following statement “thinking and new ideas advance science, not just the design of instruments” please help
Anna [14]

Answer:

Designing some instruments does help science, but it doesn't advance ideologies of science.

Explanation:

Science is based on theories and laws. Scientists are constantly trying to explain the concepts of the universe by ideas. Sure, instruments do help scientists gather information and such, but ideas and philosophies, theories and laws are the ones that are most important. Without new ideas in science, we would not be able to hypothesize many things, or even develop new instruments.
