Are viruses alive? This question is debated among scientists throughout the world. Consider the following passage. Scientific re

searchers discovered agents that behaved like bacteria causing diseases such as rabies and hoof-and-mouth, but were much smaller. At this time it became the general view that viruses were biologically "alive." This perception changed in 1935 when the tobacco mosaic virus was crystallized and scientists demonstrated that the particles lacked any mechanisms necessary for metabolic function. It was determined that viruses consisted of a nucleic acid, DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein shell and the scientific view changed: viruses are complex biochemical mechanisms but not alive. According to the passage, the MOST IMPORTANT evidence supporting the opinion that viruses are not alive is that they A) cause disease. B) contain DNA or RNA. C) are much smaller than bacteria. D) do not have a cellular structure.

1. In a population of 200 field mice, 98 mice are homozygous dominant for brown fur (FF), 84 mice are heterozygous (Ff), and 18
iVinArrow [24]
A.
The genotype frequencies can be determined by dividing the number of individuals with a genotype by the total number all the individuals. 
FF genotype frequency:
98÷200=0,49. There are approximately 5 <span>homozygous dominant mice in 10.
Ff genotype frequency:
84</span>÷200=0,42. There are approximately 4 <span>heterozygous mice in 10.
ff genotype frequency:
18</span>÷200=0,09. There are approximately 1 <span>homozygous recessive mouse in 10.

B.
To determine the frequency of an allele we can divide the number of times that the allele appears by the total number of alleles.
F allele frequency:
</span>\frac{(98*2)+84}{400}<span>=0.7
There are 7 F alleles in 10 random alleles.
f </span>allele frequency:
\frac{84+(18*2)}{400}=0.3
There are 3 f alleles in 10 random alleles.<span>
