Another difference would be that DNA contains the 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose while RNA usually contains the 5 carbon sugar of ribose. One differs from the other, as ribose has an additional hydroxyl group bonded to one of the carbon atoms, where as deoxyribose does not.
Answer:
d.0.48
Explanation:
When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:
freq (AA) = p²
freq (Aa) = 2pq
freq (aa) = q²
<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.
In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.
Therefore:
q²=16/100
q² = 0.16
q=√0.16
q = 0.4
And p+q=1, so:
p = 1 - q
p = 1-0.4
p = 0.6
The frequency of heterozygotes is:
freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6
freq (Aa) = 0.48
Mutation is random because there is really no way of knowing whether a child will inherit it, whereas natural selection is predisposed in either parent.
Answer:
D. student 4
Explanation:
I personally find this question slightly bewildering. It does definitely make you think. I decided your best answer choice would be D, because a dog wouldn't always be there, or the weeds.
