The Hardy-Weinberg equation is:

$p^{2} +2pq+q^{2}=1$

where p generally represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant population.

The q usually represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive population, and the 2pq term represents the frequency of the heterozygous population.

Answer:

"p" represents the allele frequency of dominant homozygous (AA) individuals.

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg principle establishes that, for a given pair of alleles with frequencies p and q, in a balanced Mendelian population, the frequency of the different genotypes in each generation will be in accordance with the expression p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1.

In this equation "p" represents the allele frequency of dominant homoxygote individuals (AA), "pq" represents the allele frequency of heterozygous individuals (Aa), "q" represents the allele frequency of individual recessive homozygotes (aa).

Basal metabolism is the largest component of total energy expenditure. True or False

irina1246 [14]

Answer: True

Explanation: The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is responsible for about 75% of our calorie expenditure daily. The Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy expenditure rate per unit time by humans or animals at rest. it is the amount of energy per unit of time that we need to keep the body functioning daily even when at rest. Some of these processes that occur even when we are at rest includes blood circulation, brain function, regulation of body temperature, nerve function, cell growth and breathing.

We would expect that a 15-nucleotide sequence that includes a stop codon at the end (as part of the 15-nucleotide sequence) will

slega [8]

Answer: Four amino acids.

Explanation:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides. Thus, a nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids and consists of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) linked to a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases can be Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) or Uracil (U) replacing T in RNA. DNA is the molecule that stores the genetic information to synthesize polypeptides or proteins (set of amino acids). When proteins need to be created, DNA is transcribed into RNA and this RNA is translated in ribosomes to create polypeptides.

Complementarity is the ability to combine with their complement. A and T (or U) are complementary, while C and G are complementary to each other. Complementarity is the principle of replication and transcription, because it is a propery of both DNA and RNA sequences. Their the nucleotide bases at each position of the sequences are complementary, allowing cells to copy information.

Nucleotides in RNA are grouped into codons, which consist of groups of 3 nucleotides where each codon codes for an amino acid. Therefore, the sequence of bases in nucleic acids determines which protein will be synthesized. Protein synthesis begins with a start codon (AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine) and ends with a stop codon (UGA, UAG and UAA). So, if there are 15 nucleotides, there are 15 bases. Since they are grouped in groups of 3, we will have a polypeptide of 4 amino acids.

3 nucleotides form a codon, so 12 nucleotides form 4 codons giving 4 amino acids. The last codon, is formed by the last 3 nucleotides and form the stop codon that stop protein synthesis.

In guinea pigs the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for brown fur (b), and the allele for short fur (F) is d

galben [10]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs; one coding for fur color and the other for fur length. The alleles of black fur (B) and short fur (F) is dominant over the alleles for brown fur (b) and long fur (f).

In a cross between two offsprings with genotypes: BBFF x bbff, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

BBFF - BF, BF, BF, and BF

bbff - bf, bf, bf, bf

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), one will notice that all of the offsprings will have the genotype: BbFf i.e all or 100% of the offsprings are heterozygous for both of the genes or traits.
