Frequency of allele a1 is 75%, p=0.75
Frequency of allele a2 is 25%, q=0.25
 If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium then:
p2+2pq+q2=1
<span>p2  is the frequency of genotype a1a1 (homozygous),</span>
2pq is the frequency of genotype a1a2 (heterozygous),
q2 is the frequency of genotype a2a2
<span>The proportion of individuals with genotype a1a2 is then 2*0.75*0.25=0.375 (37.5%).</span>

Would a mutation in a red blood cell be passed on to offspring? Explain your answer.
Artist 52 [7]
Mutations acquired by somatic cells are generally only retained by the individual they acquire in as there is no vector by which to transmit the mutation. 

<span>Between generations, the only mutations that may be transmitted are those already acquired from a parent, and those that occur within the individuals own germ cells. If mutations in the germ cells result in sperm or eggs that contain that mutation, then they may be transmitted to their offspring. </span>

<span>Red blood cells in all humans and other mammals, though, don't contain nuclear DNA and as such cannot acquire mutations.</span>

irakobra [83]

Correct answer: C) Only in a narrow range of temperature and pH

Homeostasis is defined as the ability of the body to regulate temperature and internal conditions even when there is a change in the external environment. Homeostasis is important for the survival of life because the cells of all the organism can function well only in a limited range of temperature and pH.

All the cells of the body use enzymes for proper function, and the enzymes can only function under a limited range of temperature and pH. In extreme conditions of cold or heat enzymes will not be able to function properly and lead to the death of the cell.
