Answer:

0.1460

Explanation:

Total population size= 411 + 911 + 800 = 2122

Let's assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium.

Under these conditions, frequency of recessive allele (a)= 911 x 2 + 800 / 2122 x 2   = 2622/4244= 0.6178 .

This is because each homozygous recessive genotype has two copies of the recessive allele while each heterozygous dominant genotype has one copy of the recessive allele.  

For this population to be under Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, frequency of dominant allele (A) = 1- 0.6178= 0.3822

Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (AA) = 0.1460

Which feature is
Yanka [14]

Answer:

C. Coupled reactions establish an electrochemical gradient across a membrane.

Explanation:

  • During cellular respiration in mitochondria, and during photosynthesis in chloroplasts, the electron transport chain requires a proton gradient to pump protons across the membrane by active transport.
  • Protons flow back across the membrane by facilitated diffusion through ATP synthase, which utilizes them to phosphorylate ADP to ATP.
  • This process of ATP synthesis by harnessing the elctrochemicaal gradient geenrated by the diffusion of protons across the biological membrane through ATP synthase is called chemiosmosis.

Arrange the events in the correct order to describe how the magnetic field forms around Earth.
horsena [70]
The correct sequence of events is : C,D,B,A.
Iron rich magma in the earth's core heats up because of radiation and the pressure exerted by the other layers of the earth. This heat in the crust trigger convection currents in the mantle. The magma closest to the core will be hotter and therefore less dense than other layers. Being less dense the layer will rise towards the crust, eventually becoming cooler and sinking back down in a circular motion.
The continued circular motion creates electric currents which then generates the magnetic field.

Que es la evolución ?
Jet001 [13]

Explanation:

Evolution involves changing the hereditary characteristics of a population through generations. These traits are the expression of genes that are passed on to offspring during reproduction.
