Answer:

B. 0.42

Explanation:

Since the two alleles are at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the frequency of two alleles will be one. If the frequency of a dominant allele is "p" and that of the recessive allele is "q", then p+q=1

According to the given information, the frequency of one allele in the population is= 0.7

This means that the frequency of the other allele would be= 1-0.7 = 0.3

Frequency of heterozygote in the population =2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42

In 3-5 sentences write a description of how the 4 terms, DNA, chromosomes, genes and traits, are related and/or work together to
wel

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Deoxyribosenucleic acid, commonly called DNA is the stored form of genetic material in living cells. It contains the information needed by an organism to survive. A segment of the DNA that encodes the necessary information needed to produce a particular protein that determines a trait is called GENE.

The DNA consists of long polynucleotide chains, hence, due to Its length, it cannot git into the cell. The cell then devises a means by wrapping the long strands of DNA around certain proteins called HISTONES. This initially forms a NUCLEOSOME structure, then continuous wrapping around histones and condensation forms the visible CHROMOSOME structure.

Now, the CHROMOSOME contains the DNA molecule, which contains protein-coding segments called GENES. The information contained on the gene is used to produce a protein that is responsible for a particular TRAIT in the organism.

The normal value of a hormone in a species is typically 10-20 units per ml of blood. A test is conducted three times, on an indi
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Due to genetic defects, a family history of hormone imbalances, or certain diseases.

Explanation:

According to the data, the blood is deficient in hormones which is due to a number of factors such as genetic defects, a family history of hormone imbalances, or certain diseases etc. The normal person has  10-20 units of hormones per ml of blood in their body, if the body has low in hormones the body does not perform its function properly that leads to certain diseases such as obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease so we can say that genetic defects, hormone imbalances, or certain diseases are the causes of low in hormones.

Why is temperature important for living organisms ?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Temperature affects the physiology of living things also because of the density and state of water. It exerts a crucial influence on living organisms because few can survive at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) thanks to metabolic constraints.
