Chromosomes are made of condensed coils of DNA. Genes are segments on a chromosome that carry the code for a specific trait. Alleles are contrasting forms of a gene. Dominant means that a particular trait will be visible. Recessive means that a trait will be hidden (unless it is paired with another recessive gene). A trait is how the gene is seen. For example, eye color is a trait.
The right answer is A.
Meiosis is an important process in many organisms:
In angiosperms, plants with flowers, meiosis occurs for the production of cells of pollen grains (gametes, haploid cells).
In animals, meiosis is important because it is the mechanism of gametogenesis that produces eggs (oogenesis) and sperm (spermatogenesis).
In the fungi, meiosis produces spores, which by mitosis will give a haploid generation.
The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.
Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09
Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.
For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l
So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.
To calculate the frequencies:
Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)
p = 182/200 = 0.91
The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:
q = 18/200 = 0.09
Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.
