Answer:

Carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Amino acids are made up of the amine group, carboxyl group, hydrogen and R hydrophobic chain. Amino acids are the monomers of the protein and they are coded by the particular codons.

Amino acids contains both the amino group and the carboxyl group. The carboxylic group is a polar group and becomes negative charged when the pH of the solution is greater than the pKa value of the amino acids.

Thus, the answer is carboxylic acid.

At this boundary, crust is neither created nor destroyed.

salantis [7]

Transform boundary – this type of fault is found where two tectonic plates are moving alongside and parallel to each other mostly in opposite directions. This type of fault is also responsible for the rift valley and block mountains. No crust is destroyed nor new crust formed.

Convergent boundary – At this point, two tectonic plates are colliding because they are moving in opposite directions at each other. The pressure and stress of the collision force causes the plates to begin crumpling and folding at the boundary forming features such as fold mountains (an example is the Himalayas).

Convergent boundary – At this boundary , the denser of the two colliding tectonic plates (usually the oceanic plate) is subsided by the less dense one (usually the continental plate). The plate being subsided begins to melt as it does down into the mantle and becomes liquid rock. This magma rises through the fissures formed at the boundary and erupts into volcanic islands along the boundary.

In a hypothetical population of 2500 people, 2275 people have brown eyes and 225 people have blue eyes (the homozygous-recessive

aev [14]

Answer:

In the next generation of 4000 children, 1680 of them will be heterozygous for the eye colour.

Explanation:

There's a population of 2500, 2275 of with have brown eyes and 225 blue eyes. Let's call the dominant allele associated with brown colour "B" and the recessive allele associated with blue colour "b". So the possible genotypes are BB, Bb and bb, being BB and Bb brown eyed individuals and bb blue eyed individuals.

If the population it's in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it means genotypic and allelic frequencies don't change from one generation to the following.

From the information given, we can calculate both allelic and genotypic frequencies.

First, we know that the frequency of the genotype bb it's the amount of blue eyed individuals over the total population.

f(bb)=225/2500=0.09

Additionally we know the allelic frequencies can be related to the genotypic ones when the population it's in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Particularly we can say:

f(bb)=[f(b)]^2 => f(b)=[f(bb)]^(1/2)= 0.3 (square root of f(bb)).

Also, we can calculate the frequency of the B allele, as the probability of all alleles of the gene sum 1. In other words:

f(b)+f(B)=1 => f(B)=1 - f(b) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

So far, we have calculated the allelic frequencies, f(b)=0.3 and f(B)=0.7.

Now we can calculate the genotypic frequencies, using the equations of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

f(bb)=[f(b)]^2 => f(bb)=0.3^2=0.09
f(Bb)=2*f(B)*f(b) => f(Bb)=2*0.7*03=0.42
f(BB)=[f(B)]^2 => f(BB)=0.7^2=0.49

Finally, knowing that there are 4000 children in the next generation, to know how many of them are expected to be heterozygous for the eye colour, we should multiply the number of children for the probability of being heterozygous for the eye colour (which is the genotypic frequency for the genotype Bb).
