The nickel atomic nucleus contains 28 protons and the copper atomic nucleus contains 29 protons.

Nickel atoms have 28 protons in their atomic nuclei, giving nickel the atomic number 28. In addition to 28 protons, a nickel atomic nucleus contains 30 to 36 neutrons, depending on the isotope.

Copper atoms have 29 protons in their atomic nuclei, which gives copper it atomic number 29. The atomic nuclei of copper also include 34 to 37 neutrons, depending on the isotope.

A genetic locus has two alleles. One has a frequency of 0.12; the other has a frequency of _______.
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

As per the first equation of equilibrium of Hardy Weinberg, the sum of frequencies of alleles at the locus is equal to unity.  

Thus,  

If "p" represents the frequency of dominant allele, "q" represents the frequency of recessive allele and at equilibrium

p + q = 1\\

Let us assume that value of q is given in question which is equal to 0.12

On substituting the given values in above equation we get -

p + 0.12 = 1\\p = 1-0.12\\p = 0.88

Hence, option A is correct

meriva

Answer: Option D.

A region of DNA consisting of the promoter and operator sequences needed to regulate one or more structural genes.

Explanation:

An operon is a part of the the DNA that is found in bacteria or viruses which function in transcription and genetic regulation. Operon is under control of an operator, consist of promoter, regulator and structural genes. Operon is normally under the control of a single operator in which genes coding for protein are clustered along the DNA.
