Answer:

C. Helicase

Explanation:

Helicases are the enzymes involved in unzipping of the double stranded DNA molecule at beginning of DNA replication. They do so by binding at DNA sequences called origins on DNA molecule then they break the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs causing the two strands of DNA molecule to unzip.

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

Watson and Crick's model explained mutability because bases pairs can suffer changes (mutations) during DNA replication. Moreover, this model also explained stability because DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a double helix molecule composed of two long chains of four types of nucleotides, each containing one different nitrogenous base, i.e., Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.

In Watson and Crick's model, both DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases on opposite DNA strands, thereby providing stability to the DNA molecule.

In DNA, Guanine always pairs with Cytosine by three hydrogen bonds, while Adenine always pairs with Thymine by two hydrogen bonds.

Moreover, Watson and Crick suggested that mutations could occur as a consequence of a base occurring very infrequently in one of the less likely tautomeric forms during DNA replication, thereby also explaining the mutability of life.
