Answer: The complementary strand will be TGCAGCT.

Explanation:

Replication is a process of making identical copies of a DNA in the cell. It is a process by which the genetic information in a parent DNA is used to make two identical copies of DNA (daughter DNA) which are complementary to the parent DNA. Four bases are found in DNAs: Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine and Guanine. In forming the complementary strand, the bases in the parent strand pairs with appropriate bases. In base pairing, Adenine pairs with Thymine while Guanine pairs with Cytosine.

A= T while G = C.

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by $70$ % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means $p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7$

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is $0.7$

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

$p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3$

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

$q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09$

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

$p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42$

Hence, option C is correct

It would be Newton's "3rd" Law that explains why my hands hurt when I clap loudly, since this states that every action as an equal and opposite reaction.
