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

Biology

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

The nurse places the stethoscope on the 3rd intercostal space at the left sternal border. Which area is the nurse auscultating f
miv72 [106K]

The nurses auscultated for heart sounds in the area of Erb point.

The fifth point of auscultation for the heart test, known as "Erb's point," which is occasionally given to the eminent German neurologist Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (1840–1921) without any supporting documentation, is positioned in the third intercostal gap near the sternum. At the third intercostal gap and the left lower sternal border is the auscultation location for heart sounds and heart murmurs known as Erb's point.

The spinal accessory nerve in the posterior nerve triangle is located at Erb's point (also known as the great auricular nerve) at the location where it enters the trapezius muscle. At the end of expiration, the third intercostal gap on the left (Erb's point) is often the ideal place to detect the murmur of aortic regurgitation because it is quiet, high-pitched, early diastolic and decrescendo.

Table sugar is not a mineral because?
lianna [129]

Answer:

<h3><em><u>It is not made by a geologic process</u></em></h3>

Explanation:

A geologic process is a process which occurs dynamically at earth's surface or land forms. For example, volcanic eruption, weathering, erosion etc.

Whereas minerals are the inorganic substances which are homogeneous and occur naturally with a definite shape.

Sugar comes from plants and therefore it an organic compound. Hence it is not a mineral.

A table sugar undergoes a number of refining processes. It is in crystal form and it is made of more than one element which doesn't relate sugar with minerals.

Thus, we can conclude that <u>table sugar is not a mineral because it is not made by a geologic process.</u>

<u></u>

Hope this help

Have a nice day!!!
