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

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.  The contraction forces of the innervated muscle fibers.

Explanation:

Electromyography or EMG is the study of muscle activity with the help of analyzing electric signals that are burst or generated by the contraction of the muscle fibers. In other words, it is the electrical activity of the skeletal muscles in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle.

EMG uses the myoelectric signals to analyze muscle that is generated during the contraction forces of the inverted muscle fibers of the skeletal muscle.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.  The contraction forces of the innervated muscle fibers.

How do the hypothesis of microspheres and the RNA World hypothesis build off of each other?
grin007 [14]

Explanation:

Microspheres were spherical bodies with metabolic abilities that could successfully sustain their existence. However they did not contain any genetic material. Which means that they could not replicate or pass off their parts to their successive generations.

But they had no way to evolve since they could not pass off any genetic material to their offspring's. This is why RNA came into existence. RNA enabled an Organism to store its genetic material into nucleic acids, that could be passed on to generations to come. This is also how they could evolve into more complex organisms.
