Answer:

0.8 and 0.2

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg law states that the allele frequency of the population remain stable from one generation to next generation if no natural selection, drift or mutation occurs in the population.

Let p and q be the dominant and recessive frequency of the population respectively.

The dominant phenotype means p² = 0.64

p = 0.8

and we known that p + q = 1, in hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

0.8 + q = 1.

q = 0.2

Thus, the dominant allele is 0.8 and recessive allele is 0.2.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Mutation refers to an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the genome found in an individual. Mutation can be beneficial, harmful or neutral. A mutation is said to be beneficial when its effects add positively to the survival of the organism. On the other hand, a mutation is described as harmful if the effects is negative or neutral if it has no negative or positive effects.

From the options given in this question, you will notice that all of them have beneficial effects with the exception of option D. A mutation that cause uncontrolled cell division is harmful and can lead to cancer.

In what way do the particular proteins in our bodies depend on our DNA.
NISA [10]

Answer:

Proteins are synthesized in the body through a process called Translation. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and involves converting genetic codes into proteins. Genetic Codes are assembled during DNA transcription, where DNA is decoded into RNA. The cell structures called Ribosomes. Ribosomes help transcribe RNA into polypeptide-chains that need to be modified to become functioning proteins.
