Answer: The frequency of GG is 0.64

Explanation: using Hardy-weinberg equation

g^2 + 2Gg + G^2 =1 ................(1)

And the sum of the alleles at the locus must be 1.

Therefore:

G + g = 1 ..............................(2)

Since

G=0.8

g= 0.2

G^2 =GG (Homozygous G gene)

g^2 = gg (Homozygous g gene)

Using equation 1

GG+ (2×0.8×0.2) + gg =1

Therefore

GG + 0.32 + gg = 1

GG + gg = 0.68...............(3)

Solving equation 2

G + g = 1

g = 1 - G

Square both side

g^2 = (1 - G)^2 ...............4

Where g^2 = gg

Therefore gg = (1 - G)^2.............(5)

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

GG + (1 - G)^2 = 0.68

Therefore

GG = 0.68 - (1 - G)^2

GG = 0.68 - (1 - 0.8)^2

GG = 0.68 - 0.04

GG = 0.64

What type of reaction occurs when large carbohydrate molecules are broken down into smaller sugars? select one:
seraphim [82]
Answer: D

Carbolic reactions breaks larger substances to smaller ones.

Anabolic reactions forms larger compounds from smaller units.

DNA synthesis does not involve breaking down of sugars.

Dehydration is a umbrella term used for reactions that releases water as a byproduct. In the case of sugars, they are held by Glycosidic bonds. To break them, hydration is needed as 1 water molecule breaks 1 glycosidic bond. The process of forming large units of sugars involves dehydration to form the glycosidic bonds. Therefore option d is wrong.

DNA guiding production of protein is definitely wrong as this process doesn't cause sugars to break down at all.

Which physical factors MOST influence a marine biome?
alina1380 [7]
The correct option is C.
The marine biome is the largest biome in the world and is made up of five different oceans. The marine biome is always affected by changes in the wave motion of water, salinity and the atmospheric pressure. The changes can either affect the organisms living in the biome either negatively or positively depending on the direction and the intensities of these changes.

The roots of the aquatic plant hydrilla are poorly developed and lack xylem tissue. Which is an appropriate justification for th
