3 0

Answer:

0.547

Explanation:

Given -

Total Population - 500

Individuals with homozygous HbA/hbA genotype - 150

Individuals with homozygous hbs/hbs genotype -150

Individuals with heterozygous hba/hbs genotype -  200

Let us assume the given population is in Hardy Weinberg' equilibrium

The frequency of individuals in the given population with homozygous HbA/hba genotype is equal to number of individuals with homozygous HbA/hba genotype divided by total population.

\frac{150}{500} \\= 0.3

The frequency of hba allele is equal to

\sqrt{0.3} \\= 0.5477

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule?
omeli [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

1. DNA is the polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that contain the nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group. The phosphate is attached with the 3 C position of the deoxyribose sugar. This leads to teh formation of phosphodiester bond.

2. The DNA backbone consists of phosphate and sugar. The nitrogenous bases are inserted inside the DNA molecule. These nitrogenous bases are linked together by the hydrogen bonds.

3. The adenine binds requires two hydrogen bonds to bind with thymine. This provide complementary nature to the DNA molecule. Uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA .

4. The guanine binds requires three hydrogen bonds to bind with cytosine. More amount of energy is required to break their bonds.

The offspring of a cross between a plant with purple flowers are 23 plants with purple flowers and 26 plants with white flowers.
lesya [120]
Assuming purple is dominant, the genotypes of the parents must be Pp and pp, such that half the progeny have the dominant allele (P_) and half have the recessive phenotype (pp) 25% possibility of white-flowered plant life and 75% possibility of pink ones

Explain how sunlight is the primary source of energy for your own life
Llana [10]

Answer: ok...

Explanation:

The continual input of energy, mostly from sunlight, sustains the process of life. Sunlight allows plants, algae and cyanobacteria to use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like carbohydrates. This process is the fundamental source of organic material in the biosphere.

Photosynthesis in the earth's forest produces about half of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis in the earth's oceans p
tester [92]
I think it is because in the ocean the plankton produces most of the oxygen which is used by aquatic plants and plankton is a primary producer known as autotrops.
