Answer:

Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage. In population genetics, allele frequencies show the genetic diversity of a species population or equivalently the richness of its gene pool.

Explanation:

Some of the sequence of DNA given is in 3' to 5' direction, mRNA sequence is also given.

The DNA is double stranded helix which replicates by semi conservative mode. The two strands unwind to act as a template for other strands. In transcription the 3' to 5' strand acts as a template because RNA synthesis takes place in 5' to 3' direction. mRNA is single strand. It has nucleotides in it from which 3 base pairs acts as a code for amino acid.

The following table shows DNA strand having complementary sequaence and mRNA synthesized.

What must a substance be able to do in order to be used as an acid base indicator

erastovalidia [21]

The substance must be able to alter its physical characteristic (for example, its color) in accordance to a change in pH. One example of this is litmus paper, which becomes red under acidic conditions and blue under basic conditions.
