Answer:

148

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

Total population = 592

Number of NN people = 148

Frequency of N blood group or NN genotype (q²) = 148/592 = 0.25

q = √0.25 = 0.5

p = 1 - q

= 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Hence, p = 0.5

Frequency of MM genotype = p² = 0.25

Number of people with MM genotype = 0.25*592 = 148

Hence, 148 people will have MM genotype or M blood group.

Why does catalase function most efficiently at the pH level of 7
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Catalase functions the best at the pH of 7 because the pH of 7 is not too acidic or alkaline. It is on the normal scale, like water. Catalase can't be placed in an acidic liquid. It can not be placed in an alkaline liquid either.

Hope this helps!
