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.

QUE SON LA BIOMOLECULAS​
DIA [1.3K]

Son consideradas biomoléculas aquellas moléculas que forman parte de los organismos vivos.  

Las moléculas son las unidades físicas de la materia, que se forman a partir de la unión de dos o más átomos agrupados a través de enlaces químicos.

Las biomoléculas se clasifican en inorgánicas u orgánicas.

• Las biomoléculas inorgánicas se encuentran ampliamente en la atmósfera. El agua, algunas sales como el cloruro de sodio, y gases como el oxígeno, son ejemplos de biomoléculas inorgánicas.  

• A las moléculas como azúcares, proteínas, combustibles, entre otras, las cuáles contienen átomos de carbono, hidrógeno, oxígeno y a veces nitrógeno se les llama moléculas orgánicas.

Cuando las moléculas orgánicas forman parte de la materia viva, se les conoce como biomoléculas orgánicas, las cuales incluyen fundamentalmente glúcidos, lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos.

Por lo tanto, podemos concluir que las moléculas (compuestos que se forman a partir de los elementos químicos) que se encuentran formando los seres vivos se conocen como biomoléculas y se clasifican en inorgánicas u orgánicas.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Without crossing over, each chromosome would be either maternal or paternal, greatly reducing the number of possible genetic combinations, which would greatly reduce the amount of genetic variation between related individuals and within a species.
