<span>To have the disease, males need only one copy of the affected X.</span>

So, the frequency of affected males will be the frequency of the disease allele = 0.02

Females must inherit two copies and be homozygotes, so the frequency of affected females will be the double of frequency of the disease allele = (0.02)

Since the ratio between female and male is 50:50 that is half of the population is male and half female

<span>Then the overall frequency of the disease will be,</span>

(0.5) (0.02) + (0.5) (0.0004) = 0.01 + 0.0002

<span>Thus, the frequency of affected individuals in this population is <span>0.0102.</span></span>

(GIVING BRAINLIST) 5TH GRADE I NEED HELP ASAP. in the space provided, describe how the intestines, liver, stomach, and pancreas
umka21 [38]

Answer: Glands in your stomach lining make stomach acid and enzymes that break down food. Muscles of your stomach mix the food with these digestive juices. Your pancreas makes a digestive juice that has enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, along with your liver that makes a digestive juice called bile, which helps digest fats and some vitamins. The pancreas delivers the digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts. Bacteria in your small intestine make some of the enzymes you need to digest carbohydrates. It also absorbs water with other nutrients. Bacteria in your large intestine help break down remaining nutrients and make vitamin K NIH external link. Waste products of digestion, including parts of food that are still too large, become stool.

Explanation:

Mouth. The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food.
