Answer;

-This area was called a dermatome

Explanation;

-Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After having chickenpox, the virus becomes “dormant” and resides within cells of the nervous system. Reactivation of the virus causes shingles.

-When the virus reactivates, it affects the area of the body along the nerve where it had been residing. This area is a called a dermatome. Shingles often begins with unusual sensations such as itching, burning, or tingling in one area of the skin.

In a population with two alleles, B and b, the allele frequency of B=0.59. What would be the frequency of the heterozygotes if t
Levart [38]

Answer:

0.483

Explanation:

The given population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. If the gene has two alleles, the sum total of the frequencies of these two alleles will be one.  

Therefore, the total of the frequency of allele B and frequency of allele b will be 1. f(B) + f(b)=1

If the frequency of allele "B" is 0.59, then the frequency of allele "b" will be=1-0.59= 0.41

The frequency of heterozygous genotype in the population= 2pq

p= frequency of the dominant allele

q= frequency of the recessive allele

So, 2pq= 2 x 0.59 x 0.41 = 0.483

Describe the relationship between organic compounds, nucleotides, RNA, and a universal genetic code.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code.

Organic compounds are the compounds made by living organisms with at least one molecule of carbon linked to different elements like hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.for example: nucleotides.

A nucleotide is the monomer units of nucleic acids- DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide is made up of organic compounds- sugar, a phosphate molecule and nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil).  

The arrangement of nitrogenous bases in DNA decides the fate of proteins as the sequence of these bases acts as code arranged in the triplet called "codons" which code for specific amino acids.

Thus, Organic compounds→ nucleotides→ RNA→ universal code is the correct answer.
