Population of 100 flowering plants contain 60 plants that are Homozygous for orange flowers, 30 plants that are heterozygous for

orange flowers, and 10 plants that are homozygous for white flowers. Determine the frequency for the O allele in the frequency for the o allele in this population. Show your work. #4

Frequency of an allele = number of desired allele in the population / total                                                   number of alleles in the population

Here there are two alleles as 'O' (dominant allele) and 'o' (recessive allele)

Since there are 100 flowers, the total number of alleles is 100 x 2 = 200.

Homozygous flowers have OO alleles while heterozygous have Oo alleles.
O alleles in homozygous flowers = 60 x 2 = 120
O alleles in heterozygous flowers= 30 x 1 =   30
Hence, total O alleles                  = 120 + 30 = 150

Frequency of O allele = 150 / 200 = 0.75

Are viruses considered to be cells? Why or why not
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

No, viruses are not considered cells as they're parasitic and can't live on their own. A virus has to infect living cells in order to survive, so it's not considered a cell.

In cells where telomerase is normally inactive, it can become active by accident and often, cancer will develop as a result. Can
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Cancer cells achieve proliferative immortality by activating or upregulating the normally silent human TERT gene (hTERT) that encodes telomerase, a protein with reverse transcriptase activity that complexes with other proteins and a functional RNA (encoded by hTR, also called hTERC) to make a ribonucleoprotein enzyme.

Explanation:

A rare cell that escapes crisis almost universally does so by reactivating telomerase and this cell can now become a cancer cell with limitless potential to divide. Almost all cancer cells have short telomeres and thus inhibitors of telomerase should drive such cancer cells into apoptotic cell death. Yet, each time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter. When they get too short, the cell no longer can divide and becomes inactive or "senescent" or dies. This process is associated with aging, cancer, and a higher risk of death.

What are red blood cells and what do they do?
Verdich [7]
Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. They typically live for about 120 days, and then they die.
