In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi

nant, makes a heffalump hairy, whereas the h allele codes for the absence of hair. If 36% of the heffalump population is hairless, what is the frequency of the h allele?

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

Which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? bind
Hitman42 [59]
The step in translation initiation that is unique to the eukaryotes is:

<span>formation of the preinitiation complex ribosome assembly
</span>
Here are the processes involved in the Translation Initiation of Eukaryotes

1) 5'cap is used to position the mRNA on the 40S ribosomal subunit
2) ribosome scans down the mRNA looking for an AUG.
3) There is an initiator methionine-tRNA
4) The initiating AUG codon is often within a consensus sequence called the Kozak sequence (5'-ACCAUGG-3')
5) After binding the cap, ribosomes scan down the mRNA until the Kozak sequence is reached and translation begins
<span>6)The poly (A) tail and 5'-cap binding proteins help the initiation complex form

The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the age
ozzi

Answer:

poliinators and flagellated sperm

Explanation:

Cycads (phylum Cycadophyta) together with Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, Pinophyta, Pteridospermales and Cordaitales  belong to the gymnosperms (naked seed-producing plants). They are different than angiosperms which produce encased seeds within an ovary.

Cycads (but also Ginkgo) produce swimming sperm that is different than all other groups which produce sperm without swimming flagella.

Also, unlike other groups of gymnosperms, cycads have specialized  pollinators, beetls.
