The Hardy-Weinberg principle is written as an equation: p2 + pq2 + q2 = 1. What does the q represent?

Biology

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is: frequency of the recessive allele.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When there are no mutations, no selective forces, no gene flow, no non-random mating and large population size, the population is said to be in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium.

When Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is met, it is written in the form of an equation which is as follows:

p^2+2pq+q^2=1

where p^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous dominant allele, 2pq is the frequency of the heterozygous  allele while q orq^2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive allele.

As you may know, people’s physical and emotional health interact: One can affect the other. The characters in "In Another Countr
Margaret [11]

Answer:

To preserve their mental health, the characters must keep in mind that all suffering is temporary and although it is difficult, they will overcome this situation. What can help characters deal with their situations is by reasoning about the following questions:

"What led me to this situation?"

"What are my limitations in dealing with this type of problem?"

"How could I have acted to minimize the impacts of suffering?"

"Would any action by me prevent these disorders?"

Explanation:

Every time that the characters evaluate themselves and correct their behaviors, they will be able to follow the emotional evolution that will help them to deal with all their suffering. In this journey, each one has a different rhythm. In fact, we are different in almost every aspect of our physical and mental makeup. The variations in intelligence are enormous and also those related to aggressiveness, intensity of fears and the ability to deal with them. It would not be fair, therefore, to tell a character (or a person) that he is suffering from "nonsense". What is small for one may be large for the other. Underestimating the pain of others is not synonymous with help, but a lack of empathy.

We do have a duty and obligation, in the name of our own well-being, to try to get rid of our pains as quickly as possible, but that does not mean not feeling them. Some people do it more easily, while others "fall in love" with the problem and think about it in a recurrent and obsessive way. They silence the word, but the mind goes on chattering.

ATP is produced during the process of cellular respiration. Which is the order of the steps of cellular respiration? (A) Krebs c
Maurinko [17]

Answer: C- glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain.

Explanation: Glycolysis is a catabolic reaction that comprises of series of steps that breaks down food to give off energy in a form of ATP. Pyruvate is the product of glycolysis together with two ATP molecules. Pyruvate is further broken down by joining the krebs cycle and finally the electron transport chain that transfer electrons using the redox reaction, to reduce NADH to NAD + H and FADH to FAD, creating the final product i.e ATP, Overall one glucose molecule gives 38 ATP molecules in aerobic respiration.

An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species is introduced. This in
Alona [7]

Answer:

A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak.

Explanation:

An invasive species is the one which is non-native to the given ecosystem. Its growth hampers balanced ecological parameters and disturbs food web as well as normal flora.The overall effect of invasive species is decreasing biodiversity in selected ecosystem. As the ecologist needs to understand effect of this invasive species, firstly it is important to understand the transition of oak tress to invasive form. The transition rate is one of the deciding factor to introduce diversity in ecosystem. Also if the invasive form has the ability to revert back to original oak tress it would restore the original ecosystem. Thus a model in which oak has a positive transition rate to invasive and the invasive has a position transition to oak can be selected for the analysis. In other models, the final trnasition to grass would introduce lot of biodiversity in selected ecosystem which would be of little importance to understand transition rate.
