The correct answer is D) 0,81

When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in  this  case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. And we have:

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1       <em>p+q= 1     p=1-q</em>

q= 0.1     p= 1-0.1= 0.9

p²=0.9²= 0.81

velikii [3]

The Correct answer is "We want to understand the many aspects of human health, physiology, and behavior that are influenced by genes"

The geneticists devote so many resources to studying genetics in humans because they have realized that there are several diseases or physical traits (which may be due to the mutant gene) which are controlled by genes. For example diabetes which was earlier only thought to be regulated by insulin is now known to be as a heretical disease. Also it has been found that genetic diseases that are not present in the parent suddenly appear in their children. This may be due to the presence of recessive traits associated with genes and are being transferred from the forefathers. Not only diseases the physiological characteristics such as skin colour, eye colour, height, hair colour etc are also due to the result of expression of traits carried by the genes.  

In the current scenario the different lifestyle, food and harmful environment conditions also produces genetic variation. Thus it is very important for the geneticist to refer several knowledge resources to understand the expression of gene under varying condition and how it may impact the humans.

Describe how anemia and leukemia affect the blood.
Vaselesa [24]
Anemia- The Bone Marrow stops making red and white cells and platelets for the body.

People with severe or very severe are in risk of life threathing infections and bleeding.

Leukemia- Is a cancer to blood or bone marrow .Large numbers of white cells are produced in the bone marrow and crowd it and the bloodstream and they cannot perform the proper role of protecting and fitting against diseases.Blood has to go everywhere to bring to body what it needs, making it a stuff cancer.

Major progress and been made targeting this cancer, take the blood out of the body, separate your cancer blood from your good blood, better ways to kill only the bad blood, make more good blood faster, relax your body, mind, improved immune system.
