A galaxy is a gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias, literally "milky", a reference to the Milky Way.


Elliptical: These have a faint, rounded shape, but they're devoid of gas and dust, with no visible bright stars or spiral patterns. ...
Spiral: The Milky Way is one of the larger spiral galaxies. ...
Irregular: These are small, faint galaxies with large clouds of gas and dust, but no spiral arms or bright centers.

Human chorionic gonadotropin is secreted from the placenta. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is HCG?</h3>

HCG is known as Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.

It is a hormone secreted by the placenta during pregnancy.

The hormone specifically functions to thicken the wall of the uterus in order to be able to support the growing embryo.

It also signals to the body system to halt the process of menstruation.

Which best describes the importance of mitosis to living organisms
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Mitosis is a process of cell division that leads into formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell. So this is greatly important to living organisms because Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.

Good Luck!!!

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: R (dominant) and r (recessive). Only homozygous individu
White raven [17]

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>

<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>

where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the frequencies of the genotypes.

<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15

To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
