Answer:

25% ;  50%

Explanation:

Assuming the dominant allele for the rolling tongue is P, then the recessive allele will be p.

The population unable to roll their tongue will be recessive dominant pp = 25% = 0.25

To find the frequency of the p allele then = (square root of 0.25) = 0.5

Remember the Hardy Weinberg equation of p + q = 1 & p² +2pq + q² = 1

Therefore P = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5

Homozygous dominant individuals will be P*P = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%

Heterozygous individuals will be 2*P*p= 2*0.5 *0.5 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%

Proteins can be visualized in many ways, each of which highlights a specific aspect of the protein. drag the terms on the left t
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1. Space-filling

2. Ribbon model

3. Wireframe

4. Simple shape

5. Simplified diagram

Explanation:

"attached is the question"

A protein can be visualized using different types of models. The models you use will depend on what you want the viewer to understand.

A space-filling model would show all the atoms that composes a protein. This type of model makes use of spheres, emphasizing the globular structure of the atoms. They are proportional to the actual size of the atom they represent.  Each type of atom is a different color. Even the distances of the spheres are proportional to its size to help viewers better see the actual shape of the protein.

Ribbon model is also a 3D representation of a protein. It shows the only the backbone of the protein. It highlights the folds and coils in a protein, generally the organization. Some versions show the α-helices as ribbons and β-strands are shown as arrows.

Wire frame model is like the ribbon model but it also shows the side chains. It shows the different atoms that are involved. Thin wires show the bonds made between the atoms and the wires bend show the relative location of the atoms.

A simple shape focuses more on the function of the protein overall rather than the internal structures. The shape does not represent a particular protein, merely using a general shape to represent a protein.

A simplified diagram shows more detail than the simple shape. It shows the internal structures as well but like the simple shape model, it focuses more on the function of the protein. A version of it is a solid shape, which does not show the internal structure.

By which mechanism of heat transfer does heat travel in a straight line at the speed of light, allowing heat to travel through v
Sladkaya [172]

Radiation is the  mechanism of heat transfer by which heat travel in a straight line at the speed of light, allowing heat to travel through vacuums and air spaces.

Radiation in physics is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or matter medium. This includes:

  • Electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays (γ)
  • Particle radiation beams such as alpha rays (α), beta rays (β), proton rays, and neutron rays (with static energy non-zero particles)
  • Acoustic Radiation such as ultrasound, sound waves, seismic waves (due to physical transmission media)
  • Gravitational radiation in the form of gravitational waves, or waves of curvature of space-time

Radiation is often classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing, depending on the energy of the particles it hits.
