Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: P (dominant) and p (recessive). Only homozygous individu

als that have two copies of the recessive allele have the condition. If the p allele is found in 15 percent of the population, what's the frequency of the PP genotype?
A. 25.5 percent
B. 72.25 percent
C. 2.25 percent
D. 12.75 percent

<span>The answer is B. 72.25 percent.

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>p</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>P</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula <em>p + q = 1</em> can be 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>P</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the <em>PP </em>genotype (<em>p²</em>):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

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

An infant is suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome. the nurse provides appropriate care and support for the infant during
bezimeni [28]
Answer:


Linked the family with community sources for aid.


Besides nursing care, the nurse would make sure that interdisciplinary members of the team were involved, such as, the doctors' nutritionist, community worker, or resources, and provide a supportive environment for the family, and the client. The chaplain may be of support for the infant, or family may not be present. the bright room is overly stimulating to the withdrawing infant, and feeding is basic care.



Hope this helps.

Hi i need help with this. can someone give me a full answer on this? thank you!
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Point 3 for kinetic, points 1 and 5 for potential

Explanation:

There is one point that the ball has the most kinetic energy it is at point 3. Point 3 has the most kinetic energy because it has gained the most speed since it was dropped and it also is right before it starts slowing down from trying to go up again. Points 1 and 5 have the most potential energy. When the ball is at point 1 or 5 it is at its maximum height thus it cannot swing any further, so it stops for a split second and gains a large amount of potential energy before it is released into kinetic energy when it falls back down.
