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

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>

Anika [276]

Answer:

Tyrosine derived neurotransmitters

Explanation:

These neurotransmitters are produced as a result of the conversion of tyrosine when not incorporated into proteins or energy production is converted to catecholamines.

These catecholamines includes dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

All these three catecholamines produce various effects in numerous locations in the body acting either as a neurotransmitter or as a hormone

slavikrds [6]

Answer: B. providing access to objects that are hard to find

Explanation: A specimen can be simply refered to as a sample of blood, tissue, fluid or a piece of a matter which scientist take or obtain to have a better look (study) at it in a lab.

Specimen collection is the process involved in getting or obtaining these samples for better analysis in a lab. This process help scientist get, obtain or have access to samples or objects that are not easily accessible.

Therefore Specimen collection helps scientist carry out experiment by providing access to objects that are hard to find.
