Answer:

A- Relieving strain in the DNA ahead of replication fork.

Explanation:

During transcription or replication, DNA double helixed strand unwinds catalysed by the helicase enzyme, they break the hydrogen bonds that holds the two strands together. When DNA unwinds, supercoils are created in the replication fork, if it is not dealt with, transcription or replication will come to a halt. Topoisomerase enzymes are there to relieve DNA by cutting the phosphate backbone of either single or both strands of DNA, preventing supercoils.

seraphim [82]

Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.

Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:

1 - 0.8 = 0.2

In Hardy-Weinberg principle,

p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1

2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:

genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.

Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.
