In a population of 1000 fruit flies, 360 have red eyes and the remainder have sepia eyes. The sepia eye trait is recessive to re

d eyes. How many individuals would you expect to be homozygous for red eye color if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

Answer:

<h2>40</h2>

Explanation:

Calculations:

Let q²= homozygous recessive

p²=  homozygous dominant  

2 pq heterozygous

q² for this population is 640/1000 = 0.64

q = √o.64 = 0.8

so, P= 1- q  

= 1- 0.8 = 0.2

The homozygous dominant frequency = p² = (0.2)(0.2) = 0.04

Therefore, you can expect 4% of 1000, or 40 individuals, to be homozygous dominant.

Why is a "shell of hydration" important to life?
Vitek1552 [10]

D. It allows a variety of substances to dissolve in and around cells.

Explanation:

The shell of hydration is important to life because it allows a broad range of substances to dissolve in and around the cells.

  • The shell of hydration allow for water to dissolve a wide range of substances and disperse them uniformly in it.
  • Water serves a solvent capable of dissolving a wide range of substances because it forms a hydration shell round them.
  • This allow for materials to be in solution around the cell.
  • Diffusion and osmosis can readily now take place.

You splice DNA fragments from a "foreign" source into the patient's gene so that the gene will begin manufacturing the enzyme. T
Arada [10]

Answer:

recombinant DNA

Explanation:

In molecular biology, recombinant DNA molecules are genetic sequences formed by combining DNA material from different sources (i.e., organisms, populations, species, etc). Proteins produced from DNA recombinant molecules are known as recombinant proteins. Molecular cloning is the most widely used technique in molecular biology in order to produce recombinant DNA molecules. In this technique, a cloning vector such as, for example, a plasmid of a bacterium, is used to insert a foreign DNA fragment into another cell which is then expressed in the host cell.
