Answer:

0.2 or 20%

Explanation:

Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

Here,

since the trait is autosomal recessive, q² = 4% or 0.04

Frequency of recessive harmful allele = q

= √0.04

= 0.2 or 20%

Circular motion includes all curved paths, not just movement in full circles
Lelu [443]

Answer;

The above statement is true

Explanation;

-Circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. It can be uniform, with constant angular rate of rotation and constant speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation.

When an object moves in a circle at a constant speed its velocity (which is a vector) is constantly changing. Its velocity is changing not because the magnitude of the velocity is changing but because its direction is.

Only green organisms have chloroplasts, so do green frogs and toads have chloroplasts??
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a cell that comes from plants not animals.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the part of chloroplast and is the light absorbing pigments which provide green color to the plants, but chloroplast traps the solar energy, which is the site of photosynthesis and other chemical reactions and works as the ‘powerhouse of the cell’ like mitochondria.
