In humans, blood can be either Rh-positive or Rh-negative. Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen in their blood; Rh-negati

ve individuals do not. The Rh-positive allele is dominant (A) while the Rh-negative allele is recessive (a). If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele (A)

Answer:

The correct answer is: 0.60.

Explanation:

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are: freq AA = p² , freq Aa = 2pq , and freq aa = q².

p refers to the frequency of the dominant allele, in this case that would be Rh-positive; while q refers to the frequency of the recessive allele, Rh-negative.

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that 16% of the population is Rh-negative (aa).

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

p + q always equals 1, so:

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

Answer:

0.60

Explanation:

q2 = 0.16;

q = 0.4

Using the formula: p = 1 − q,

P = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

or p = 60%

A _____ is a measure of how much a typical serving size of a particular food raises blood glucose.​
kirill115 [55]
The correct answer is glycemic load.
In particular, glycemic load estimates the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food and how each gram of these carbohydrates can affect the blood glucose. It is a measure commonly used in weight-loss programmes and in dietary programs used to treat insulin resistance. It has been shown that common spikes of blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the risk for diabetes.

Describe how the nervous and muscular systems interact to maintain homeostasis when a person's body temp drops
Mazyrski [523]

Homeostasis is the ability to maintain constant internal conditions when outside conditions change.

For example, when temperatures in the body fall below 37° C, the nervous system signals the muscular system to

cause the body to shiver. When you shiver, your muscles move. Tiny muscles attached to hairs on the skin contract and pull the hairs up straight, forming goose bumps. This movement generates thermal energy and helps raise body

temperature. Keeping the body’s temperature constant requires that the endocrine system, the nervous system, and the muscular system work together.
