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%

When a baby is born why is it important that type 2 alveolar cells are functioning normally?
nirvana33 [79]
There are two types of alveolar cells. The type I alveolar cells which lines the alveoli and much more abundant than type II alveolar cells. Then the type II alveolar cells lesser in number but functions differently than type I alveolar cells. Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant (composed of lecitin and sphingomyelin) for the lungs. Surfactant reduces the surface tension inside the alveoli, preventing alveolar consolidation. This is important as babies with dysfunctional type II alveolar cells (usually preterm babies less than 32 weeks age of gestation) will have respiratory distress syndrome in the absence of surfactant.
