The dominant phenotypes are not always more frequent than the recessive phenotypes

Let us examine a typical (thus rare) character of a single gene:

dominant allele + dominant allele = dominant phenotype

dominant allele + recessive allele = dominant phenotype

recessive allele + recessive allele = phenotype Recessive

Looking at this, you might conclude that the dominant phenotype is more common. But recessive alleles could be present in a high frequency in a certain population.

For example: in the color of the eyes, people with clear eyes tend to carry recessive alleles of key genes. Dark-eyed people tend to have dominant alleles.

In Scandinavia, most people have clear eyes, implying that recessive alleles of these genes are much more common in this region than dominant alleles.

Which compound is the strongest acid? H2S HBr Li2O LiBr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

HBr

Explanation:

As per the given options, HBr could be considered the strongest acid and the strength of its bond that makes it the strongest acid.  This acid is highly precarious and toxic in comparison to other acids. It is so strong that <u>it can immediately disunite and concedes its protons in suspension</u> later. It is also <em><u>strong as it gets ionized completely in an aqueous solution and also due to the hydronium ions formation on suspension</u></em>. The other compounds do not do so.

<h3>What is Botany?</h3>

This is a term which is referred to as a branch of science which involves the study of the physiology and morphology of plants.

Plants are classified based on various features such as the type of roots, life cycle etc. The species which are present also helps to use their similarities in grouping them thereby making it the most correct points.
