Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139

What is the potential energy in the thylakoid membrane used for?
liubo4ka [24]

The right answer is to perform photosynthesis (more precisely to convert ADP to ATP by ATP synthase).

Light comes to us in the form of photons. These photons have a different energy potential depending on their wavelength.

When a pigment picks up a photon corresponding to its absorption capacity, one of its electrons goes into the excited state. This energy can be transmitted in 3 ways: either by spreading it in the form of photon or heat; both ways lose energy. The third is to transmit resonance energy and there is almost no loss of energy.

A photosystem consists of a reaction center and a collector antenna to optimize the absorption of photons triggering photochemical reactions in order to operate the ATP synthase to produce ATP in the presence of a hydrogen gradient.
