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

True or False: <br><br> The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

<u>The first step in glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) is the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate</u>, which is catalyzed by hexokinase. [This step is also the first step in the glycolytic pathway]. Glucose-6-phosphate is then isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucomutase. This glucose-i-phosphate is then converted to glycogen by glycogen synthase.
