In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh

-positive phenotype is produced by a dominant gene (A), and the Rh-negative phenotype is due to its recessive allele (a), what is the frequency of the Rh-positive allele if 84% of a population is Rh-positive?A. 0.04.B. 0.16.C. 0.48.D. 0.60.E. 0.84.

Answer:

D. 0.60

Explanation:

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are:

  • freq AA = p²
  • freq Aa = 2pq
  • freq aa = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the Rh positive allele (A) and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the Rh-negative allele (a).

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, then 16% is Rh-negative and has the genotype <em>aa</em>. Therefore:

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

And because p+q=1,

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of the Rh-positive allele is 0.6

Which of the following statements about a controlled experiment is true?
antoniya [11.8K]

The controlled experiments are performed by the scientists, when they want to study the changes in the sample on changing a single variable. So, the correct answer is option (b).

In case, all variables are kept same, no changes would be observed in the experiment sample. A controlled experiment can be performed on living thing as well as non living. But, controlled experiment cannot be performed on the things which are influenced by a lot of variables, as they cannot create realistic results. So, the option (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

How does a cochlear implant enable the deaf to hear? question 20 options: it receives incoming sound information and bypasses th
Marysya12 [62]
The correct answer is "i<span>t receives incoming sound information and directly stimulates the auditory nerve to transmit information to the brain."

Cochlear implants function to bypass the damaged cochlea due to sensorineural hearing loss (i.e. chronic noise exposure). Cochlear implants functions just like the hair cells and capture sound and transmit it via the vestibulocochlear nerve or the cranial nerve VIII and then to the temporal lobe in the auditory cortex.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The correct option is that its a ( ) frameshift mutation, just like the FC0 mutation.

Explanation:

Frame-shift mutations refer to an event of insertion or deletion at the level of DNA sequence. This effects the way (i.e., in what frame) the genetic code is read. These kind of mutations result in producing a dysfunctional protein product., which may be longer or shorter in length to the actual normal protein that was supposed to be made. A premature stop codon will create a truncated protein.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
