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

Allen has been studying the genetic material of dogs, to get more insight
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Nucleic Acids

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and they are the molecules responsible for containing the genetic material of all living beings. Thus, DNA and RNA are the molecules responsible for establishing the variability and different characteristics between dog breeds, through the genetic information that each of them houses.

In this case, among the options given in the question above, we can confirm that if Allen has studied the genetic material of dogs to better understand why there are so many different breeds, he must have studied nucleic acids.
