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

What kind of tissue provides plants with the first line of defense against damage and disease?
sergeinik [125]


The best answer - dermal tissue.

Dermal tissue in plants forms the first line of defense against physical damage and infection from the outside world.

Dermal tissue covers the outside of the plant, except in woody shrubs and trees, which have bark. The most common cell type in dermal tissue is epidermal cell. Generally, a thin waxy layer called a cuticle covers the epidermal cells and protects them.

Other cells in the dermal tissue are guard cells that surround the stomata, which are openings in the leaves. Gases enter and leave the dermal tissue through the stomata.

What subatomic particle is transferred to the electron transport system from the krebs cycle?
mario62 [17]
<span>Electrons are transferred via Hydrogen atoms bound to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Essentially, the krebs cycle harvests electrons (Hydrogen atoms) from pyruvates in the inter-membrane space via NADH and these feed into the electron transport chain to power ATP synthase to generate ATP.</span>
