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

Multicellular organisms use cell division, mitosis, for growth and the maintenance and repair of cells and tissues. There are fe
Pie

Answer:

Genetic continuity is maintained by the Replication or Synthesis phase and the Mitosis phase of the Cell cycle.

Explanation:

  • The Cell Cycle can be divided into the following phases,
  1. G0- Interphase.
  2. G1 - Growth phase.
  3. S - Replication or Synthesis phase.
  4. G2 - Second Growth phase.
  5. M - Mitosis.
  • Of all the above phases, in the S phase the replication or doubling of the genetic material, that is, the DNA, occurs for equally distributing the genetic material to both the daughter cells.
  • The M or the Mitosis phase is also essential to ensure that the distribution of the genetic material occurs accurately among the daughter cells.
  • Hence, a genetic continuity is maintained across the generations of the cells.
