Answer:

HOPE THIS HELPS

Explanation:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses.

Answer:

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke

In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

<span>Nervous System - Nucleus - control (responding to certain neurotransmitters by allowing transcription factors to be formed) Respiratory System - Plasma Membrane (alveoli allow certain particles into the cells but want to keep contaminants out) Reproductive System - Nucleus - DNA (determines in part the genome and developmental process of the offspring) Digestive System - Mitochondria (want full redox reaction to occur in the organelle based on nutrients extracted from food) Integumentary System - Cytoskeleton (for support as well as in the construction of the basal lamina) Musculoskeletal System - Endomembrane System (think about the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the effect of increased surface area when calcium is released) Circulatory System - Passive Transport (through capillaries especially)</span>
