Erythropoietin hormone is produced by the kidney and its function is to promotes or support the formation of the red blood cells and to provide protection to the cells from the destruction.

Erythropoietin hormone stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and the function of the red blood cells is to transport oxygen to the body.

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: P (dominant) and p (recessive). Only homozygous individu

Virty [35]

The answer is B. 72.25 percent.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p and q are the frequencies of the alleles, and p², q² and 2pq are the frequencies of the genotypes.

The p allele (q) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = 0.15

To calculate the P allele frequency (p), the formula p + q = 1 can be used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the P allele (p), it is easy to determine the frequency of the PP genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.

What are two specific examples of where this division occurs in nature?

romanna [79]

Answer:

There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Explanation:

hope this helps you.
