Once transcription is complete, strands of RNA are sent to the cytoplasm to attach to

Illusion [34]

Answer: ribosome

Explanation:

rhe mRNA (messenger RNA) takes the transcribed RNA strand to ribosomes in the in the cytoplasm. Here, tRNA will attach to codons using anticodons. The tRNA will also bring amino acids that will make a polypeptide chain. This makes proteins.

In humans, Rh-positive individuals have the Rh antigen on their red blood cells, while Rh-negative individuals do not. If the Rh

bixtya [17]

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

In population genetics, the Hardy-Weinberg Principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors are active and no mutations occur.

The frequencies of the genotypes of an individual locus will be set to a particular equilibrium value. It also specifies that these equilibrium frequencies can be represented as a simple function of the allelic frequencies at that locus. In the simplest case, with a locus with two alleles A and a, with allele frequencies of p and q respectively, the principle predicts that the genotypic frequency for the dominant homozygous AA is p^2, that of the heterozygous Aa is 2pq and that of the recessive homozygous aa, is q^2. The allele frequency of a is represented as p and the frequency of recessive allele is q.

The three genotypes AA : Aa : aa appear in a ratio p² : 2pq : q². If we add them up, we get the unit:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = (p + q)^2 = 1

And p + q = 1

Rh-positive genotypes are represented as AA (homozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous) since the presence of a single dominant allele is sufficient to express the phenotype. While Rh-negative genotypes are represented as aa.

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that this percentage includes all those who are AA and Aa. Then 16% are aa.

F(aa)=q^2=0.16

then F(a)=q=0.4

And since p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, then p is 0.6

We can also calculate the rest, then F(AA)=p^2= 0.36

So F(Aa)= 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48

Notice that 0.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1

The first line of defense against pathogens includes:

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: The first line of defense acts a barrier and does not allows the foreign materials to enter inside the body. It includes chemical and physical barriers that are always ready to protect the body from infection.

Example: Skin and mucous membrane.

Skin is largest organ and it acts as a barrier between pathogens and human body. It acts a waterproof material and the pathogens cannot get inside through skin unless the skin is broken.

Mucous membranes also acts as first line of defense and breaks the cell wall of many bacteria entering through the openings of the body.

So, skin and mucous membrane are the first line of defense.

Hemophilia is a disease that causes uncontrollable bleeding. If a father has it, all of his daughters will be carriers of the di

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Yes, the following description is true.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. This means that only one allele recessive allele for the trait in males will cause the disease to occur in males. However, for females, there should be two recessive alleles present for the gene for the trait to occur. A female carrying one recessive allele for the trait will be a carrier.

If a father is hemophiliac, this will mean that all the daughters will be carriers for the disease as they will have one of the allele for the trait from the father. On the other hand, about half of the sons will have the disease if they get the recessive allele from the father for the trait.
