The best choice is A.

A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.

Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached  mRNA is  decoded (translated) by tRNA  which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.

What is the hardy weinberg symbol for the dominant allele
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The Hardy Weinberg symbol for the dominant allele is 'p' in his equilibrium equation.

Explanation:

  • The equation given by Hardy: "\bold{p^{2}+2 p q+q^{2}=1}" is known as "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation".
  • The frequency of dominant allele and recessive allele for a trait is represented by 'p' and 'q' respectively.
  • 2pq in the equation is the frequency for heterozygous  genotype.
  • Conditions that must be considered for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to satisfy are: no mutations , no flow of gene, large population size, no selective forces , no non-random mating.
