Answer:

5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)

6.) Frequency of R: 0.5

7.)Frequency of R: 0.5

8.)Frequency of R: 0.375

Explanation:

5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes

6.) First calculate the total alleles in population

allele R= 40

Allele B=40

total allele = R+B= 40+40

=80

Now to find allele R frequency is:

(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)

40/80=

0.5

7.)Calculate the total alleles

Alleles from for R

RR= 10

R=10x 2= 20

Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in

RB=20

R=20

Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele

Total R=20+20

=40

Alleles For B

BB=10

B=10×2

=20

Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2

RB=20

B=20

Total B= 20+20

=40

Total alleles in pop add

40+40

=80

Frequency of R

Total of R/Total Alleles

=40/80

=0.5

8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers

RR=10

R=10x2

=20

RB=10

R=10

Total R= 20+10

=30

How have useful traits been accumulated in plants and animals over the centuries?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Useful traits have been accumulated in plants and animals over the centuries by how plants have undergone through certain phases, specifically called selection. Most of these traits are accumulated naturally but others may be acquired in the opposite way through man-made cultivation. Hope this answers your question.

In two or more complete sentences, describe the similarities between tornados and hurricanes.
Ann [662]
      Tornadoes<span> are often visible as a funnel cloud. Perhaps the only </span>similarity between tornadoes and hurricanes<span> is that they both contain strong rotating winds that can cause damage. 

Hope this helps :)

A meter is an SI unit. Which quantity might you measure in meters?
earnstyle [38]

Explanation :

The modern form of calculating any parameter is called the international system of units.

Meter, kilogram, Newton etc are the SI units of length, mass and force respectively. To express any quantity it is required to first convert it into SI units.

The length, breadth, distance and height of an object is measured in meters.

For example, Newton is the SI unit of force. Force is the product of mass and acceleration. The SI unit of mass is Kg while the SI unit of acceleration is m/s^2. So, the Newton is equivalent to Kg\ m/s^2.

Cystic fibrosis is an example of a genetic disease caused by the deletion of a nucleotide. what is the term for this type of mut
Molodets [167]
This is called a frameshift mutation....

Losing one nucleotide would cause the entire framework of codons (the 3 nucleotide set that codes for the amino acids) to move off by 1 which results in likely completely different amino acids being called for when the protein is built. 

In the case of CF, the normal CFTR gene which codes for Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Receptor - a membrane protein, with a point mutation would not be made properly and is therefore not placed into the membrane of the cells of the offspring - this protein is very important in moving sodium into the cell - if this is messed up it results in disease.

Note that CF can result in a number of different types of mutations to the CFTR gene...a frameshift mutation is just one way.

Is Retinoblastoma codominant?
sashaice [31]
The correct answer is no.
<span>The development of retinoblastoma occurs as a consequence of mutation of genes RB1 or MYCN. Those mutations occur in the early stages of fetal development and affect the way in which cells grow and develop within the body. The more common is the defective RB1 gene that can be inherited from either parent. The expression of the RB1 allele is autosomal dominant.</span>
