Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is one of the most important vitamins found in citrus juices, including orange juice.<span> The temperature and storage time affects the percent of vitamin C content of orange fruits and orange juice. Different varieties of oranges also have different levels of vitamin C. The mid-season variety, Pineapple Orange had the highest levels, followed by the main early-season variety, Hamlin Orange. The late-season Valencia Orange had the lowest vitamin C content. Additionally, it was found that the longer the Valencia Orange fruit stayed on the tree, the lower the vitamin C level. </span>
It is estimated that _______________ of human DNA encodes protein.between eighty-five to ninety-five percent
between eighty-five to ninety-five percent
Assumptions:
1. Equilibrium has been reached for the allele proportions
2. Absence of <span>evolutionary influences such as </span>mate choice<span>, </span>mutation<span>, </span>selection<span>, </span>genetic drift<span>, </span>gene flow<span> and </span>meiotic drive<span>.

Defining L=long stem, l=short stem, and L is dominant over l.
f(x) = frequency of allele x (expressed as a fraction of population)
Then the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law applies:
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
where
f(LL)=p^2
f(Ll)=2pq
f(ll)=q^2
Given f(ll)=0.35=q^2, we have
q=sqrt(0.35)=0.591608
p=1-q=0.408392
=>
f(Ll)
=2pq
=2*0.408392*0.591608=0.483216
= proportion of heterozygous population
Answer: percentage of heterozygous population is 48.32%
