Answer:

The Answer is

A: In order to release the energy found in food

Explanation:

Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. Carbon dioxide is the waste product of cellular respiration that you breathe out each time you breathe.

In guinea pigs hair straightness or curliness is thought to be governed by a single pair of alleles showing incomplete dominance

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Frequency of allele S is p $= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q $= 0.666$

The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

Given -

Number of individuals with straight hair $= 244$

Number of individuals with curly hair $= 444$

Number of individuals with Wavy hair $= 312$

Let "p" represents the frequency for allele for straight hair and "q" represents the frequency for allele for curly hair

$p^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "SS"

$p^{2} = \frac{244}{1000} \\= 0.244$

$q^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "CC"

$p^{2} = \frac{444}{1000} \\= 0.444$

$2pq$ represents the frequency of genotype "SC"

$2pq = \frac{312}{1000} \\= 0.312$

Frequency of allele S is p

$= \sqrt{0.244} \\= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q

tex]= \sqrt{0.444} \\= 0.666[/tex]

For being in Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p+q=1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.4939+0.666\neq 1$

hence, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

How many moles would be equal to 224 g of CO2?

IrinaVladis [17]

Explanation:

Standard volume=22.4 L

It means that 1 mole of any atom, molecule or ion occupies 22.4 L of volume at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure)

1 mole of CO2 = 22.4 L

Given volume = 224 mL = .224 L ( 1 L = 1000 mL)

No. of moles in .224 L = Given volume/Standard volume

= .224/22.4 = 0.01 mole

The number of major histocompatibility (MHC) protein combinations possible in a given population is enormous. However, an indivi

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.
