<span>The answer is B. 72.25 percent.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>
<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1 </em>and <em>p + q = 1</em>
where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq</em> are the frequencies of the genotypes.
<span>The <em>p</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15
To calculate the <em>P</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula <em>p + q = 1</em> can be used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85
Knowing the frequency of the <em>P</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the frequency of the <em>PP </em>genotype (<em>p²</em>):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225
Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
Correct answer: D
A pollen is where male gametes are produced and so the number of chromosomes, as we are talking about gametes, is n. This means that the grain of pollen will only have a copy of each gene, and therefore only one allele for each gene - one S, and one T or t. So, the possible combinations are ST and St.
Answer:
social facilitation
Explanation:
The concept of social facilitation was first proposed by Norman Triplett. After observing a cycling event, in which he noticed that cyclist performed better when they have others around competing with them, rather than cycling alone just against time. This led him to duct an experiment where he gave some children strings to wound fishing reel. He observed that, children wound the fishing reel faster in the presence of other children performing similar task, when compared to when perform such task alone.
This concept discovered by Norman Triplett, best illustrates the concept of social facilitation, which posits that, individuals tend to perform better in the mere presence of others or when they perform a task with others, than when performing the task alone.
Answer:
Primers should be:
3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'
5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'
Explanation:
DNA replication occurs with the need for the presence of primers that are a small sequence of nitrogenous bases that will allow the initiation of replication.
Primers are extremely important in PCR and are represented as small pieces of single-stranded DNA that specify the region of DNA that should be replicated during PCR. These primers attach to the single strand of DNA by pairing the nitrogenous bases allowing the DNA polymerase to recognize where replication begins.
Regarding the question above, the primers should be:
3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'
5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'
