Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

a girl pulling a sled with a mass of 6.0 kg to the left with a force of 10.0 N at a 30.0 degree angle. There is a 1.5 N force of
Aleonysh [2.5K]

For the girl pulling a sled with a mass of 6.0 kg t the left with a force of 10.0 N at a 30.0° angle, we have:

a) The normal force acting on the sled is 294 N.

b) The acceleration of the sled is 1.2 m/s².

a) We can calculate the normal force acting on the sled, with the sum of all the forces acting in the vertical direction:

(1)

Where:

W: is the weight force or force of gravity = 58.8 N

: is the component of the applied force in the y-direction

N: is the normal force =?

The vertical component of the force () can be calculated as follows:

(2)

Where:

F: is the applied force = 10.0 N

θ: is the angle (with the horizontal) = 30.0°

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

Hence, the normal force acting on the sled is 294 N.

b) The acceleration of the sled can be found with the forces acting on the x-direction:

Where:

a: is the acceleration =?

m: is the mass = 6.0 kg

: is the component of the applied force in the x-direction = Fcos(θ)

: is the force of friction = 1.5 N (it is negative because is in the opposite direction of motion)

Therefore, the acceleration is:

What are the roles of a catalyst in the energetics of a chemical reaction?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: catalysts lower the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation:

Catalysts are substances that in our bodies are commonly represented by enzymes (specialized proteins) and that are used in chemical reactions to speed them up.

In order to achieve this, catalysts lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, which is a value of energy that must be obtained for the reaction to actually happen.

Catalysts are constantly used in our bodies and are responsible for the proper functioning of every organ. These catalysts can be used over and over again because they are not consumed in the reaction.
