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

What role do nerve cells play in the human body? They allow the body to react to stimuli. They regulate the exchange of chemical
Alex

The right option is; They allow the body to react to stimuli.

Nerve cells, (also called neurons) are specialized cells that are found in their millions in the nervous system. Nerve cells are created to stimulate other cells in the body.  They transmit messages in the form of electrical signals within the body, and they allow the body to respond to stimuli. Neurons are grouped into three types which are; sensory neurons, motor neurons and association neurons.
