Answer:

The correct answer would be C. 0.60

It can be calculated with the help of Hardy-Weinberg equation i.e

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

Also, p + q = 1

  • where p represents the frequency of dominant allele.
  • q represents the frequency of recessive allele.
  • p² represents the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype .
  • q² represents the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype .
  • 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous genotype.

Number of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36

Number of homozygous recessive (yy) = 16

Number of heterozygous dominant (Yy) = 48

Total number of plants = 100

Now, frequency of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36/100 = 0.36

Therefore, p² = 0.36

So, p = √0.36 = 0.60

Hence, frequency of dominant allele (Y) = 0.60

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The depth (distance from top to bottom) of the atmosphere is greatest at sea level and decreases at higher altitudes. With greater depth of the atmosphere, more air is pressing down from above. Therefore, air pressure is greatest at sea level and falls with increasing altitude

La destrucción experimental de proteínas presentes en la membrana plasmática afectará a procesos celulares, tales como la (el)
qaws [65]

Answer:

Ósmosis.

Explicación:

La destrucción experimental de proteínas presentes en la membrana plasmática afectará los procesos celulares, como la ósmosis, porque estas proteínas en la membrana plasmática son responsables del intercambio de materiales a través de la célula. Debido a la destrucción de proteínas, no se produjo la difusión de gases y materiales a través de la célula, lo que conduce a la muerte de la célula. La ósmosis es un proceso muy importante que permite a la célula difundir los materiales de desecho fuera de la célula y permite que los gases y la glucosa entren en la célula.

How do the three types of colorblindness differ in genotype and phenotype?
vfiekz [6]

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly  - phenotype:  reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue  

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.
