Ratling [72]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The main function of the virion is to deliver its DNA or RNA genome into the host cell so that the genome can be expressed (transcribed and translated) by the host cell. The viral genome, often with associated basic proteins, is packaged inside a symmetric protein capsid.

Explanation:

what is  a virus A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses infect all life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Since Dmitri Ivanovsky's 1892 article describing a non-bacterial pathogen infecting tobacco plants and the discovery of the tobacco mosaic virus by Martinus Beijerinck in 1898, more than 9,000 virus species have been described in detail of the millions of types of viruses in the environment. Viruses are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth and are the most numerous type of biological entity. The study of viruses is known as virology, a subspeciality of microbiology.

Question involving the equations for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (A^2+2Aa+a^2=1, A+a=1)
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Frequency of dominant allele is 0.9029

Explanation:

Total number of organisms = 12,845

Number of organisms representing dominant trait = 11,596. These organisms might have heterozygotes with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Hence, Number of organisms with recessive alleles = 12845 – 11596 = 1249

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 1249/12845 = 0.0971

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1- q = 1-  0.0971 = 0.9029
