Answer:

Exons.

Explanation:

In mRNA maturation and processing, a complex called a splicesome essentially "cuts out", if you will, non-coding parts of the DNA sequence to be translated. The parts that are cut out are called "introns", and the parts that are left over that code for a protein sequence, are called "exons". Careful with the terminology. It seems counterintuitive that exons are the ones that stay (exon = exit? NO.) and introns (in, as in, stays in? NO.) are the ones that are cut out of the mature mRNA. Perhaps you can remember that the terms seem to be the opposite, that's how I remember it. Alright, good luck with all of this.

You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the R locus. Suppose

natulia [17]

Answer:

The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:

p + q = 1

r-6 + R = 1

0.2 + 0.8 = 1

Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64

The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04

And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32

What is the main source of energy for most organisms??

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The Sun is the main source of energy for most organisms

Explanation:

Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
