3. In one population, 18 individuals have long hair and 182 individuals have short hair. It is known thatmating has been random
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09

Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.

For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l

So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.

To calculate the frequencies:

Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)

p = 182/200 = 0.91

The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:

q = 18/200 = 0.09

Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.

!!!almost done!!!
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

Xylem cell is a plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

2. Phloem is the vascular tissue in charge of the transport and distribution of organic nutrients. The phloem is also a pathway to signaling molecules and has a structural function in the plant body.

3. Stomata are composed of a pair of specialized epidermal cells referred to as guard cells. Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.

4. Guard cells optimize leaf gas exchange in response to changing environmental conditions and their turgor is controlled by alterations in atmospheric CO2 concentration, light intensity, humidity, and the drought hormone abscisic acid.

What is an alpha and beta linkage in sugars?
Elodia [21]

The binding of sugars are called glycosidic bonds. These bonds are covalent bonds which, by definition, surround the anomeric carbon of a monosaccharide. Contrary to popular belief, the glycosidic bond does not necessarily have to be between two monosaccharides, just think about what happens in nucleotides, for example, where ribose establishes a glycosidic bond with the nitrogen base. Of course, it can also involve two monosaccharides, as is the case with bonds in oligosaccharides or polysaccharides, but this is not required to happen.

When a glycosidic bond is established, a water molecule is released and is therefore a condensation reaction. The oxygen atom and one hydrogen are released from the anomeric carbon, while the second hydrogen atom is released from the atom to which the anomeric carbon will bind.

Glycosidic bonds are also called alpha or beta bonds. This nomenclature depends on the configuration of the anomeric carbon involved in the glycosidic bond. That is, if the anomeric carbon is in the alpha configuration, the bond is of the alpha type, if it is in the beta configuration, the bond is of the beta type.

For greater understanding, please note the image below.
