Biology
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

0.547

Explanation:

Given -

Total Population - 500

Individuals with homozygous HbA/hbA genotype - 150

Individuals with homozygous hbs/hbs genotype -150

Individuals with heterozygous hba/hbs genotype -  200

Let us assume the given population is in Hardy Weinberg' equilibrium

The frequency of individuals in the given population with homozygous HbA/hba genotype is equal to number of individuals with homozygous HbA/hba genotype divided by total population.

\frac{150}{500} \\= 0.3

The frequency of hba allele is equal to

\sqrt{0.3} \\= 0.5477
