Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

You're losing sleep or skipping physical activities due to technology use. It's causing you stress or anxiety, or you're noticing physical side effects, such as tension headaches, eye strain, muscle pain, or overuse injuries.

Positives:

Technology, which brings together tools to promote development, use and information exchange, has as its main objective of making tasks easier and the solving of many problems of mankind. When technology progresses and makes our lives even more convenient, we must stress how beneficial it is to our lives

All of these components are reservoirs of carbon. The cycle is usually discussed as four main reservoirs of carbon interconnected by pathways of exchange. The reservoirs are the atmosphere, terrestrial biosphere (usually includes freshwater systems), oceans, and sediments (includes fossil fuels).

A mutation in a gene in the fruit fly Drosophila was found to affect eye color. The protein affected was found to be completely
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. A reasonable explanation for the change in levels of protein is that the mutation occurs in the promoter of the gene, within several hundred base pairs of the start of transcription.

Explanation:

In genetics, a promoter can be described as a region where the RNA polymerase binds initially and starts transcription. The promoter is usually present near to the gene that has to be transcribed. The rate of transcription is controlled by the promoter region too. Hence, the correct option is D. The promoter region for the eye colour was changed due to mutation.

Other options are false because a change in a codon or base pair would have changed proteins being formed and would not have slowed the process.
