Answer:

The correct answer would be B-80/200.

Allele frequency is defined as relative occurrence of the allele at a particular locus in a given population.

We have a sample population of 100 chickens where

Frequency of homozygous dominant trait (CC) =  45

Frequency of homozygous recessive trait (cc) = 25

Frequency of heterozygous dominant trait (Cc) = 30

Total alleles would be = 100 x 2 = 200

Total number of observed copies of C (dominant allele) = (45 x 2) + 30 = 120

Similarly, number of observed copies of c (recessive allele) = (25 x 2) + 30 = 80.

Hence, the frequency of allele C = 120/200 = 0.6

Frequency of allele c = 80/200 = 0.4

A _____ remains when the nitrogen-containing portion of an amino acid is removed. select one:
Alona [7]
The correct answer is C.
Amino acids consist of two different parts, the nitrogen-containing portion (NH2 group, dor the amino acid) and the carbon skeleton, containing the COOH, the acidic part. Two amino acids form bonds between their amino and acidic parts and form peptides that build up to proteins.
