Answer;

-Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions

Explanation;

-Carbohydrates and proteins are very important macromolecules that the body needs in significantly larger quantities together with lipids, as compared to other nutrients like vitamins or minerals, for a healthy life.

-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

D. 0.60

Explanation:

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotypic frequencies are:

  • freq AA = p²
  • freq Aa = 2pq
  • freq aa = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the Rh positive allele (A) and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the Rh-negative allele (a).

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, then 16% is Rh-negative and has the genotype <em>aa</em>. Therefore:

q² = 0.16

q = √0.16

q=0.4

And because p+q=1,

p = 1 - 0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of the Rh-positive allele is 0.6
