Answer:

Organic molecules are composed primarily of carbon atoms bound to other atoms and most inorganic molecules are not.

Explanation:

The organic compounds have as a fundamental element carbon, an element which is tetravalent because it has four covalent bonds. Carbon can form chains of variable length, thanks to that. You can also find hydrogen in those chains that's why we can say that the organic compounds are formed by hydrocarbon chains (carbon and hydrogen). Living things, we do synthesize organic and inorganic molecules and, of course we consumed both.

Interphase. Reason: interphase is the first stage of mitosis but since mitosis is the division of the nucleus prophase is actually the first stage.

In a hardy-weinberg population with two alleles, a and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.2. what is the

Allushta [10]

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows:
$( {p + q})^{2} = 1$
${p}^{2} +2pq + {q}^{2} = 1$
Where:
(convert all % to decimals)

p= homozygous dominant
q= homozygous recessive
pq= heterozygous

While you did not specify whether the 0.2 frequency was for dominant or recessive, we can still figure out the answer.

Using the 1st equation, we can solve for the other dominant/recessive frequency:

1-0.2=0.8

Meaning that:

p= 0.8 & q=0.2

If the heterozygouz frequency is 2pq, then it becomes a simple "plug & chug" sort of approach.

2(0.8)(0.2)= 2(0.16)= 0.32

So, the heterozygous frequency would be:
0.32

Hope this helps!

What is an amino group made out of? What specific parts of cells can they be found in?

EastWind [94]

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized structure that facilitates their gatekeeping function.
