P2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

what does q2 represent

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Which of these is not a nucleotide base found in dna?

The diagram shows the results when two parents are crossed. the letters represent alleles for a trait that is controlled by three different genes. which best describes this inheritance pattern? multiple allele because a trait is controlled by three different genes polygenic because the offspring have alleles from both parents multiple allele because the offspring have alleles from both parents polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes
