Pku (phenylketonuria) is an autosomal recessive disease, in which the synthesis of amino acid tyrosine from phenylalanine is blocked. as a result, an excess of phenylalanine gets converted into phenylketones, which appear in the urine. in severe conditions it may also result in damage to the brain. the gene responsible for this is p, whereas the gene p is responsible for normal synthesis of tyrosine. in a small population of brazilian natives, the frequency of gene p, responsible for this disease, is 0.3. what must be the frequency of people who are heterozygous for this disease? ( p + q = 1, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1) a.0.56 b.0.35 c.0.42

The empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to a ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
