What probably accounts for the switch to DNA-based genetic systems during the evolution of life on Earth?

#11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. DNA is chemically more stable and replicates with fewer errors (mutations) than RNA.

  2. Only DNA can replicate during cell division.

  3. RNA is too involved with translation of proteins and cannot provide multiple functions.

  4. DNA forms the rod-shaped chromosomes necessary for cell division.

 In a human population, the gene frequencies of the alleles for the ABO system are as follows:

A = 29%                         B = 7%                                    0=64%

Assuming complete random mating and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

What are the blood type A frequencies in this population?
