The frequency of the recessive allele for the left handle will be in this case equal to q^2 = 0.25 >> q = 0.5.

<h3>What is the Hardy Weinberg principle?</h3>

The Hardy Weinberg principle is a model used in population genetics to estimate genotypic and allele frequencies.

The Hardy Weinberg principle states that the sum of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in a population is equal to 1 (p + q = 1).

This principle also states p2 + q2 + 2pq = 1, where p^2 is the dominant homo-zygous allele, 2pq the heterozygous frequency and  q^2 the recessive homo-zygous frequency.

In this case, 9 individuals represent 25% (q^2 = 0.25), thereby the feecuency of q is equal to √0.25 = 0.5.

hodyreva [135]
<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>

Answer:

The small intestine is about 20 feet (6 meters) long and folds many times to fit in the abdomen. Although it is longer than the large intestine, it is called the small intestine because it is smaller in width.

Explanation:

1) The male frogs croak to attract mates. They can also visually attract females by displaying vibrant colors. They compete by comparing who calls louder

2) This aids in survival because this ensures that only healthy frogs get to pass down their genes. Unhealthy frogs will not be selected by females. This is called sexual dimorphism

3) The hummingbird displays its impressive tails which they move around to attract females. They may perform aggressive movements against other competing males.

4) These strategies are very important to maintain a diverse and healthy population in a community of animals.
