84%

84% of the population of mice would be heterozygous.

<h3>What does heterozygous mean?</h3>

Heterozygous refers to the presence of two different allele types for the same gene. For a single gene, these alleles display two distinct character types. An illustration would be someone with an allele for both brown and black hair.

There are 200 mice in total, 168 of which are brown.

By the Hardy–Weinberg (HW) equilibrium

q² (bb) = (200 - 168) /200 = 32 / 200 = 0.16

q: √ 0.16 = 0.4

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 =  0.6

p² (BB) = 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.36

Thus, 84% of the population of mice would be heterozygous.

<h3>What is meant by population heterozygosity?</h3>
  • Given that q2 is significantly smaller than 2pq when q is close to zero and p2 is significantly smaller than 2pq when p is close to zero, rare alleles are mostly found in heterozygotes.
  • This is known as population heterozygosity.

Why do plants contain the<br> greatest amount of energy in the<br> food pyramid?
Llana [10]

Answer:

According to the pyramid of energy, the energy content is maximum in autotrophs or producers. Autotrophs are the plants which prepare their food by photosynthesis. They are the primary producers and primary source of food energy. The flow of energy is unidirectional from producer to consumer level.

List some fungal adaptations associated with the absorption of nutrients.
Nutka1998 [239]
Fungi are effective decomposers, saprophytic fungi grow towards their food source, mycelia produce extracellular enzymes to digest food outside of hyphae, saprophytic fungi like miners: they blast away lignin to expose cellulose, fungi use other enzymes to degrade cellulose to glucose.
