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.

Briefly explain how producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers are related in an environment.
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Producers are very important to ecosystem reason being without the producers we would not be able to survive. Producers make their own food by use of sun which turns simple raw materials into food.
 Herbivores are consumers who eat only green plants. Omnivores eat animals and plants. Scavengers only eat dead organisms. Scavengers help the environment in that they eat dead organisms and decomposes the broken organic material down to the raw material.

nordsb [41]
The reason why nost scientists thought  that the first true cells formed on Earth were anaerobic is being shown in the second option :B. because there was no oxygen on early Earth. Paying attention to this fact scientists discovered that first cells were prokaryotes and greatest part of them created oxygen as a toxic by-product of their own metabolism which make them understand how the planet was provided with oxygen and made a conclusion that first cells were anaerobic.
