Answer:
Parasitism
Explanation:
Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship between two species in which one benefits and the other is harmed.
The finch that usually preys on insects located in cracks would most likely have beaks that are shaped as sharp and thin. To reach into crevices, a small and pointy beak will fit and make it easier for the finch to capture its small prey.
The frequency of carriers of the albino allele in the
population is. If
To solve this problem, we need to consider the Hardy-Weinberg
equation which is the following:
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
where: p = frequency
of the "A" allele
q = frequency of the "a"
allele
In other words, p^2 refers to the frequency of the
homozygous(dominant) genotype AA, q^2 represents the frequency of the
homozygous(recessive) genotype aa, and 2pq represents the frequency of the
heterozygous genotype.
In the problem, if q = 0.01, and p = 0.99, then the
frequency of carriers is 2pq which then becomes 0.0099 x 2. Thus, the predicted
frequency of Caucasians in the U.S. who carry a single albino allele is 0.0198.
