Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: A (dominant) and a (recessive). Only homozygous individu

The answer is the option B. 4%
To have two copies of the recessive a allele, consider acquiring the a allele twice as two independent events (multiply probabilities).

(.2)(.2) = .04 = 4%

Which of the following best explains why air pollution that was once blamed for global cooling is now considered responsible for
STatiana [176]

Answer: c. Scientists mistakenly thought pollution reflected sunlight and heat rather than absorbed it.

Scientist mistakenly thought pollution reflected sunlight and heat rather than absorbed it. This best explains that air pollution that was once blamed for global cooling is now considered responsible for global warming because the carbon dioxide from greenhouse effect will reflect the sunlight and will split the UV rays and prevent them to enter inside the earth. But carbon dioxide is responsible for increasing the global temperatures.

Carl Woese and collaborators identified two major branches of prokaryotic evolution. What was the basis for dividing prokaryotes
Natali [406]

Answer:

d) genetic characteristics such as ribosomal RNA sequences

Explanation:

Carl Woese and his collaborators identified two major branches of prokaryotic evolution which are bacteria and archaea. They used 16S rRNA sequencing to study the similarities and differences between archaea and bacteria.

After sequencing the complete genome structure of Methanococcus jannaschii in 1966 which is an archaea they concluded that bacteria are more closely related than humans than bacteria.  

After many years Carl Woese gave the three-domain system which divides prokaryotes into archaea and bacteria according to differences in their rRNA sequencing. Eukarya was the third domain. So the correct answer is d.
