<u>Answer</u>: Option A

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • A<em> fish ladder</em> is also known as fish steps, fish pass or fishway.
  • It is built around waterfalls, dams and locks.
  • The purpose of building a fish ladder is to<em> facilitate the natural migration of diadromous fishes.</em>
  • A fish ladder helps the fish to pass through the barriers by leaping up or swimming through the low steps of the ladder and reach into the water on the other side.
  • Since, without the fish ladder the barriers will not allow the migration of fishes, it is essential to be built around the dams, waterfalls and locks.

Trava [24]

Answer:

0.25%

Explanation:

20 people start the new population. So there are 20 genes or 40 alleles for the recessive disorder phenylketonuria. 2 out of 40 alleles are recessive for the condition hence frequency of the allele = 2/40 = 0.05

Frequency of the allele does not change when the population increases so it is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it, if q is the frequency of recessive allele, q² = frequency of the recessive condition

Here, q = 0.05 So,

q² = (0.05)² = 0.0025

In percentage, it is 100 * 0.0025 = 0.25%

Hence, incidence of phenylketonuria in the new population is 0.25%
