(will give brainiest if right) Peppered moths are dark colored when they carry the dominant (D) allele and light colored when th

ey are homozygous for the recessive (d) allele. A population of peppered moths was determined to produce eggs and sperm with the following allele frequencies: 0.15 (D) and 0.85 (d).
What are the genotype frequencies in the offspring of this population? Assume the conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium apply.

A. DD = 0.0625; Dd = 0.375; dd = 0.5625
B. DD = 0.375; Dd = 0.0625; dd = 0.5625
C. DD = 0.25; Dd = 0.50; dd = 0.25
D. DD = 0.0225; Dd = 0.255; dd = 0.7225

D. DD = 0.0225; Dd = 0.1275; dd = 0.7225

The value of Dd is different in question.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Dark colored = DD, Dd

light colored = dd

Frequency of allele D = 0.15

Frequency of allele d = 0.85

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is applied.

DD = 0.15 X 0.15 = 0.0225

Dd = 0.15 X 0.85 = 0.1275

dd = 0.85 X 0.85 = 0.7225

Therefore, DD = 0.0225; Dd = 0.1275; dd = 0.7225

1. Explain why the greenhouse effect is necessary but how an enhanced greenhouse effect can harm the planet.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

1. The enhanced greenhouse effect disrupts the Earth's climate equilibrium and has led to an increase in the global average surface temperatures.

2. Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"   1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping.

3. Greenhouse gases absorb some of the energy and trap it in the lower atmosphere. Less heat radiates into space, and Earth is warmer. ... Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide are naturally present in Earth's atmosphere.

4. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change.

5. As climate change caused by burning fossil fuels drives temperatures higher, the ocean warms, causing it to expand. ... Scientists have found that water draining from melting glaciers and ice sheets in polar and mountain regions is now also contributing to this rise in sea levels.

Temka [501]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.

Explanation:

  • In the given experiment,
  1. The meat in the open jars can be directly accessed by the adult flies for consumption. While accessing the food, some of these adult flies can lay egg into the jars which hatch to give rise to new maggots.
  2. The meat in jars closed by a gauze is exposed to the air but cannot be accessed by the adult flies as the flies are prevented from entering into the jar due to the presence of the gauze. As a result of this the flies do not consume meat, nor do they lay eggs and so no maggots will appear in this jar.

If you weighed 150 pounds on Earth how much would you weigh on the moon?
Ivanshal [37]
You multiply 150lbs by 0.17( gravitational pull of the moon), so a 150 pound person would weigh about 25.5 pounds.

150lbsX 0.17= 25.5lbs on the moon

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Interior nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid

Explanation:

These are viruses, and their structure is best explained as <u>interior nucleic acid genome surrounded by a capsid.</u>

Capsids are the protein shells. They're not made of nucleic acid.

Viruses contain genetic information, which is nucleic acids like DNA or RNA, inside the capsid. It's protected by the protein layer.
