(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

Can someone please do a summary on how wind works? 7-9 sentences please I will mark brainliest!
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Wind is the movement of air. It forms when air moves from areas of high-pressure to areas of low pressure. These pressure differences are caused by temperature differences on Earth's surface. The movement is a result of different places on Earth receiving different amounts of energy from the sun. Two types of winds are global and local. Global wind systems determine weather patterns for the entire planet. Local winds are sea and land breezes that occur due to uneven absorption of solar energy.

hope this helps :D

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Cause: Earth’s magnetosphere traps radioactive  solar wind particles in bands around Earth → Space travel through the Van Allen  belts is dangerous.

Cause: Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field → Effect: Solar wind deflects toward the poles.

Cause: Solar wind particles interact with Earth’s  upper atmosphere → Effect: An aurora is created

Explanation:

I have been able to drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

When there is a trapping of radioactive solar wind particles in bands by the earth's magnetosphere, it becomes dangerous to travel in space through the Van Allen. Cosmic rays and solar particle add up to the additional hazards that it poses. A Van Allen radiation belt is known to be a zone  where energetic charged particles are found. Most of the energetic charged particles originate from the solar wind.  The solar wind  are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.

When the solar wind interacts with the earth's atmosphere, there is a collision of atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the earth's atmosphere. The energy that is formed is a colorful glowing halo which is known as an aurora.
