Answer:

The greatest cause of the worldwide loss of species is human population growth

Explanation:

Threats against biological diversity are caused by human population growth. This growth has decreased in developed countries and has increased in Africa, Latin America and Asia, specifying that in these continents there is a great biological diversity. Industrial capitalism and the needs of modern society have increased their demand for natural resources. The inefficient use of these resources is the most important cause in the loss of biological diversity

Members of the kingdom Plantae differ from members of the other kingdoms of Eukarya in that most members of the kingdom Plantae

Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation: Members of Kingom Plantae are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food via photosynthesis. They are multicellular organisms. On a cellular level, members of Kingdom Plantae have cell walls ( members of Kingdom Animalia lack cell walls in their cells, but have red blood cells instead)

Which statement best describes the cell membrane?

vredina [299]

Answer:C). A phospholipid bilayer with proteins

Explanation: A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids are non polar and hydrophobic while the phosphate groups are polar and hydrophilic. The hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids interact with each by facing each other, forming a bilayer with a fluid interior. The polar head groups face outward interacting with the external environment of the cell. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer and they float in this sea of phospholipids. Proteins anchored to the membrane through interactions between the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipids and the amino acid side chains of the proteins. These lipids and proteins swim laterally in each face of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

In guinea pigs hair straightness or curliness is thought to be governed by a single pair of alleles showing incomplete dominance

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Frequency of allele S is p $= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q $= 0.666$

The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

Given -

Number of individuals with straight hair $= 244$

Number of individuals with curly hair $= 444$

Number of individuals with Wavy hair $= 312$

Let "p" represents the frequency for allele for straight hair and "q" represents the frequency for allele for curly hair

$p^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "SS"

$p^{2} = \frac{244}{1000} \\= 0.244$

$q^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "CC"

$p^{2} = \frac{444}{1000} \\= 0.444$

$2pq$ represents the frequency of genotype "SC"

$2pq = \frac{312}{1000} \\= 0.312$

Frequency of allele S is p

$= \sqrt{0.244} \\= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q

tex]= \sqrt{0.444} \\= 0.666[/tex]

For being in Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p+q=1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.4939+0.666\neq 1$

hence, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
