In a certain population of rabbits, the allele for brown fur is dominant over the allele for white fur. If 20 out of 100 rabbits

have white fur, what is the allele frequency for the recessive allele? The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: [homozygous dominant]2 + 2[heterozygous] + [homozygous recessive]2 = 1

I believe it gives you the answer. It should be one fifth or 20%. #TeamAlvaxic

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 and p + q = 1

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Here in this question, 20 out of 100 rabbits have white fur which means that the % of homozygous recessive individuals is  

= 20/100 = 0.2

q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals = 0.2

q = square root of 0.2

q = 0.44 = frequency of the recessive allele in the population = 44%

<span>The scientist that did NOT contribute to the idea of natural selection is <span>none of the above. The answer is letter D. Both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace contribute to the natural selection and are biologist. Darwin hypothesized  his theory of evolution while Wallace supplied Darwin with birds for study only to found out that both have the same hypothesis regarding natural selection.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Cycle energy and matter to support the biosphere as a closed energy system

Explanation:  

The earth as we know it is a closed energy system that is, matter cannot be introduced or removed from it. Sometimes, rare meterites enter into the system with minimal or no disruption.

Also, energy can enter and leave. The energy mostly referenced here is the sun.

Within the earths system, the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere materials and energy go through a cycle which helps to support life.

For example, water when heated up by the sun rises as vapour from the earth and oceans into the atmosphere where it cools and condenses. When it cools and condenses, it , in the form of rain, comes down on the earth and oceans. As rain falls down to the earth and runs off the rocks, rocks are broken down into smaller fragments and soils.  The hydrosphere comprises of all water bodies on earth. Besides the vapours which are evaporated from the same into the atmosphere, when volcanoes erupt they also send vapourised water into the atmosphere.

So because the earth is a closed system, a change in one sphere effects a change in others. An example is a change in the water cycle.

Cheers
