Answer:

This are our options to complete the question

-bottom-up and top-down hypotheses

-competitive exclusion

-keystone species

-resource partitioning

-character displacement

The CORRECT ANSWER IS resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is the division of certain limited resources by species to eliminate competition in an ecological niche in order to allow easy coexisting with one another

The creeper searches for insects by hunting from the bottom of the tree trunk to the top, whereas the nuthatch searches from the top of the trunk down to eliminate competition and allow for peaceful coexisting between them

A fruit fly population has a gene with two alleles, A1 and A2. Tests show that 70% of the gametes produced in the population con
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Given ,

A1 allele is carried by 70 % people

Let us assume A1 s dominant genotype

This means p= \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Thus, frequency of allele in the given population is 0.7

It is also given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium thus

p+q=1\\0.7+q=1\\q = 1-0.7\\q= 0.3

Frequency of fruit fly with genotype A2A2 will be

q^2\\= (0.3)^2\\= 0.09

As per Hardy-Weinberg's second equation of equilibrium

p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\0.49+0.09+2pq = 1\\2pq = 1-0.49-0.09\\2pq= 0.42

Hence, option C is correct
