Answer:
0.4550
Explanation:
In this example, R allele is dominant, so individuals RR and Rr can roll their tongues. If in a population of 1000 gorillas, there are 575 gorillas who can roll their tongues, they will be RR and Rr.
In this case, there is Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium, so the following will be true:
Where:
frequency of RR
frequency of Rr
frequency of rr
The question is what is the frequency of heterozygotes, or, what is the value of 2pq.
We know that RR+Rr is 575 individuals in a population of 1000, or 0.575.
In other words:
So, it is possible to find 
:
Now, there are two alleles in the population, so the following will be true:
It is possible to find q (the frequency of allele r) and p (the frequency of allele p):
Therefore:
Now, the frequency of heterozygotes or 2pq is:
Answer:
Light, Temperature, Humidity, Wind, and Soil water
Explanation:
Plants transpire more rapidly in the light than in the dark. This is largely because light stimulates the opening of the stomata (mechanism). Light also speeds up transpiration by warming the leaf.
Plants transpire more rapidly at higher temperatures because water evaporates more rapidly as the temperature rises. At 30°C, a leaf may transpire three times as fast as it does at 20°C.
The rate of diffusion of any substance increases as the difference in concentration of the substances in the two regions increases.When the surrounding air is dry, diffusion of water out of the leaf goes on more rapidly.
When there is no breeze, the air surrounding a leaf becomes increasingly humid thus reducing the rate of transpiration. When a breeze is present, the humid air is carried away and replaced by drier air.
A plant cannot continue to transpire rapidly if its water loss is not made up by replacement from the soil. When absorption of water by the roots fails to keep up with the rate of transpiration, loss of turgor occurs, and the stomata close. This immediately reduces the rate of transpiration (as well as of photosynthesis). If the loss of turgor extends to the rest of the leaf and stem, the plant wilts.
1. C- abiotic factors are non living
2. C?- oxygen is the only one which is an input of photosynthesis
1. The answer is; soil. When rock weathers, it disintegrates into small and smaller particles. When these fine rocks particles combine with organic matter from living organisms, they make soil. The mineral component of the soil is therefore similar to that of the parent rock from which it came from.
2. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of the rock mineral with ‘chemicals’ or other compounds. These may include reaction with organic acids or acidic rainwater. Due to the chemical reaction, the rock chemical composition changes and the physical appearance may also look different.
3. The answer is limestone rocks. They are made of carbon-carbonate minerals. Carbon carbonate is easily dissolved by acids include slightly acidic rainwater/ precipitation.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 (carbon dioxide + water → carbonic acid)
H2CO3 + CaCO3 → Ca(HCO3)2 (carbonic acid + calcium carbonate → calcium bicarbonate)
4. Weathering of rocks is slower in cold regions than dry regions. This is because cold places do not encourage chemical weathering. Chemical weathering requires higher temperatures to increase the energies of the chemical atoms so that they react fast.
