<h2>Distinct Heterozygous Genotypes </h2>

If there is a gene with four alleles A1, A2, A3, and A4 then six distinct heterozygous genotypes are possible because A1 cross A2, A1 cross A3, A1 cross A4, A2 cross A3, A2 cross A4, A3 cross A4 will be formed and other will be similar so therefore only six genotypes are possible for distinct heterozygous traits.

This can be solved either by using a Punnet Square or you can use the formula (n(n+1))/2, where n is the number of alleles. However, using either method will give you the number of possible genotypes regardless if it's homozygous or heterozygous. If we use the second formula, that will give you 10 possible genotypes. Since you only want to know the number of heterozygous genotypes, you should subtract the number of possible homozygous genotypes. In this case, there are four. That is (A1,A1), (A2,A2), (A3,A3), and (A4,A4). Knowing this, you'd be able to figure out that there are six heterozygous genotypes.

(A1,A2), (A2,A3), (A3,A4), (A1,A4), (A1,A3), (A2,A4)

Name 1 other discipline used in ecological studies and how it relates to ecology.
Lorico [155]

Behavioral Ecology and Ecophysiology examine adaptations of the individual to its environment.

The study of the effects and causes of variation in behavioral traits among people is the primary research focus of the study group Behavioral Ecology & Ecophysiology. Most studies are conducted inside an ethological framework, emphasizing all four critical aspects of animal behavior: function, evolution, causation, and development.

Using an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, we study procreation and sexual selection in various animal communities, but primarily in birds. While our primary study area is behavioral ecology, our present research interests range from physiology to population dynamics.

How does the intertidal zone differ from the near shore zone in marine ecosystems??
salantis [7]
The inter-tidal zone refers to an area that is under water during a high tide and exposed to the air at low tides. Organisms living in the inter-tidal zone must be adapted to living in an extreme environment. They must be able to survive for sometime without water and in water that can be high or low in salinity. The nearshore zone is always under water and is the area where waves can break in their approach to the shore. Organisms here are adapted to living completely submerged in water.
