Answer:

Number of heterozygous population 64

Explanation:

Given data:

Total population of chicken 200

Number of chicken having  featherless legs 128, that represent q2 (as they are homozygous recessive)

Total number of chickens = 200

Therefore, the value of q^2 = \frac{128}{200} = 0.64

q^2 = 0.64

so q = 0.8, and

p = 1 - q

   = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2

The frequency of2pq = 2 \times  0.8 \times 0.2 = 0.32

Therefore, Number of heterozygous population= 0.32 \times  200 = 64

Bad White [126]
<span>The high-frequency hearing loss is the high frequency hearing loss when a person loses their ability to hear sounds at the upper end of the alphabet frequencies. For people with HFHL, it can be as if someone has removed certain letters from you in speech. This makes it difficult for them to hear someone with a hearing loss on that frequency.</span>

How did domestication of plants and animals lead to the development of towns?
GarryVolchara [31]
<span>At first early human beings had to rely on hunting and gathering in order to survive.  During this period they were able to identify some plants that can be edible.  They were also able to learn how to use traps to capture animals.  Through their hunting and gathering, they eventually learned how to plant and how to gather animals and raise them in one spot.  In time, they were able to raise enough plants and animals for their needs that some of these early humans can now settle in one area rather than roam the land in search of food.  Eventually these small groups would grow in number and from a small family, you now have large population living in one place and that is how towns began.</span>
