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

Imagine you lost a case in a trial court and you believe a mistake was made. What can you do? Explain the way your case can move
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The case can move up to an appeal or superior court.

Explanation:

If a legal error made by the previous judge or peace is successfully argued to the appeal/superior court, then the case will be reheard. This process can continue up to the supreme court (the highest court of the land in most jurisdictions), where a final judgement will be made. No "moving up" can occur after the case is judged by the supreme court.

Write one paragraph that summarizes clearly why banks are important to the U.S. economy and how government
matrenka [14]

Banks are very important to the U.S. economy because they give us loans and help businesses. How government can affect banks is if the government does not have enough money, they can lower how much money they can put in a bank which could affect loans. The federal government should use credit because it would make it easier for people who don't have enough money to pay for things they need like food, water, and cloths. Another reason is that it would be a little easier for people because they do not have to pay directly but the money would be do at a specific time.
