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

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<em>B,  Preparing for the​ experiment, several slides were fixed with dye.</em>

Explanation:

<h3>Modifiers</h3>

Modifiers are simple words or phrases used to add emphasis to another word in a sentence. Adjectives and adverbs are used to provide emphasis to nouns and verbs respectively. Clauses and phrases can also be used as modifiers in a sentence. <em>The </em><em>nice </em><em>Child; </em><em> </em>In the example, the adjective shows us that the Child is nice and it is the modifier.

<h3>Dangling Modifiers</h3>

A modifier is considered dangling when the word that its will modifier is not contained in the sentence. For example, the nice ........; the nice in this example is dangling because it does not have a word to modify.

Preparing for the​ experiment, several slides were fixed with dye  contains a dangling modifier. "Preparing for experiment" is  expressing an action, but the person experimenting is not known.  Since the person performing the experiment is not known the phrase "<em>preparing for the experiment</em>" is considered a dangling modifier because it is not modifying any word in the sentence.
