Answer:

p represents the frequency of the dominant allele (in decimal form) of a gene

q represents the frequency of the recessive allele (in decimal form) of a gene

These 2 alleles are different; one is dominant, one is recessive.

p^2 = the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals in the population (decimal form)

2pq = the frequency of heterozygous individuals in the population (decimal form)

q^2 = the frequency of homozygous recessive in the population (decimal form)

<span>Not every member of a particular species (one kind of organism) must be able to reproduce in order for the species to survive. If you take homo sapiens for example (Humans) there are many males and females around the world who are sterile and unable to reproduce, yet you still see the human species flourishing. </span>

Genetics is the study of ________.

butalik [34]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.

Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the term ADAPTIVE RADIATION. African cichlids are a group of closely related fish species. There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>

Attached is the image respective of the question.

First, both the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm are hydrophilic. The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic hence it either faces the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm. The lipid tail of the phospholipid is hydrophobic hence it is confined in the middle of the plasma membrane. Both cytoplasmic and the extracellular fluid ends of the transmembrane protein are hydrophilic and the middle part of the transmembrane protein is hydrophobic.
