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)

Explain the difference between fire resistance and flame spread. describe the hazards firefighters should be aware of during the

Kaylis [27]

Fire resistance is where the amount of time that material has withstood a standard fire exposure whereas flame spread is the speed at which a flame spread along the surface of a specific material and is considered as the difference between fire resistance and flame spread.

Fire resistance is the resistance to fire that is for a particular specified time and is under circumstances of standard heat intensity. It will not structurally fail or else allow the transition of heat and also not permit the side away from the fire so as to become hotter than a temperature that is specified well.

Flame spread is described as the surface burning characteristics enhanced by building materials. It is the most tested property of the fire performance of a material.

Firefighters should be aware of the growth and spread of a fire as they face respiratory hazards in emergency situations which include oxygen deficiency, temperature elevation, smoke as well as toxic atmospheres. This can also affect both the physical and mental effects of the firefighter and would be worse if proper respirator precautions are not followed.

This indicates that firefighters are regularly exposed to certain concentrations of hazardous materials that include carcinogenic products such as carbon monoxide, benzene, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes as well as particulates.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A) drive reduction

Explanation:

Motivation is the urge that fuels and directs human with the energy to accomplish a given task. Motivational theory is accustomed with the role of searching for what drives individuals to work towards a goal or a task.

The drive reduction theory explains physiological ideology required bring out an aroused tension state that motivates an organism to satisfy the need.

Instincts Theory reflects innate and fixed pattern of complex behavior in animals. For example, making holes of crabs for safety.

Optimum Arousal Theory drive people to engage in certain activities in the quest to keep up with an optimum level of physiological arousal.

Hierarchy of motives: According to Maslow's pyramid, hierarchy of motives is explained based on need to satiate or quench the least physiological needs in order to be active before subsequent level needs.

1.) Librarians organize books according to a classification system. Describe another type of classification system you have seen

marysya [2.9K]

Answer and explanation:

<h3>1. Librarians organize books according to a classification system. Describe another type of classification system you have seen or used.</h3>

<u>Similar to the way librarians organize their books, taxonomists and biologists can classify living organisms</u>.

In terms of biology, the taxonomic categories of species is a system used to group different species according to their physical and functional characteristics and their phylogenetic relationship.

Taxonomy can classify living organisms into domains - according to their cellular characteristics, as well as placing them in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

For example, man (Homo sapiens) is classified, according to his taxonomy in:

<em>Domain: Eukarya. </em>
<em>Phylum: Chordata. </em>
<em>Class: Mammal. </em>
<em>Order: Primates. </em>
<em>Family: Hominids </em>
<em>Gender: Homo </em>
<em>Species: Homo sapiens. </em>

The taxonomic classification system is a way of establishing differences and similarities among living beings, as well as offering an approximation to their morphology and specific functions within nature.

<h3>2. Describe three examples of how are plants and animals different</h3>

Plants belong to the Plantae kingdom, while animals belong to the Animalia kingdom, and there are clear differences between them:

<em>Plants have no movement, while animals do. </em>
<em>Plant organisms are capable of processing their own nutrients (autotrophs), through sunlight, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water and inorganic nutrients from the soil. Animals (heterotrophic) require to obtain their nutrients by consuming plants or other animals. </em>
<em>In plants, plant cells have cloproplasts and chlorophyll, which are necessary for photosynthesis and to obtain energy substrate. The animal cell has mitochondria, which are in charge of cellular respiration, a process that provides them with energy. </em>

<h3>3. Describe three examples of how are plants and animals are similar</h3>

The similarities between plants and animals are based on the general characteristics of some living organisms:

<em>They are eukaryotic multicellular organisms, formed by biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. </em>
<em>They have the capacity to reproduce and respond to stimuli. </em>
<em>The metabolic pathways to carry out their organic processes - such as obtaining energy - are similar.</em>

<h3>4. What are some differences between plants and fungi? What specific characteristics that you observed from this activity might help you classify this organism?</h3>

Some differences between plants and mushrooms are:

<em>Plants are photosynthetic organisms, capable of processing their own nutrients. Fungi require feeding on organic matter (heterotrophic). </em>
<em>The nutrition of plants is by absorption of inorganic nutrients from the soil, while fungi perform an external digestion process and then make the absorption. </em>
<em>From the cellular point of view, the wall of the plant cells is predominantly cellulose, while in the fungi the main component of the cell wall is chitin. </em>

An observable characteristic that allows us to establish the difference between plants and fungi is that plants are generally green, due to the presence of chlorophyll, necessary to carry out photosynthesis, while fungi are of variable colors, such as white, yellow, reddish or brown (they lack chlorophyll).
