Sustainability is a word that is very difficult to define as it is in constant discussion and used with multi-dimensional purposes. In the most colloquial language it is used to refer to the decisions, actions and dispositions to cover the present needs without leaving out the future generations. In other words it deals with a responsible use of resources in order to maitain them over the years. As the industrial era has passed, humans have realized that most of the resources, although renewable, are desapearing because they do not have time to finish their renovation process. Sustainability deals with the decisions that need to taken in order to assure the supply and standar of life over the next decades.

A.
The genotype frequencies can be determined by dividing the number of individuals with a genotype by the total number all the individuals.
FF genotype frequency:
98÷200=0,49. There are approximately 5 homozygous dominant mice in 10.
Ff genotype frequency:
84÷200=0,42. There are approximately 4 heterozygous mice in 10.
ff genotype frequency:
18÷200=0,09. There are approximately 1 homozygous recessive mouse in 10.

B.
To determine the frequency of an allele we can divide the number of times that the allele appears by the total number of alleles.
F allele frequency:
 $\frac{(98*2)+84}{400}$ =0.7
There are 7 F alleles in 10 random alleles.
f allele frequency:
$\frac{84+(18*2)}{400}$ =0.3
There are 3 f alleles in 10 random alleles.

As part of an experiment on circadian rhythms, a laboratory rat’s brain has been lesioned. The animal is now falling asleep and

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:the part of the brain that has most likely been damaged in this experiment is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) found in the hypothalamus of the brain.

Explanation:

circadian rhythms are behavioural changes that respond to light and darkness in an organisms environment. The sleep-inducing wake cycle is a good example of a circadian rhythm. In the experiment, the disruption of the mouse SCN led to development of imbalances in the circadian rhythm of sleep and wake cycle leading to falling asleep and waking up at random times of the day and night. I hope this helps. Thanks
