In studying the gene pool of a population, you find that 21% of the population exhibits the recessive trait for eye color and th

e other 79% of the population exhibits the dominant trait. The dominant allele has complete dominance over the recessive allele. How would you use this information to solve for the frequency of the recessive allele?

In order to solve this problem we use these formula:
<span>p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1p + q = 1p = % dominant allele in the population
q = % recessive allele in the population
p2 = % homozygous dominant individuals
q2 = % homozygous recessive individuals
2pq = % heterozygous individualsFrom the given, we haveq2 = 21%Simply taking the square root,q = 4.58%</span>

Answer:

popcorn kernels aren't living things

Explanation:

characteristics they have that show proof they are living organisms:

• movement when exposed to heat

• irritability/sensitivity since they react to change of temperature

• growth since when they are exposed to high temperatures they grow and become bigger

We can determine if they are living or not by:

• seeing if they respire

• seeing if they need nourishment

• seeing if they can excrete

• seeing if they can reproduce

In conclusion they aren't living things

The arctic fox and gray fox evolved from the same species over thousands of years. can you place these steps in the process of a
elena55 [62]
Allopatric speciation, also referred to as geographic speciation, is a method of the formation of new species due to isolation of the species from one another through geographic means.

The first step in this process is geographic isolation, which means that the original population is divided into two groups due to geographical reasons such as movement of continents or formation of water bodies.

Next, the species are subjected to different selection pressures due to their different environments. Eventually, the gene pool becomes very different for the two species due to the different selection pressures and because they are not allowed to mix.

Finally, after enough time passes, speciation occurs, which means that the two populations cannot breed to form fertile offspring.

What is the similarity and difference for j and k
valentina_108 [34]

Your right J is sexual reproduction, and K is asexual reproduction. But sexual reproduction requires the presences of a male and a female. But other asexual reproduction doesn't, and just requires sexual maturity. They produce offspring in the form of spores for example.
