Heterozygous means that the bird(s) have the recessive and dominant genotypes. If you have 75% of a population of 4520 birds that have black feathers, that leaves 25% of the population to have white feathers. In order for 25% of the birds to have white feathers, the two genotypes must be Xx and Xx. This leaves the options for the following genotypes when using a punnet square (will add one at the bottom): XX, Xx, Xx, xx. This gives you the percentage of heterozygous birds, which is 50%. If you take 50% of 4520, (4520 x 1/2 = 2,260) that is the number of heterozygous birds in the population.
Final Answer: 2,260 birds are heterozygous.
Punnet Square:

X  XX  Xx
x  Xx   xx

Which of the following questions is most relevant to understanding the Calvin cycle?A) How does chlorophyll capture light?B) How
netineya [11]
The correct option is B.
There are two major stages in photosynthesis, the light reaction and the Calving cycle. The Calving cycle involves the fixation of the atmospheric carbon dioxide and the reduction of the fixed carbon dioxide into carbohydrate. The intermediate product from one turn of the Calving cycle are two glycealdehyde-3- phosphate molecules, each molecule is made up of three carbons.<span />
