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

Why do cells tend to have more ADP molecules than ATP molecules
LenKa [72]

The reason why the cells have more ADP than ATP molecules is that the cells have the tendency to use more ATP, rather than restore ADP molecules.

When the body produces energy, in order to be able for it to be released in the body and to be used by the body, the ATP molecules break up. During that break up of the ATP molecule it actually loses one phosphate group, thus becoming an ADP molecule. Since this process is going on constantly, the ATP molecules are constantly breaking up thus resulting in constant new ADP molecules, so they are easily becoming outnumbered.

How could the activity of a farm affect the health of a nearby water source?
Katena32 [7]

Answer: Fertilizers and pesticides contribute to runoff that goes into the water, causing habitat degradation.

Explanation:

Fertilizers and pesticides are the chemical formulations which are added to the agricultural field so as to enhance the growth of the crops and raising their yield. The runoff is the water erosion. In runoff water from any source such as rainwater, water from the snow melt and water from the river stream flows over the surface of soil. It remains unabsorbed within the soil. Such water flows with an appropriate speed and mixes with the water reservoir.

Thus according to the given situation, the fertilizers and pesticides along with the water runoff will be added to the water reservoir. As a result of this the increase in abundance of chemicals in the water source can make the water habitat unfit for the survival of aquatic animals due to contamination.
