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    x
X  XX  Xx
x  Xx   xx

Why do living things depend on diffusion?
mylen [45]
Living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. They also get rid of many of waste materials in this way. For example, Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata. It does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf as the cells are using it up. Outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. Carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf down this concentration gradient :)
