Answer: B
Explanation: Traits usually die off when they are unneeded by the organism, or if the trait causes harm to the organism's survival. Through natural selection, over time, the organisms with the best combination of traits for its survival will become the dominating species, and those with weaker traits may not survive long enough to pass off their traits to future offspring.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Removal of introns
Explanation:
the reduction in the sequence is as a result of the removal of introns. Introns are actually non-coding regions and do not code for proteins. they are usually spliced out.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
True
Explanation:
An independent variable is the variable you think is the cause,while a dependent variable is the effect. you manipulate the independent variable and measure the outcome in the dependent variable.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct option is;
D. 45%
Explanation:
From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;
p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1
p + q = 1
Where:
p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population
q = Recessive allele frequency in the population
p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant
q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive
2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population
The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86
The number of individuals in the population = 200
The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43
Therefore;
q = √0.43 = 0.656
p + q = 1
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344
∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344
The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: Horizon O forms from organic material. And Horizon C is least affected by the soil formation process. Bedrock lies below the soil layers.
