1. In a population of 200 field mice, 98 mice are homozygous dominant for brown fur (FF), 84 mice are heterozygous (Ff), and 18

mice are homozygous recessive and have white fur (ff).

A.
The genotype frequencies can be determined by dividing the number of individuals with a genotype by the total number all the individuals. 
FF genotype frequency:
98÷200=0,49. There are approximately 5 <span>homozygous dominant mice in 10.
Ff genotype frequency:
84</span>÷200=0,42. There are approximately 4 <span>heterozygous mice in 10.
ff genotype frequency:
18</span>÷200=0,09. There are approximately 1 <span>homozygous recessive mouse in 10.

B.
To determine the frequency of an allele we can divide the number of times that the allele appears by the total number of alleles.
F allele frequency:
</span>\frac{(98*2)+84}{400}<span>=0.7
There are 7 F alleles in 10 random alleles.
f </span>allele frequency:
\frac{84+(18*2)}{400}=0.3
There are 3 f alleles in 10 random alleles.<span>
</span>

Do you think evolution is still taking place in the Galapagos finches? Why or why not? .
erik [133]
Yes. Evolution never truly stops. There are always variations happening in the environment that organisms must adapt to in order to maintain homeostasis. t is a marker of time on all living matter. As time goes on, the world changes and so does the live that is sustained by it. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

How could the pressure of a gas increase if temperature is constant?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Gay Lussac's Law - states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. If you heat a gas you give the molecules more energy so they move faster. This means more impacts on the walls of the container and an increase in the pressure.
