Answer: The frequency of brown beetles is 0.32.
Explanation: The frequency of A1 allele is 0.8. As p+q=1, or the sum of dominant and recessive frequencies equals 1 or 100%:
1 - 0.8 = 0.2
In Hardy-Weinberg principle,
2pq represents the frequency of heterozygote individuals, so:
genotype A1A2 = 2*0.8*0.2 = 0.32.
Thus, the frequency of brown beetles (A1A2) in the population is 0.32.
Africa is the only place where giraffes live in the wild
Answer:
C
Explanation:
If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.
There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.
Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.
C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
I searched it online and it confirms my notes too
The correct answer is the option B) It does not allow for the accumulation of glycogen and, therefore, limits the organism's mobility.
Explanation:
In cellulose and chitin the arrangement of glycogen in in alternate arrangement that provides the support to the plants that makes it strong and the limits its mobility.
If plants lac their special arrangement of the glycogen in chitin and cellulose the water will flow in and it will not be stand upright.
Thus, the correct answer is option B) It does not allow for the accumulation of glycogen and, therefore, limits the organism's mobility.
