<u>Answer:</u> B. Pond
<u>Reasoning:</u> A lake is typically large and have a large dept, same with an ocean(But an ocean is much larger) so the temperature won't be constant.
A lagoon is a moving body of water that covers small bodys of sand or coral.
Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.
<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>
The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>
<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>
where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of
the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the
frequencies of the genotypes.
<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15
To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is
used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85
Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the
frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225
Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
The choice that best fits and answers the question is;
D: absorption
I hope this answer is sufficient and has aided you.
