Biology
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Larger surface area to volume ratio increases the amount of area in contact with air in the lungs to allow for uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. Basically with a larger surface area, carbon dioxide in the blood capillaries are easily released and oxygen is easily taken up, increasing efficiency of gaseous exchange.

Assume a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the B gene, which has two alleles, B and b. In this population of 100,0
MArishka [77]

Answer:

160

Explanation:

If p = frequency of dominant allele and q = frequency of recessive allele according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

q² = frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here,

b = 4% = 0.04

bb = 0.04 * 0.04 = 0.0016

Number of individuals in population = 100000

Number of homozygous bb individuals = 0.0016 * 100000 = 160
