You are a population geneticist and you have recently visited a remote pacific island where you have discovered a race of giant

purple-skinned, seven-toed, three-horned dragons. in examining the new race you have discovered that a small number of the dragons have only six toes as opposed to seven and it seems to be genetically inherited trait. after a population survey, you have found that in a population of 1,378 dragons, 174 of them have only six toes. assuming the six-toed organisms are carrying a recessive trait, calculate the gene frequencies and the percentage of homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and recessive individuals on the island

Use the Hardy Weinburg equation of allelic frequency.

P2+2pq+q2=1

174/1378 = 0.126 = q2

Therefore q2 = 0.126; q = 0.355

If q = 0.355 and we understand that p + q = 1, then

P = 1 – 0.355 = 0.645

To find homozygous dominant population (p2);

(0.645)2 x 1378 = 0.416 x 1378 = 573

Heterozygous popualiton (2pq);

(2 x 0.645 x 0.355) x 1378 = 0.458 x 1378=  631

Recessive indviduals (q2) =  174

Answer:

A) Light pollution both attracts and repels migratory birds

In addition to the many hazards that exist in urban areas, cities typically lack the food resources and cover that birds need during migration or when raising their young. ... Darkening skies at night during migration season makes it easier for birds to navigate.

Explanation:

Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funneled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.

Why do most angiosperms have alternate phyllotaxy, with leaf emergence at an angle of 137.5° compared to leaves above and below?
Elanso [62]

Answer: The answer is D: to allow maximum exposure to light and to reduce shading of lower leaves.

Explanation:

The arrangement of leaves on a Stem is known as Phyllotaxy. It is used to enable them obtain maximum exposure to sunlight.

Leaves are classified as either alternate, spiral or opposite.

Leaves with alternate pattern arise at a different point (node) on the stem. This helps reduce shading of the lower leaves.

What must have been present for life to begin the process of evolution by Natural Selection?
TEA [102]

A population of organisms must exist. There must be variation among the members of the population. There must be a mechanism by which some members of the population can produce more offspring than other members. There must be a mechanism by which the variation among members of the population is passed on to their offspring.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the ventral respiratory group

Explanation:

The respiratory centers are present in the brain stem. Five major respiratory group are Dorsal respiratory group, Ventral respiratory group, Pontine respiratory group, Pneumotaxic center and Apneustic center.

Ventral respiratory group controls the process of respiration. The neurons of ventral respiratory group become active during forceful breathing and may result in inspiration.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
