Ans.

Fitness can be described as the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment. Adaptation can be defined as the process, by which organisms acquire useful traits that make them better suited to their environment.

Generally, adaptations lead to increase in fitness of organisms (or make them fit) that leads to increase in their survival chances. When organisms become able to adapt the new, changing environment, they are better able to live and reproduce.

Thus, fitness and adaptations are related to each other.

what does the term 2pq represent in the hardy-weinberg equation? the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals the frequency
Nostrana [21]

The term 2pq represented in the hardy-weinberg equation is the frequency of heterozygotes and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is Hardy-weinberg equation?</h3>

This mathematical equation is used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium and can be seen below:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where

p² is dominant homozygous frequency (AA)

2pq is heterozygous frequency (Aa)

q² is recessive homozygous frequency (aa).

The 2pq can be seen as the heterozygous frequency which is therefore the reason why option D which is frequency of heterozygotes was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

If all photosynthesizing organisms were removed from the planet would animals still be able to perform cellular respiration?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

This is because oxygen will not be available for breathing and energy will not be released for cellular activities because photosynthesizing organisms have chlorophyll and trap light energy ffrom sunlight , using carbondioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is the by product which is the gas that is inhaled by living organisms during respiration and also break glucose to release ATP. Therefore without these organisms, respiration will be difficult.
