Why are communities that are more diverse usually more stable?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>It is going to depend on what you consider stable. A diverse population would be more resistant to disease because of simple biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease. You also have to take in to consideration things like the availability of modern medicine and the ability to be isolated during illness. </span><span> Personally I think it has to do with the fact that many of the worlds more diverse population centers are also many of the worlds largest population centers which make them less prone to invasion on that basis alone. </span>

In guinea pigs hair straightness or curliness is thought to be governed by a single pair of alleles showing incomplete dominance

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Frequency of allele S is p $= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q $= 0.666$

The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

Given -

Number of individuals with straight hair $= 244$

Number of individuals with curly hair $= 444$

Number of individuals with Wavy hair $= 312$

Let "p" represents the frequency for allele for straight hair and "q" represents the frequency for allele for curly hair

$p^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "SS"

$p^{2} = \frac{244}{1000} \\= 0.244$

$q^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "CC"

$p^{2} = \frac{444}{1000} \\= 0.444$

$2pq$ represents the frequency of genotype "SC"

$2pq = \frac{312}{1000} \\= 0.312$

Frequency of allele S is p

$= \sqrt{0.244} \\= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q

tex]= \sqrt{0.444} \\= 0.666[/tex]

For being in Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p+q=1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.4939+0.666\neq 1$

hence, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

An animal that does not have the traits to adapt to its surroundings will?

Gennadij [26K]

<h2>It may become endangered </h2>

Explanation: <u><em>If organisms cannot adapt to the changes in their ecosystem, they may move to another location. If they will not move, the species may become threatened, endangered, or extinct. Under an evolutionary phenomenon called relaxed selection, traits that were advantageous in one time and place become obsolete in another. Traits that aren't actively maintained by natural selection tend to become smaller or less functional over time, studies suggest.</em></u>
