Answer: The correct answer is-

a. 0.3

Explanation-

As per the question, the frequency of blue eyes (which is a recessive trait) is 0.09.

Let us consider the genotype for it be 'qq' ( q representing recessive allele) that produces blue eyes.

According to equation of Hardy Weinberg principle-

p²+ 2pq+ q² = 1

where p² represent the genotype for dominant trait and q² is the genotype for recessive trait.

p represents frequency of dominant allele and q is recessive allele frequency.

q² =  0.09

q = √0.09

  =  0.3

Thus, option a) 0.3 is the right answer.

Does Aerobic Cellular Respiration require products?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

'Aero' means air, which contains oxygen, leading to the name aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration because cells do not need it.

What is a biological tropism?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Living organisms adapt to their moves and positions in response to the environmental changes for their protection or to their advantage. When an entity reacts to the changes in its surroundings, it is referred to as stimulus while the reaction to the stimulus is referred to as a response. Common stimuli are sound, light, air, heat, smell, taste, water and gravity.

Think of burning your finger of fracturing your bone without any pain sensation. It may certainly sound like a superpower or an ideal situation, however, when it comes to the standpoint of survival, it can be disastrous.

It is a characteristic behaviour of living entities to respond to stimuli with the intervention of the Nervous System. It is an organ system ascribed to send signals from the spinal cord and the brain throughout the body and then back from all the body parts to the brain. Neuron acts as the mediator and is the basic signalling unit of the Nervous system.

Pain is the body’s way of letting us know that something is not right. It can prevent further injuries or push us to seek medical attention. Moreover, all of this is possible because humans can respond and react to stimuli due to control and coordination among the various organs and organ systems.

Control and Coordination in simple multicellular organisms take place through only the Nervous system which coordinates activities of our body. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking, and behaviour.
