Answer:

c. 0.026

Explanation:

Suppose the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p= frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here, q = w = 0.84

p = W = 1 -w = 1- 0.84= 0.16

W² = 0.16 * 0.16 = 0.0256 = 0.026

Hence, frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype = 0.026

The plants in this ecosystem are dark in color to absorb sunlight, covered in hair and grow in clumps. What type of ecosystem co
Rufina [12.5K]

Darker colors absorb and retain warmth than warm tones. As a result, plants in the tundra have dark-colored leaves, hairy and clumped and stems to help them absorb solar heat faster and stay warm for longer periods of time. So it could be tundra ecosystem according to the given scenario.

<h3 /><h3>What is tundra ecosystem?</h3>

Tundra ecosystems are treeless areas found in the Arctic and on mountain peaks where the climate is cold and windy and rainfall is scarce.

Much of the year, tundra lands are covered in snow, but summer brings bursts of wildflowers.

Darker colors absorb and retain warmth than warm tones. As a result, plants in the tundra have dark-colored leaves, hairy and clumped and stems to help them absorb solar heat faster and stay warm for longer periods of time.

Thus, the correct ecosystem for the given condition is tundra.

Fears of radiation exposure from normal use of such detectors are largely unfounded. identify reasons why 241am smoke detectors
maxonik [38]
The reasons why  241am smoke detectors are perfectly safe is because;
(i)   The amount of americium is very little.
(ii)   The aluminium core is where the detector is hosted.
(iii)  The detector has a plastic cover.
(iv)   Radiation is limited in penetrating power.
(v)    There is a low number which is leaving the case.
(iv) ions get trapped by electrodes.

Explain the advantage for melanin granules being located in the deep layer of the epidermis
Sedaia [141]
<span>UV radiation has a penetration power that can go down to the dermis, when UVA, or to the deepest layer of the epidermis, when UVB. UVA and UVB are the type of radiation that's the most potentially dangerous for DNA damaging to happen. Melanin absorbs the UV rays reducing the damage that these may produce to the living cells of the dermis and deeper, just bellow these granules.</span>
