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

What are the advantages of live birth compared to ovulation?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer

Just think critically about why (if you were an egg laying species), having a fetus/baby develop inside of you would be advantageous.

For one, eggs are much less protected from outside factors such as predators, temperature, etc than live birthed creatures. Live birth provides protection inside the mothers body from things such as heat, cold, moisture, predatory animals, etc. An egg laying animal must keep its eggs at a perfect temperature and check to make sure no other animal has eaten them.

Scientists’ understanding of the role and function of DNA has built up over time. How did the findings from Hershey and Chase’s
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Hershey & Chase concluded. after the experiment that the genetic material that is passed from virus to the bacteria is not the protein coat but DNA. It proves the DNA is the genetic material and not the protein.

After labelling the Phage DNA and protein, Hershey and Chase performed a series of experiments like infection, blending and centrifugation. Hershey and Chase gave full evidence of the DNA being a genetic material by their experiments. To perform the experiment, Hershey and Chase have taken T-2 bacteriophage (invaders of E.coli bacteria).

Use the words air and mass to describe cold and warm fronts

How many different alleles are possible? Why?
mylen [45]

For humans, we have 19,000 protein-coding genomes. For every gene, there are 2 alleles. This means that humans have 38,000 alleles (19,000×2=38,000).

What are some ways to prevent wind erosion in a dry, sandy area
Kitty [74]
Preventing wind erosion in a dry, sandy area is feasible through any of the following land-use practices:

a. Tillage - creates soil roughness by making furrows and ridges that are perpendicular to the direction of the wind. 
b. Crop rotation - rotations of legumes followed by shrubs followed by trees then back to legumes work best.
c. Intercropping - is the most widely used particularly in countries with desert areas. One of the most popularly used is oasis agriculture that makes use of about 3 layers of vegetation.
