Answer:

A) 198

Explanation:

Solution:

frequency of aa = q2 = 1/10,000 = 0.0001, q = 0.01

number of aa = 0.0001 x 10,000 = 1 individual

p + q = 1, p = 0.99

frequency of AA = p2 = 0.9801

number of AA = 0.9801 x 10,000 = 9,801 individuals

Aa = 2pq = 2 x 0.9801 x 0.01 = 0.0198 or 198 individuals

Why are plants and the bottom of the energy pyramid?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

What is an energy pyramid?

An energy pyramid is a graphical model that shows energy flow in a community. In this case thought, it shows how energy flows in a biome.  

Why do the percents decrease as you get to the top of the pyramid?  

The plants at the bottom of the pyramid have the most energy because they are the producers of the biome. They take the sun rays and use photosynthesis to make food and turn that into energy for animals. Herbivores have to move around to find their food. Finding food takes energy so that's why they have less amount of energy. Another reason is because they have to chew and swallow their food. Their digestive system has to use energy to break down the food molecules and get the essential nutrients out of the plant for the herbivore. The carnivore has the least amount of energy because they have to track their prey. Moving around requires a lot of energy. Also by the time the carnivore attacks the herbivore, they're already digesting the energy and nutrients from the plants so there's less of those left.

What would happen if introns were not removed during RNA processing?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The protein would be incorrect and the protein might not function.

Explanation:

We know that introns carry information but introns not only carry information to build a protein. They have to be removed for the mRNA to encode a protein with the right protein sequence.

If the spliceosome fails to remove an intron, an mRNA with extra "junk" will be created in it. As a result, a wrong protein will be created during translation.

If a wrong protein sequence is created, it will hamper the whole translation process. The protein won't function properly.

Complete the sentences to describe natural selection
Vikentia [17]
  1. The environment needs to change in order to natural selection to occur.

Reason:

Because, Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

2. Population has some genetic variations.

Reason:

Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by:

mutation and random mating between organisms

3. Nature select organism with specific traits to survive and reproduce.

Reason:

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
