Answer: 49%

Explanation:

* long hair = P

* shirt hair = q using the Hardy-Weinberg equation for genotypic frequencies

* p^2 + 2pq + q^2 =1

*first use the equation to solve for the known value 18% hh

.18 = q^2

Square root .18 = q

So q = .42

* plug this allelic frequency in to p+q = 1

Which will give you the frequency of dominant alleles

1 - .45 = p So P = .58

Then just plug the P and q values found into the portion of the equation for heterozygous offspring.

2(.58)(.42)

Which is .49 or 49%

The entire population should be 33% homozygous dominant 49% heterozygous and 18% homozygous recessive.

Phosphorus, soil, water and oxygen are renewable resources that can be found freely on earth.

Renewable resources are natural resources that can easily be replenished as they are used either by natural means or through cyclic processes in our human life time.

  • Phosphorus, soil, water and oxygen are easily replenished by natural processes and through the biogeochemical cycle of materials.
  • Fossil fuels, trees are not renewable as they can easily be depleted.
  • Non-renewable resources must be used sustainably to ensure their all round availability.
