For a particular species of wolf, 55% are female, 20% hunt in medium-sized packs, and 15% are both female and hunt in medium-siz
lorasvet [3.4K]
*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt 
     in medium-sized packs                      - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
     female and hunt in medium-sized
     packs                                                  - 15%


*Solution

<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>

1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then, 

a. The number of female wolves is

    (55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves

b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

    (20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves

    Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves. 

c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

    (15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves

2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is, 
 
    55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting  = 40 female wolves not
                                                in medium-sized packs         hunting in medium
                                                                                              sized packs

3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed. 

For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of 
 
                                       <span> <u> 40  </u>
</span>                                        100

and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,

                                     <span><u> 40/10  </u>
</span>                                     100/10

                                       <span><u>  4   </u>
</span>                                        10

When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get, 

                                       <span><u>  4   </u>   x    100%     = 40%
</span>                                        10

Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.

There are two types of alleles. An allele that masks another is the___allele. The one that is masked is called the___allele. An
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Alleles refer to the alternative form of the same gene. These are mainly of two types: dominant and recessive allele.

The dominant allele is the which mask the effect of another allele in a heterozygous condition. The allele which is masked or which is not able to express itself in a  heterozygous condition is termed as a recessive allele.

For example, T (codes for tallness of a plant) is dominant over t which codes for a dwarf trait.

The organisms that contain the same allele for a particular trait is said to be homozygous for that trait. For example, TT and tt.

In contrast, if the organism contains different alleles for a particular trait, it is termed as heterozygous for that particular trait. For example, Tt.

Thus, the first, second, third and fourth blank can be correctly filled with dominant, recessive, homozygous, and heterozygous respectively.
