Answer:
d.0.48
Explanation:
When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:
freq (AA) = p²
freq (Aa) = 2pq
freq (aa) = q²
<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.
In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.
Therefore:
q²=16/100
q² = 0.16
q=√0.16
q = 0.4
And p+q=1, so:
p = 1 - q
p = 1-0.4
p = 0.6
The frequency of heterozygotes is:
freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6
freq (Aa) = 0.48
Answer:
Elliptical galaxies, such as M87 have very little gas and dust. ... Both the largest and the smallest known galaxies are elliptical. Very large elliptical galaxies can reach 300 million light years in diameter. Dwarf ellipticals, which are very common, may contain only 1/100,000th as many stars as the Milky Way!
Most spiral galaxies contain a central bulge surrounded by a flat, rotating disk of stars. The bulge in the center is made up of older, dimmer stars, and is thought to contain a supermassive black hole. Approximately two-thirds of spiral galaxies also contain a bar structure through their center, as does the Milky Way.
