Answer:

Frequency of CW allele in the population= 0.41

Explanation:

A diploid organism has two alleles for each gene. So, a population of 100 plants will have total 100 x 2 = 200 alleles.

The each of the white colored plants have two copies of CW alleles and each pink flowered plant have only one CW allele.

Frequency of CW allele in the population = total number of white flowered plants x 2 + total number of pink colored plants / total population size x 2.

Frequency of CW allele in the population= 22 x 2 + 38 / 100 x 2 = 82 /200 = 0.41

Answer:

2. synthesize its own food

Explanation:

Based on how they obtain their nutrition, living organisms has been classified to be either producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are organisms capable of synthesizing their own food using light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis).

Consumers, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food and hence, rely on other organisms to obtain their energy source. Consumers feed on other organisms to obtain energy. In this question, a fruit fly is classified as a CONSUMER because it cannot synthesize its own food.
