The answer is <span>A. p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.

Let's first distinguish alleles frequencies from genotypes frequencies:
p - a frequency of R allele,
q - a frequency of r allele,
p² - a frequency of RR genotype,
2pq - a frequency of Rr genotype,
q² - a frequency of rr genotype.
<span>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
</span>q = 0.40
Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1
If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
⇒ p = 1 - 0.40
⇒ p = 0.60
Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the <span>genotype frequencies:
-</span> the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16
Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are <span>p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>
Answer:
You have found a limestone layer with numerous fossil corals, fossil sponges, and other fossils, little or no stratification, an absence of cross-bedding and ripple marks. In which environment was this limestone formed?
answer; an organic reef
Explanation:
An organic reef is a sedimentary rock structure of significant dimensions, erected by and composed almost exclusively of the remains of corals, algae, bryozoans, sponges and other sedentary or colonial organisms.
Answer:
1-Wegener was a German meteorologist, geophysicist and polar researcher. In 1915 he published 'The Origin of Continents and Oceans', which outlined his theory of Continental Drift. Wegener was a member of four expeditions to Greenland.
2-The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones.
3-The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust. ... The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years
