Answer:
0.0177
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:
1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>
q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>
- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177
- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823
The correct answer is: stratosphere.
This is because their temperatures are rising instead of decreasing.
There are 4 primary layers of the atmosphere on Earth:
Troposphere (6-20km), the layer that we live in, where the weather occurs. Only nitrogen and oxygen present.
Stratosphere (20-50 km), where the airplanes fly, contains the ozone layer, which absorbs harmful radiation from the sun.
Mesosphere (50-85 km), the coldest region of Earth’s atmosphere (-100 C), protective layer
Thermosphere (80-690), the hottest (1500 C) and the thickest layer which consists of the ionosphere and the exosphere.
Its not C. i took he test and got A.
Answer:d.Paleozoic Era
Explanation:
Paleozoic Era is hallmarked by climate, animals & plants.
This Era includes the Ordovician Period, Silurian Period and the Devonian Period.
The Silurian Period is one during this era where aquatic plants and animals evolved.
The correct flowchart is energy - > atmosphere - > air pressure - > convection - > global winds. This is a very simple process as explained.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The energy from the sun actually heats up the land surface and the water surface of the earth. As the land gets heated up, the layer of atmosphere that is adjacent to the land and water also gets heated up. This leads to the decrease of air density as the heat causes expansion of gases. With decrease in air density, the air pressure also drops and the air from the cooler layer of atmosphere above comes to fill up the space and this heated air goes up. This causes the convection current to get set up. This causes the global winds and different oceanic currents to flow all over the earth throughout the year.
