1. If the frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 90% A and 10% a, what is the frequency of individuals in the population wit

h the genotype Aa?

Answer: 0.18

Explanation:

For the alleles, the percentage distribution of each is 'A' (90% = 0.9)

While 'a' (10% = 0.1)

Hence, 0.9 and 0.1 are the respective frequencies of each allele

Now, apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation, where heterozygotes are represented by the 2pq term.

Therefore, the number of heterozygous individuals (Aa) is equal to 2pq which equals

2 × 0.9 × 0.1 = 0.18

Thus, the frequency of heterozygote is 0.18, while the percentage distribution in the population is 18%

What would likely happen to plant life on Earth if sunlight changed to only release a green pigment?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:If plants were only exposed to green light the rate photosynthesis would decrease. amount of carbon dioxide would increase.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll a: This is the most abundant pigment in plants. Chlorophyll absorbs light with wavelengths of 430nm(blue) and 662nm(red). It reflects green light strongly so it appears green to us.

Explain each of the following, giving a named example in each case:
gogolik [260]
(a) solute = substance (solid or liquid) in lesser amount, which will [dis]solve into the solvent

(b) solvent = substance (liquid) in larger amount, which [dis]solves the solvent
it's dissolvability is called "solvency"
water is known as the universal solvent because it is abundant on Earth and has a high solvency

(c) solution = the combination of solvent + solute
depending on the saturation of solute within solvent, the solution may appear clear, like the solvent

**think of warm sugar-water (solution), when all the sugar (solute) dissolves into the water (solvent), the solute seems to have disappeared

natita [175]
<span>The answer is c, incomplete dominance. The dominate trait of the red petals is their red color. The dominate trait for the white petals is their white color. When their offspring have pink petals, neither parental phenotype trait is dominate over the other. Their colors are equally represented in the pink color of the offspring, which shows incomplete dominance - a case where neither parental phenotype is more visible than the other. The ratio of their colors represented in the offspring is one to one.</span>

Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.
