Answer:

160

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Population of fruit flies = 1000

Population with red eyes = 640

Now,

q² for the population = 360 ÷ 1000 = 0.36

or

q = √0.36

or

q = 0.6

Therefore,

p = 1 − q

= 1 - 0.6

= 0.4

Hence,

The homozygous dominant frequency = p² = 0.4 × 0.4

= 0.16

Individuals we would expect to be homozygous for red eye color

= p × population

= 0.16 × 1000

= 160

Choose an animal such as a favorite animal then use a trustworthy source of information to find out the answers to the two food
iris [78.8K]
Plants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water. Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers. There are three groups of consumers. Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores (or primary consumers). Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores. Carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers, and carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers. Animals and people who eat both animals and plants are called omnivores. Then there are decomposers (bacteria, fungi, and even some worms), which feed on decaying matter. These decomposers speed up the decaying process that releases mineral salts back into the food chain for absorption by plants as nutrients.

In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore to carry out its life processes (e.g., movement, digestion, reproduction). Therefore, when the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore, it passes only a small amount of total energy (that it has received) to the carnivore. Of the energy transferred from the herbivore to the carnivore, some energy will be “wasted” or “used up” by the carnivore. The carnivore then has to eat many herbivores to get enough energy to grow. Because of the large amount of energy that is lost at each link, the amount of energy that is transferred decreases each time. The further along the food chain you go, the less food (and hence energy) remains available.

Food chains can also be represented in different forms such as this pyramid.

​As indicated by surveys of the general population, what percentage of people perceive that the insanity defense is used too oft
patriot [66]

Answer:

90%    

Explanation:

Insanity defense is mostly used by the criminals in the court. It is considered as the affirmative defense when the defendant in front of the court judge accepts the guilt of the crime but argues that he is not responsible for the crime as his actions are controlled by the persistent mental or psychiatric disease when he committed the crime.

Thus the defendant blames his mental disease for the crime that he committed. In United States, according to the statistics by the general population, about 90% of the criminal uses  insanity defense to defend themselves in the court.

Thus the answer is --- 90%.
