Answer:Their strongly hydrophobic nature allows them to function as water repellents on the leaves of some plants, on feathers, and on the cuticles of certain insects. Waxes also serve as energy-storage substances in plankton (microscopic aquatic plants and animals) and in higher members of the aquatic food chain.

3. In one population, 18 individuals have long hair and 182 individuals have short hair. It is known thatmating has been random
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09

Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.

For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l

So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.

To calculate the frequencies:

Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)

p = 182/200 = 0.91

The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:

q = 18/200 = 0.09

Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.

Explain the role of valence electrons and how they relate to the periodic table of elements?
myrzilka [38]

Explanation:

The valence electrons determine the group the elements belong in the periodic table. For example, the element sodium, Na, has a valence electron of one and so it belongs to Group 1 in the periodic table. Another example is Aluminium, Al, which has a valence electron of three and therefore it belongs to Group 3 in the periodic table.

Which of the following statements is true for all types of passive transport? Group of answer choices Ions never cross the plasm
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The concentration gradient is the driving force.

Explanation:

Passive transport of substance occurs when they are moved from the region of their higher concentration to that of their lower concentration. The concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of substances between two regions or across the membrane. The concentration gradient of substances drives their passive movement. The passive movement of substances does not use metabolic energy.  Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are two examples of this transport.
