Answer:

Considering the following case:

Carbon-14 has a half life of 5,770 years. A fossil was found that had 1/32 of its original Carbon-14 remaining.

The fossil is 28.850 years old.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that in the first place we need to understand that 1/32 equals 1/2^5 or in other words 5 times. So we then have to multiply the half-life for 5 times and we will obtain 28,850 years as a result because the half-life for carbon-14 is 5,770 In our case it is different as in the majority of them because 5,730 is more often used as the reference value of half-life.

Assuming the population begins in H−W equilibrium, what is C1 allele frequency after one generation of natural selection? Expres
DIA [1.3K]

Complete question:

In a population of flowers growing in a meadow, C1 and C2 are autosomal codominant alleles that control flower color. The alleles are polymorphic in the population, with f (C1) = 0.7 and f (C2) = 0.3. Flowers that are C1C1 are yellow, orange flowers are C1C2, and C2C2 flowers are red. A storm blows a new species of hungry insects into the meadow, and they begin to eat yellow and orange flowers but not red flowers. The predation exerts strong natural selection on the flower population, resulting in relative fitness values of C1C1 = 0.30, C1C2 = 0.60, and C2C2 = 1.0. Assuming the population begins in H−W equilibrium, what is C1 allele frequency after one generation of natural selection? Express your answer using three decimal places.

Answer:      

The C1 allele frequency after one generation of natural selection equals 0.559
