What is the proper term for the fires set within the Amazon?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:The number of blazes decreased in September, after president Jair Bolsonaro bowed to mounting pressure to address the flames and announced a 60-day ban on setting fires to clear land. Some exceptions were made for indigenous peoples who practice subsistence agriculture and those who’ve received clearance by environmental authorities to use controlled burning to prevent larger fires.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disease caused by a recessive mutation. PKU is extremely common in Ireland, affecting approximately 1

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

97%

Explanation:

PKU is caused by a recessive mutation, which means that affected individuals are homozygous and recessive (tt).

The frequency of genotypes according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is:

$TT= p^2\\Tt=2pq\\tt=q^2$

where p is the frequency of the T allele and q is the frequency of the t allele.

Affected individuals are 1 in 4500, which means the frequency of tt genotype is 1/4500.

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,

$q^2=1/4500\\q=\sqrt{1/4500} \\\\q=0.015$

The sum of the allele frequencies adds up to 1, therefore:

p + q = 1

p= 1 - q

p= 1 - 0.015

p= 0.985

The frequency of the TT genotype (homozygous wild-type individuals) will be:

$p^2=0.985^2\\p^2=0.97$

97% of the population will have the homozygous wild-type TT genotype.

Name two ways that water can enter the atmosphere.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:ways Water enters the atmosphere evaporation, transpiration, excretion and sublimation:

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants (via their leaves).

Sublimation is when ice or snow transforms directly into water vapour without going through a liquid phase (i.e. they do not melt).

Animals excrete water by respiration and by passing urine.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
