Answer:

Option D, Requires that evolution occurred

This was found by geologist William Smith who later used this vertical strata for determining the age of rock and sediments based on the rock of fossils.

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many

mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:

$p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1$

where $p+q=1$

And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that $p^{2}$ is equal to the homozygous dominant, $2pq$ is the heterozygous, and $q^{2}$ is the homozygous recessive .

So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of $\frac{4}{100}$ or 0.04. Let that equal our $q^{2}$ value.
