Answer:

1128.

Explanation:

The dominant taster phenotype is 1482.

The recessive taster phenotype = 2400 – 1482 = 918 .

Recessive phenotypes = 2400 – 1482 = 918

The recessive phenotype frequency = q² = 918 / 2400 = 0.38.

the recessive allele frequency q = √0.38 = 0.62.

The dominant allele frequency, p = 1-q = 1- 0.62 = 0.38

The heterozygous frequency =  2pq = 2 ×0.38 × 0.62 = 0.47 .

The heterozygous individual in the population = 0.47 × 2400 = 1128.

Thus, the answer is 1128.

A learning process that can occur only during a limited period of the individual's development is called _____.
likoan [24]
This process is called as imprinting. It occurs at a particular stage of life and is, therefore, a phase-sensitive learning process. It can be of many types, including filial imprinting, where an offspring gains some of its behavioral characteristics from the parent, or sexual imprinting, through which desirable characteristics of a mate are recognized by a young animal.

jeka57 [31]
C. Permafrost


Permafrost is the layer beneath the "active layer". The active layer consists of soil that freezes and thaws every year. However, the requirement for permafrost is that it be frozen for two or more years consecutively. This is why permafrost exists in cold environments such as tundras.

Give an example of mechanical and chemical digestion?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth as the food is chewed. Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells.

Explanation:

Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.
