Answer: Apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation

Explanation:

Assuming the known parameters are the

frequency of two alleles 'B'and 'b' in a certain plant species, where 'B' is 0.19 and 'b' is 0.81

To calculate the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population.

Apply Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation, where heterozygotes are represented by the 2pq term.

Therefore, the number of heterozygous individuals (Bb) is equal to 2pq

2 × 0.19 × 0.81 = 0.31 or 31%

(b) To calculate the percentage of homozygous recessives in the population.

The homozygous recessive individuals (bb) are represented by the q^2 term in the H-W equilibrium

0.81 × 0.81 = 0.66 or 66%

Answer:

At the beginning you start out with a lot of energy and stamina but as you progress, maybe five minutes in, you start to get out of breath. While breathing harder, you are trying to intake more oxygen and at the 10 minute mark you can feel your muscles burning a little bit and tire out more. At this point you are gasping for oxygen because your muscles are deprived of oxygen and you body makes lactic acids which you muscles can use instead of oxygen. By the end of it you are very tired.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! I am not sure how scientific of an explanation you wanted.

What purpose would the sand serve?
mihalych1998 [28]

Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rockand mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass.[1]

The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastalsettings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.

Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.
