Ok so, there's a total of 20 squirrels in all
The fraction of brown squirrels would be 5/20
5/20 as a decimal is .25
To convert that to a percentage you multiply by 100: .25×100=25
So the correct answer is 25%
Answer:
A. the heterozygote advantage
Explanation:
Heterozygote advantage is the condition where the heterozygous individual has higher relative fitness than both homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive individual. This means that the heterozygote individual has higher chances of surviving than both the homozygous counterparts. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive inherited disorder in which oxygen carrying hemoglobin has an abnormal structure. Hence, the resultant RBCs are not spherical but have crescent sickle shape. The oxygen carrying capacity of such RBCs is drastically reduced but they are unaffected by malarial parasite due to their abnormal structure.
- A person with both the recessive genes for sickle cell would not be able to survive due to insufficient oxygen transport in body.
- A person with both the dominant genes would be free of sickle cell anemia but in case of malaria would not be able to survive as the normal RBCs would be hijacked by the parasite.
- A hetrerozygote would survive both in malaria and sickle cell condition since he has enough normal RBCs for oxygen transport but also has sickle cell RBCs which are unaffected by malarial parasite.
Crossing over produces modern combinations of alleles. Not unused alleles but unused combinations which can result in modern phenotypes or expanded assortment of phenotypes. This way the there's expanded genotype/phenotype variety but the genuine qualities are still the same ones.
Answer:
Air Resistance/Friction
Each swing encounters that resistance and it slows down the swing, although it might not be enough to be noticeable during one swing. Friction also slows down the swing. If the pendulum is swinging based upon inertia from the initial release eventually it will come to a stop
Explanation:
See if any of the organisms lived before the others by measuring the age
of their fossils using some means, like radioactive dating.
