Answer: The frequency of GG is 0.64

Explanation: using Hardy-weinberg equation

g^2 + 2Gg + G^2 =1 ................(1)

And the sum of the alleles at the locus must be 1.

Therefore:

G + g = 1 ..............................(2)

Since

G=0.8

g= 0.2

G^2 =GG (Homozygous G gene)

g^2 = gg (Homozygous g gene)

Using equation 1

GG+ (2×0.8×0.2) + gg =1

Therefore

GG + 0.32 + gg = 1

GG + gg = 0.68...............(3)

Solving equation 2

G + g = 1

g = 1 - G

Square both side

g^2 = (1 - G)^2 ...............4

Where g^2 = gg

Therefore gg = (1 - G)^2.............(5)

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

GG + (1 - G)^2 = 0.68

Therefore

GG = 0.68 - (1 - G)^2

GG = 0.68 - (1 - 0.8)^2

GG = 0.68 - 0.04

GG = 0.64

Semmy [17]

Vestibule portion of the nasal cavity is lined with sebaceous and sweat glands and numerous hair follicles.

<h3>What is vestibule?</h3>
  • A vestibule is a tiny room that leads into a larger space, like a lobby, entrance hall, or hallway.
  • It serves as a place to wait, block the view of the bigger space, stop heat loss, provide space for storing outside clothing, etc.
  • A vestibule is something like the tiny space outside the main bank where you enter and where the ATM is stored.
  • A vestibule is, for instance, the middle cavity of the inner ear that connects to the eardrum.
  • A vestibule is a little opening or chamber at a canal's start.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
kirill [66]

Answer:

Cause: Earth’s magnetosphere traps radioactive  solar wind particles in bands around Earth → Space travel through the Van Allen  belts is dangerous.

Cause: Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field → Effect: Solar wind deflects toward the poles.

Cause: Solar wind particles interact with Earth’s  upper atmosphere → Effect: An aurora is created

Explanation:

I have been able to drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

When there is a trapping of radioactive solar wind particles in bands by the earth's magnetosphere, it becomes dangerous to travel in space through the Van Allen. Cosmic rays and solar particle add up to the additional hazards that it poses. A Van Allen radiation belt is known to be a zone  where energetic charged particles are found. Most of the energetic charged particles originate from the solar wind.  The solar wind  are captured by and held around a planet by that planet's magnetic field.

When the solar wind interacts with the earth's atmosphere, there is a collision of atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the earth's atmosphere. The energy that is formed is a colorful glowing halo which is known as an aurora.
