Answer:

the value of the dominant allele is roughly 0.02.

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equation should be used to test whether a population is evolving or not. Since there are two alleles for a given locus, we will call the dominant allele (p) A, and the recessive allele (q) will be called a. Thus, p will be the allele frequency of A and q will be the frequency of a, so we will have p + q = 1 since the sum of these two alleles will equal 100%.

So if 96% of the population of the question is recessive, we can find the value of q, which will be the result of the square root of 0.96 which is approximately 0.98.

From this value, we use the formula (p + 0.98 = 1) to find the value of the dominant allele, which is 0.02.

This means that 0.004% of the population has the AA genotype and 0.016% has the Aa genotype, while 96% have the aa genotype.

dmitriy555 [2]
<span>Prior to the standard gauge track, railroad travel was much more arduous and painstaking. There were originally several types of gauges used on a railway track. This caused long train trips to require multiple stops in order to change train cars. With the standard gauge track on trains in the 1800s, multiple changes were no longer necessary and so the trips were shorter.</span>

Public goods, like national defense, are usually funded through government because:________
antoniya [11.8K]

Due to the difficulty of denying national security to someone unwilling to pay for it, public goods like national defense are often supported by the government.

Why is it that government funding is typically used to support public goods like the national defense?

National Defense is one of the examples of the public good. If one individual in a particular location is protected against an attack or invasion by a foreign power, other people there are probably similarly protected. Due to the difficulty in charging for defense as a result, it suffers from the well-known free-rider issue. In fact, practically all economists are of the opinion that government action and taxation are the only ways to finance adequate defense.

Your friend Mike claims, “It isn’t cold up in the atmosphere, because hot air rises.” Do you agree with Mike’s claim? Why or why
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: I agree with Mike

Explanation:  Gas also get cooler as its pressure drops, which it does as it rises up where there is less air pressing down on it. So when warm air rises, it cools off. That's pretty significant here. But there's an even more important force at work: Earth radiates heat (infrared light) into space.

frozen [14]

Answer:

Routine activities theory.

Explanation:

Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen developed the Routine activities theory to explain the ecological process of the crime or situation of the crime thus diverting the study of criminology from just the mere offenders. They used this theory to explain the crime in the United States in the period following World War two where the economy is booming. Therefore they relate the occurrence of crime to the more opportunities provided than merely in social problems of poverty, unemployment, etc.
