Answer:

B) 2pq

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium refers to a model which explains the effect of evolution on the gene pool.

The model is based on the assumptions that if no evolutionary force like genetic drift, natural selection and many other will act on the population and therefore the gene pool  (gene frequency and the genotypic frequency) of a populations remains in equilibrium or constant throughout the generations.

The genotypic frequency in the model is calculated by  

P² =  genotype of a homozygous dominant trait

q² = genotype of a homozygous recessive trait

2pq = genotype of heterozygous trait.

Thus, P²+2pq+q²=1

In the given question, since the population is in equilibrium that is no evolutionary force is acting, therefore, the genotype frequency remains the same that is the frequency of Aa will remain same that is 2pq even after 100 generations.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Nikitich [7]

According to lecture, the level of emission reductions pledged by individual countries at the paris climate agreements are sufficient to prevent dramatic climate change according to many scientists. <u>The statement is False.</u>

The issue is that many scientists believe the existing pledged emission reductions won't stop serious climate change.Leading the way in global efforts to combat climate change has been the EU. It played a key role in negotiating the Paris Agreement and continues to lead the world.

The EU presented its updated and improved NDC in December 2020, along with information to promote the ICTU (clearness, transparency, and understanding) of the NDC and a target to cut emissions by at least 55% from 1990 levels by 2030.

By working together, the EU and its Member States are committed to a legally-binding goal of a net domestic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55% from 1990 to 2030.

Elbow dysplasia is an inherited developmental abnormality that affects the elbow joint of dogs. It is accepted that the offspring of <span>a </span>dog<span> with the condition are likely </span><span>to develop the condition themselves. Therefore, the likely answer is:  '</span>It has low diversity in its genes'. Even though the dog is a mixed breed, it is possible that one or both parents carried the gene for a predisposition to elbow dysplasia.
