The component is called 'resting metabolic rate. It operates when the body is at complete rest. It can also be called basal metabolism.

Some people argue that evolution, which is generally associated with progressive increases in the

yKpoI14uk [10]

This argument would not be valid because it fails to take into account the <u>mechanisms </u><u>through which </u><u>evolution </u><u>occurs</u> and misunderstands the <u>second law </u><u>of </u><u>thermodynamics</u><u>.</u>

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system must always increase. The argument stating that this law disproves evolution given that evolution can be considered as a <u>decrease in entropy</u>, fails to realize that the <em><u>second law</u></em> states that the <u>total entropy </u>must increase, this does not mean that entropy cannot decrease at one point, to then increase more so at another.

The other aspect of evolution that this argument fails to account for is that evolution is a chaotic process. Evolution, though having a final product that may be considered as increasing in organization, is at heart <u>a </u><u>chaotic process </u><u>caused by</u><u> random mutations</u><u> and the fragile process of </u><u>natural selection</u><u>.</u> Therefore, rather than disprove it, the<em><u> second law of thermodynamics</u></em> is actually the driving force behind continued evolution.

The frequency of autosomal alleles K and k in a large population of snails is 0.6 and 0.4. What is the approximate genotypic fre

Flura [38]

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F = $\frac{2Kk-H}{2Kk}$

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 = $\frac{2\times2\times0.6\times0.4-H}{2\times0.6\times0.4}$

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
