The bonds that hold atoms together behave most like Select one: a. glue. b. rubber cement. c. flexible springs. d. snap-together
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: Flexible springs

Explanation:

The atoms in an element or compound are bonded together by bonds which keeps the atoms together.

The bonds is stiff but it proves some flexibility for the movement of the atoms so that they can react and form different types of substances.

The bonds between the atoms act like flexible spring which keeps two or more atoms together and flexible for reacting.

A population of 150 individuals has an allele frequency of 0.2 for the dominant allele (H) and a frequency of 0.8 for the recess
Amanda [17]
Hardy-Weinberg Equation (HW) states that following certain biological tenets or requirements, the total frequency of all homozygous dominant alleles (p) and the total frequency of all homozygous recessive alleles (q) for a gene, account for the total # of alleles for that gene in that HW population, which is 100% or 1.00 as a decimel. So in short: p + q = 1, and additionally (p+q)^2 = 1^2, or 1
So (p+q)(p+q) algebraically works out to p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1, where p^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous dominant individuals, 2pq = genotype frequency of heterozygous individuals, and q^2 = genotype frequency of homozygous recessive individuals.
The problem states that Ptotal = 150 individuals, H frequency (p) = 0.2, and h frequency (q) = 0.8.
So homozygous dominant individuals (HH) = p^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04 or 4% of 150 --> 6 people
Heterozygous individuals (Hh) = 2pq = 2(0.2)(0.8) = 0.32 or 32% of 150
--> 48 people
And homozygous recessive individuals (hh) = q^2 = (0.8)^2 = 0.64 = 64% of 150 --> 96 people
Hope that helps you to understand how to solve these types of population genetics problems!

Which features do sound waves have that ocean and light waves do not? Check all that apply.
Shkiper50 [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Compressions

Rarefactions

<h3><u>Explanations;</u></h3>
  • A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another, and involve the transfer of energy from the source to another point.
  • Waves may be classified as longitudinal waves or transverse wave depending on the vibration of particles relative to the wave motion or mechanical and electromagnetic waves based on the material medium of transmission.
  • <em><u>Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves that are mechanical waves since they require material medium for transmission. Longitudinal waves involves transmission of waves such that the vibration of particles is parallel to the wave motion , creating compressions and rarefactions.</u></em>

A cotton farmer applies a new insecticide against the boll weevil to his crop for several years. at first, the treatment was suc
romanna [79]
Yes, it is possible that evolution occurs in this case.

At first, the new insecticide is effective against the boll weevil. Spraying the insecticide will kill the boll weevil in a way. The insecticide might attack boll weevil enzyme or any part of its organs.<span>
But some of them might have a mutation that renders the insecticide ineffective. The mutation probably happens to DNA that code the enzyme or protein that targeted by the insecticide, makes the insecticide completely ineffective.
The next spray will kill all old organism, leaving the new resistant organism in less competition area. This will allow the resistant organism to grow fast and eventually replace all the old organism in the area.</span>
