In those parts of equatorial Africa where the malaria parasite is most common, the sickle-cell allele constitutes 20% of the β h

emoglobin alleles in the human gene pool. Although selection is clearly present, if the ideal equilibrium of alleles existed, what should be the proportion of heterozygous individuals in populations that live here?

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

The proportion of the recessive sickle cell anemia allele in the given population is 20%. So, the frequency of the recessive allele in the population would be 20% or 0.2.

The population is said to be following the ideal equilibrium of alleles. Therefore, the frequency of the corresponding dominant allele for the locus would be= 1- frequency of the recessive allele = 1- 0.2 = 0.8

The frequency of the heterozygous individuals in the population= 2 x  proportion of the dominant allele in the population x frequency of the recessive allele = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32 or 32%

Hello!

your answer is A.  How much energy is used to make one paper bag?

the word "should" is a giveaway of B, C, and D being questions for personal opinions. everyone has different views on what SHOULD be, so if you asked 100 people, chances are you'd get many different answers.

A can only have one possible answer.

(I don't know the answer to how much energy is used to make one paper bag so let's just leave it at that, shall we?)

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

dexar [7]

Answer:

D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced

Explanation:

Ecological succession is a process that occurs when a community is being established or replaced.

It shows the change in community over time, focusing on the types of plants and the maturity of plants that are in the community.

Primary and secondary succession are the two types of succession. Primary succession shows the process of change in the establishment of a community. Secondary succession shows the change when a community is being replaced.

So, the correct answer is D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced
