Answer:

keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are indispensable species that are essential to the maintaining of the balance of an ecosystem, and also play a major role in the way species in the ecosystem interrelate. The absence or removal of a keystone species from a habitat or ecosystem would lead to the disruption and imbalance of the ecosystem, and as such lead to the extinction of other species.

An example of a keystone species is the bee. Bees are very important in pollination of flowering plants and also ensure their survival. This plants serve as home to various insects that are source of food to birds. The removal of bees from this ecosystem would affect the ecological balance of this ecosystem.

The frequency <em>p</em> of the yellow (A) allele is  <em>p</em>= 0.3

The frequency <em>q</em> of the blue (a) allele is  <em>q= </em><em>0.7</em>

Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium,  states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation. Equilibrium is reached in the absence of selection, mutation, genetic drift and other forces and allele frequencies p and q are constant between generations. In the simplest case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.  

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1       p+q= 1     q= 1-p

yellow (p²)= 9%= 0.09               p= √0.09= 0.3

green (2*p*q)= 42%= 0.42        

blue (q²)=49%= 0.49                q=1-0.3= 0.7 <em>or</em> q= √0.49= 0.7

How do earthworms enrich plant growth?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

They tunnel through the soil, which allows air to enter.

Explanation:

Earthworms are considered to be agriculturally friendly living organisms that hold immense importance in improving the growth and productivity of plants.

They live in the soil and feed on the debris of plants such as manure, grasses, roots and dead leaves. They extensively channel and tunnel through soils while moving that causes loosening of the soil resulting in more aeration of the soil. The more the soil aeration is, the better soil drainage is.

Studies have shown that soil containing earthworms have ten times better drainage than soils that donot have earthworms. Therefore, C is the best option.
