Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

A) 29% 
<span>B) 58% </span>
<span>C) 80% </span>
<span>D) 49%
</span>
q^2 + 2pq + p^2=1 


<span>And q + p = 1 </span>

<span>You have q^2 which is 0.18, which stands for the homozygous recessive. p^2 is homozygous dominant percentage while 2pq is what you're looking for, heterozygous. </span>

<span>Anyway to find your answer, square root q^2 to find q, then you can use q+p=1 to find p. Then use 2pq to find the percent of heterozygotes. The answer for your question is D.</span>

) Which of the following statements is accurate
tigry1 [53]

Correct answer: D). If an object's velocity is changing, it's either experiencing acceleration or deceleration

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It is the result of all the forces, which are acting on the body. It can be calculated by dividing the change in velocity with the change in time.

If the velocity of an object is increasing it means the object is in motion and if it is decreasing it shows that the object is experiencing deceleration.

Which statement provides the best evidence that Earth has a nearly spherical shape?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

2. The altitude of Polaris changes in a definite pattern as an observer's latitude changes.

Explanation:

Since Polaris is located over the Earth’s tilt of axis it appears to follow the observer's latitude. If you were to follow Polaris from the North Pole(0°) to the Equator (90°), it will make a half circle. This will prove that the earth has a spherical shape.
