NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4% of the white population in the US are carriers of cystic fibrosis.

Explanation:

According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, if q2 equals 1/2,500, then q equals .02, p equals .98, and 2pq equals approximately .04, or 4%.

Remember that the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation is <u>used when the population maintains its genetic variation constant</u>.

How does research into natural selection and traits help you understand why some butterflies have coloration that looks like the
QveST [7]

Answer/Explanation:

Natural selection - over time - selects for traits that improve fitness. A butterfly with wing coloration that looks like a hungry owl would certainly be a deterrent to their natural predators, such as smaller birds. This is because the owl is the predator of the smaller birds, and their instinct is to avoid the owl.

If a mutation arose that resulting in coloration that looked like an owl, (or at least slightly menacing) this would be beneficial to the butterfly, as it would be more camouflaged from predators. This means it would be more likely to reach reproductive age and pass the mutation onto its offspring, who would also have a competitive advantage.

Over time, this would lead to a population of butterflies with coloration that looks more and more owl-like .

Juliette [100K]

Answer No 1:

Cell can be described as the basic unit of organization of all living things. All living things, whether prokaryotes or eukararyotes, will be made up of a cell or different cells. Prokaryotes are one- celled whereas eukaryotes are made up of many cells.

Answer No 2:

A group of tissues which work together make up an organ whereas,  group of organs which work together will make up an organ system.

For example, the organs such as the heart, the lungs, the liver, the kidneys etc are made up of different tissues which work together so that these organs can perform their prescribed functions.

Answer No 3:

Different organs work together in an organ system so that an organ system can perform its functions.

For example, in the circulatory system, the heart, capillaries, veins, arteries work together so that they can provide transport blood.

Answer No 4:

Different tissues perform different functions. Different tissues will work together to make organs of an organ system. These organs will work together to make the organ system perform its function.

Answer No 5:

Every organ of an organ system has a vital role to play for the proper functioning of the organ system. Malfunction of any of the organs will result in the functions being not performed. For example, the function of the heart is to pump blood. If the heart stops working then the circulatory system will not be able to transport oxygen.
