Answer: D

Explanation: Hardy-Weinberg (H-W) principle assumes the following;

1. Random mating

2. No migration

3. No selection

4. No mutation

5. Large population

When genotype frequencies in a population deviate from H-W principle, it takes only one (1) generation of random mating to H-W equilibrium if the above assumptions hold, that the frequencies in males and females are equal and that the locus is autosomal.

In the case of different allele frequencies between the sexes, it will take two (2) generations of random mating to H-W equilibrium.

Also, it will take multiple generations to attain equilibrium for sex-linked loci because one sex has two copies of the gene and the other sex has only one.

Describe an experiment you would perform to prove that an orange contains vitamin C
Tanya [424]
To prove that a certain fruit (in this case, an orange) indeed contains a certain compound (in this case, vitamin C); then the vitamin C should be extracted and isolated from the orange and must be confirmed by molecular analysis. The extraction process involves using chemicals (i.e. 6% MPA), and procedures such as centrifugation and filtration. Then the extract is stored and subjected to high-performance liquid analysis (HPLC) to measure the vitamin C content.

NARA [144]
Answer: Hairlessness and Glands
explanation:Another notable similarity between the two groups is minimal hair. Both hippos and whales possess barely any hair on their bodies. They do not have sweat glands, either. These are both characteristics that can assist them in their aquatic lifestyles.
