What are the abiotic factors associated with ecosystems?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Option B, temperature, water and soil nutrients

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are those which do not have life in them and are unable to exhibit the functions of a living organism such as locomotion, reproduction, feeding, respiration etc.  

All the set of factors in option B  i.e temperature, water and soil nutrients are not living things as they do have any of the characteristics of living beings and thus they can be considered as abiotic factors.  

While in all other options except option B,  i.e option A, C, and D factors like animal, grass and animal life are biotic factors as they have life and are able to perform functions of living beings.  

Thus, abiotic factors associated with ecosystems are temperature, water and soil nutrients

A population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with respect to a gene, "yellow," which has 2 alleles, y and Y. Y, the wild type a
Anton [14]

Answer:

The frequency of the Y allele is 0.7

The frequency of the y allele is 0.3

The frequency of the YY homozygote is 0.49

The frequency of the Yy heterozygote is 0.42

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where,

p = frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of  recessive homozygous genotype

Here,

yy = q² = 0.09

frequency of y allele = q = √0.09 = 0.3

frequency of Y allele = p = 1-q = 1-0.3 = 0.7

p² = YY = (0.7)² = 0.49

2pq = Yy = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3 = 0.42
