5. List three mechanisms by which Earth's albedo can be increased.

Biology
1 answer:
KIM [24]4 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.

2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.

3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

Answer:

A more dense material will cause the light to bend more. (dense substances have a higher refractive index)

A less dense material will cause the light to bend less.

The speed of light decreases with more dense materials (the denser the material, the more slowly light travels through it.)

The speed of light increases with less dense materials.
