Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).
What are the allele frequencies for the (B) and (b) alleles in this population?

A. B = 0.32; b = 0.68
B. B = 0.36; b = 0.64
C. B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Answer:

option C: B = 0.48; b = 0.52

Explanation:

Of the 50 mice, 12 were homozygous black (BB), 24 were heterozygous black (Bb), and 14 were brown (bb).

BB        Bb       bb    Total

12     +  24    +  14   =  50

the formular for alleleic frequency (p) is (BB+ Bb/2) / total,

q = (bb + Bb/2) / total

Allelic frequecy of B (p) is (12 + 24/2) /50 = 12 + 12 = 24/50 = 0.48

Allelic frequency of b (q) is (14 + 24/2) / 50= 14 + 12 = 26/50 = 0.52

check p + q = 1; 0.48 + 0.52 = 1

Which of the following sequences represents the hierarchy
balandron [24]

Answer:

4) molecule, cell, organ system, population, ecosystem, biosphere

Explanation:

Various biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, etc. together make the cells. Cells are the structural and functional units of life. A group of cells destined to perform specific functions makes tissues and various specific tissues together make an organ.

An organized group of tissues and organs that work cooperatively to perform a specialized set of functions is called an organ system. For example, the digestive system includes organs involved in the breakdown of nutrients.

A group of organisms of the same species that live in a defined geographic area at the same time make a population. Ecosystem refers to an interacting system including a biotic community and its nonliving, physical environment.  The biosphere includes all of the parts of Earth where life forms exist and include the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the lithosphere.

Natural resources are not required for all energy producing technology. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
laila [671]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The statement is</u><u> False</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Energy production needs a source. These sources may be renewable or non renewable but in both cases they are present naturally in the universe and we cannot make anything without using natural resources. For example if we use nuclear energy we need radioactive minerals. Similarly water, air, solar energy, coal, fossil fuels, natural gas or whatever source we take, they are all present in nature already so natural resources are required for all energy producing technology whatever the industry we take.
