A. B = 0.32; b = 0.68
B. B = 0.36; b = 0.64

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

AysviL [449]

Answer:

color of light

Explanation:

<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>

In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>

All of the following are classified as abiotic factors EXCEPT
ella [17]

Answer:

In the group of terms, the exception to abiotic factors is bacteria (option b).

Explanation:

Abiotic factors correspond to the elements of an ecosystem that are not considered alive, such as soil, wind, temperature, pH, among others.

All living beings in an ecosystem are biotic elements, including microorganisms such as bacteria. The dynamics of living beings influence the ecosystem, just as abiotic factors influence both the biotic elements and the development of the ecosystem.
