Answer:

The correct answer is

0.5 F, 0.5 f

Step-by-step explanation:

We note the following

Number of colored circles in the box = 14

Number of red circles in the box = 4

Number of purple circles in the box = 6

Number of blue circles in the box = 4

The allele frequency are as follows

Where the frequency is given as

Genotype            Frequency                         Relative frequency        

FF = Red                    4                                       4/14 (0.29≈0.3)                  

Ff = Purple                 6                                       6/14 (0.43≈0.4)

ff = Blue                     4                                       4/14(0.29≈0.3)

Within this population,

We however  have 4 FF = 8 F

                                6 Ff =   6 F + 6 f  and

                                4 ff = 8 f

Total allele = 8+6+6+8 = 28

Relative frequency of F = (8+6)/28 = 14/28 = 0.5

relative frequency of f = (8+6)/28 = 0.5

Therefore the allele frequencies in the palm tree population is

0.5 F, 0.5 f

When in equilibrium we have

However the FF has the product of F×F which is = F² = 0.29 so the frequency of F = √(0.29) = 0.535≈ 0.5

The frequency of Ff is Ff or fF =  0.43 since there is equal number of each allele in Ff we have fF or Ff = Ff = 0.43

Which hives 0.43/2 = F =f ≈ 0.2

To  

and ff = 0.29 so that f = 0.535 ≈ 0.5

Therefore f = F  = 0.5 + 0.2 = 0.7

Diameter=14.6 <br> round to nearest tenth
grandymaker [24]

The next greater tenth is  14.7
The next smaller tenth is  14.5

Neither of them is nearer to 14.6 than 14.6 already is.
So 14.6 is already the nearest tenth.

2,548 rounded to the nearest hundred
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

the answer is  2,500

Step-by-step explanation:

any number higher than 5 you round up but any number lower than 5 you round down.

4 is lower than 5 so you round it down and the 5 stays the same, and replace it with 0's.
