In a population of mice, the presence of black spots is the result of a homozygous recessive condition. If the frequency of the

allele for this condition is 0.15, what is the approximate percentage of heterozygous genotypes in this mouse population? (Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.)
12%
26%
72%
85%

If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%

Though plants, fungi, and prokaryotes all have cell walls, we place them in different taxa. Which of these observations comes cl
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Their cell walls are composed of very different biochemicals.

Explanation:

Biological classification is important to classify the organisms on the basis of their similarities and differences between them. Linnaeus is known as the father of biological classification.

Cellwall plays an important role in the maintenance of structure and function of the organisms. The composition of the cell wall of fungi, plants and prokaryotes are quite different. Plants cell wall made of cellulose, fungi has chitin in its cell wall and prokaryotes has different layers of cell wall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Mammals produce milk to nurse their young. In humans, which hormone controls milk production?
DedPeter [7]

Answer: C. Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that controls milk production together with oxytocin. The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes prolactin and the posterior lobe secretes oxytocin when a baby suckles at the breast. The level of prolactin in the blood slowly increases during pregnancy, and stimulates the growth and development of the mammary tissue, in preparation for the production of milk after delivery.

Moreover, Prolactin is in the highest level in about 30 minutes after the beginning of the feed, which is most important for producing milk for the next feed.
