Stable isotopes refers to those isotopes that do not undergo radioactive decay. Oxygen atoms with atomic number of 16 and 18 are examples of stable isotopes. These isotopes of oxygen are usually found in substances such as polar ice and calcite. These substances are usaually measure with isotope fractionation and the ratios obtained are used to estimate water temperature of ancient oceans. From this, scientists can find out facts about ancient climates,

Which of these is a function of the circulatory system?
Molodets [167]
The correct answer is letter A: the circulatory system removes waste from the tissues by converting carbon dioxide-rich blood into oxygen-rich blood that can be circulated throughout the body to support its several functions. Without the lungs the human body will not be able to process converting blood cells into oxygen-rich cells in the body.

The frequency of autosomal alleles K and k in a large population of snails is 0.6 and 0.4. What is the approximate genotypic fre
Flura [38]

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F = \frac{2Kk-H}{2Kk}

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 = \frac{2\times2\times0.6\times0.4-H}{2\times0.6\times0.4}

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
