In a population of heffalumps, there is a single gene that controls the presence of hair. The H allele, which is a complete domi

nant, makes a heffalump hairy, whereas the h allele codes for the absence of hair. If 36% of the heffalump population is hairless, what is the frequency of the h allele?

<h2>Frequency of allele </h2>

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is used to calculate the allelic as well as genotypic frequency

Allelic frequency of dominant and recessive allele is represented by p and q respectively whereas genotypic frequency of dominant genotype is represented by p2 and q2 respectively

Given:

H allele (p) = hairy heffalump (dominant)

h allele (q) = hairless heffalump (recessive)

36% of heffalump population is hairless represents the % of recessive genotype, hh (q2) =36%

Calculation of frequency of the h allele (q) :

Frequency of genotype hh (q2) will be: 36/100=0.36 or 0.6*0.6

Frequency of h allele (q) will be 0.6

A neutron star collapses into a black hole because of the force of (fusion,gravity)

Gravity

Neutron stars are the most extreme and fascinating objects known to exist in our universe: Such a star has a mass that is up to twice that of the sun but a radius of only a dozen kilometers: hence it has an enormous density, thousands of billions of times that of the densest element on Earth. An important property of neutron stars, distinguishing them from normal stars, is that their mass cannot grow without bound. Indeed, if a nonrotating star increases its mass, also its density will increase. Normally this will lead to a new equilibrium and the star can live stably in this state for thousands of years. This process, however, cannot repeat indefinitely and the accreting star will reach a mass above which no physical pressure will prevent it from collapsing to a black hole. The critical mass when this happens is called the "maximum mass" and represents an upper limit to the mass that a nonrotating neutron star can be.

However, once the maximum mass is reached, the star also has an alternative to the collapse: it can rotate. A rotating star, in fact, can support a mass larger than if it was nonrotating, simply because the additional centrifugal force can help balance the gravitational force. Also in this case, however, the star cannot be arbitrarily massive because an increase in mass must be accompanied by an increase in the rotation and there is a limit to how fast a star can rotate before breaking apart. Hence, for any neutron star, there is an absolute maximum mass and is given by the largest mass of the fastest-spinning model.

2. Describe Darwin's childhood and early career pursuits.
aksik [14]

The childhood and early career of Charles Robert Darwin is discussed below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12 February 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He was the fifth of six children of wealthy society doctor and financier Robert Darwin and Susannah Darwin. His grandfathers Erasmus Darwin and Josiah Wedgwood were both prominent abolitionists of the recent times.

Darwin started his career as an apprentice doctor, helping his father treat the poor of Shropshire, before he started to go to the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He found the lectures dull there and in his second year at the university he joined the Plinian Society, a student natural-history group. His father then sent him for a Bachelors of Arts degree which also he couldn't peruse.

After a long fight, he went on his famous voyage on HMS Beagle around the world where he collected his data and then gave his hypothesis in his book named '' On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection and Preservation of the Favoured Race in the Struggle for Life''
