small group of 100 people decide to isolate themselves from the world and move to a small and remote deserted island. Out of thi

irina [24]

Answer:

Frequency of p $= 0.684$

Frequency of p $= 0.316$

Number of individuals with homozygous dominant (AA) $= 47$

Number of individuals with heterozygous (Aa) $= 43$

Number of individuals with homozygous recessive (aa) $= 10$

Explanation:

Out of 100 people, 10 have albino skin (aa)

So, the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals $(q^{2})$ is $\frac{10}{100} = 0.1$

Now, q will be

$= \sqrt{q^{2} } = \sqrt{0.1} \\= 0.316$

As per Hardy Weinberg's equation -

$p + q = 1$

Substituting the value of q in above equation, we get -

$p + 0.316 = 1p = 1 -0.316\\p = 0.684$

Now the frequency of homozygous dominant (AA) will be

$p^{2} = 0.684^{2} \\= 0.467$

Hence, out of 100 people $0.467 * 100 = 46.7 or 47$ people are homozygous dominant (AA)

Like wise out of 100 people $0.1 * 100 = 10$ people are homozygous recessive (aa)

As per As per Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p^{2} + q^{2} + 2pq = 1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.467 + 0.316 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1 -( 0.467+ 0.1)\\2pq = 0.433$

So, out of 100 people $0.433 * 100 = 43.3 or 43$ people are heterozygous (Aa)

What might happen if you try to plant a tree that is native to tropical rainforests in the tundra?

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The tree will not survive due to the nature of the tundra

Explanation:

The tundra comes from a finnish word "tunturia" which means barren or treeless land. It is classified as a cold icy desert with permafrost on the ground. Unlike the tropical rain forest which is a wet climate group and is a forest of tall trees in a region of year round warmth, the tundra is cold and dry. The tundra soils are formed at high altitudes, they are usually frozen. Common plants in tundra are shrubs, herbs, lichens and grass and usually grow in groups and remain closer to the ground for prevention against cold winds. The cold nature of the tundra and its soil prevent the growth of trees because trees need to have deeper roots and they cannot grow on frozen ground.

In any food web, plants are considered to be producers. they convert sunlight (solar energy into usable chemical energy (glucose

Novosadov [1.4K]

This is straight from google "During photosynthesis, a plant is able to convert solar energy into a chemical form. It does this by capturing light coming from the sun and, through a series of reactions, using its energy to help build a sugar molecule called glucose. Glucose is made of six carbon atoms, six oxygen atoms, and twelve hydrogen atoms."

The alveoli are lined with mucus and are surrounded by a network of blood capillaries. They have very thin walls for gases to be absorbed through. An individual air sac is called an alveolus. The layer of moisture in the alveoli allows gases to dissolve so that they can diffuse quickly.

I hope that helps you!
