Consider a population of 425 diploid giant Sequoia trees. In this population, you observe the following genotypic counts: 100 ho

mozygous dominant genotypes, 250 heterozygous genotypes, and 75 homozygous recessive genotypes. What is the allele frequency of the recessive allele in this population (use two decimal places and the usual rounding conventions)

Answer:

q = 0.42

Explanation:

This question is an example of Hardy-Weinberg question and there are two equations necessary to carry out this question;

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q²  = 1

where;

p = the frequency of the dominant allele

q =  the frequency of the recessive allele

p² = the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant genotype

2pq  = the frequency of individuals with heterozygous genotype

q² = frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype

Since the total  population = 425

q² = \frac{individuals with recessive genotype}{Total Population}

= \frac{75}{425}

q² = 0.1765            

To find q; we need to square root both side to           eliminate the square from  q².

∴ \sqrt{q^2}=\sqrt{0.1765}

q = 0.4201

q = 0.42       (to two decimal places)

Climate warming trends allow plant and insect species to inhabit larger ranges. True or false?
attashe74 [19]

The right answer is True.

At the global level, climate change will contribute to the disruption of the Earth's natural ecosystems, which could lead to the extinction of wild animal species and plants. It is mainly the impact of climate change on habitat and ecosystems that will dictate the impacts on biodiversity (by expanding them or the opposite).

Climate change will profoundly affect agricultural and forestry production. The effects in terms of production potential will be very variable depending on the regions and plant cover. They can result in an overall tendency for moderate stimulation in temperate climates and for limited warming at 2 ° -3 ° C.

Which would be the most accurate title for this picture?
Klio2033 [76]
It IS NOT A because after a fire, soil remains, so it would be secondary, not primary. D is INCORRECT because after a volcano, only rock is left so it is primary succession, not secondary.
If you can post the picture I could tell you the correct answer.
