Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

let the alleles be W- no white spots w-white spots

ww butterflies have white spots

genotypic frequency of ww= number of butterflies with white spots/total number

= 128/512

= 0.25

alleleic frequency of w= square root of genotypic frequency of ww

= square root of 0.25

= 0.5

Why didn't the early geologic time scale include the number of years ago that events happened?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Paleontologists didn't have the technology in that time to get a good estimation on the events.  Back then, they had to rely on natural sources "markers" that made the estimations. Those estimations weren't accurate. Today's measures are accurate.
