5 0

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 is it important to protect ecosystems?  What could happen to the biotic and abiotic factors if we don’t take care of them?  

It protects the resources and organisms that depend on one another in the ecosystem

What would be the impact on the organism and the biomes?                  

A rise in temperature in the tundra for the polar bears:

They would get overheated since they are prepared for the colder temps with their fur-also causes the ice to melt and alter its food supply

A decrease in rainfall for the flowers in the rainforest:  

They would likely die due to a lack of water

A decrease in temperature for jackrabbit in the desert:

They would get very cold since they are used to the extreme heat

An increase in temperature for the black bear in the temperate deciduous:

They would get very hot and be trouble due to their fur and dark coloring
