The correct answer is option D, that is, about 1 percent.  

Pertussis also is known as a whooping cough is a highly contagious bacterial disorder. In the beginning, the symptoms are generally identical to those of the common cold with a fever, runny nose, and mild cough. This is succeeded by weeks of extreme coughing fits.  

Pertussis is caused by the bacterium <em>Bordetella pertussis</em>, it is an airborne disease. An estimated 16.3 million people globally were infected in 2015. The majority of the cases take place in the developing nations, and the individuals of all age groups can get affected. About 1 percent of the patients with whooping cough die annually.

Which population is limited by density-dependent factors?
dedylja [7]

Answer: (c) A local wolf population experiences a lethal epidemic of parvovirus.

Explanation:

A limiting factor is one which is capable of limiting the population of the species. It can be a living factor or a non-living factor.  

The density dependent limiting factor is a factor which affects the population of a species depending upon the size of the population. There are many density dependent limiting factors such as disease, migration, predation and food.  

C is the correct option, this is because of the fact that the epidemic outbreak can spread over to the large number of members of the population. If larger the population size more likely will be the chances of spreading.

Albinism is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The frequency of the disease in the population equals to 1:20 000. Calculate
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139
