Answer:

p=0.9

Explanation:

The frequency of the different genotypes is as follows:

  • AA = 0.81
  • Aa = 0.18
  • aa = 0.01

There are 2 alleles for this gene, the dominant allele <em>A</em> appears twice in the homozygous dominant genotype and once in the heterozygous.

Then, the frequency of the <em>A </em>allele, <em>p</em>, can be calculated as:

p= freq(AA) + freq(Aa)/2

p= 0.81 + 0.18/2

p=0.9

How do they use bias to sell their products? How would you use skepticism to evaluate the data that these companies use in their
Fittoniya [83]
 They use cognitive biases like framing, loss aversion, status quo etc. to elicit an emotional response in hopes of you making impulsive purchases.

You can use skepticism by listening more carefully to what is being said and looking up any claims made by the advertiser. Like if they say they are the cheapest car insurance, you don't just believe them you compare prices.

Bipedalism in humans, when compared to knuckle walking in the African apes, represents what type of process or trait?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A. ancestral trait

Explanation:

Bipedalism can be define as a form of terrestrial locomotion, in which the organism moves with the help of two rear limbs or legs. Typical bipedal movements includes the hoping, running and walking. The evolution of the human bipedalism occurred in primates in about 4 million years ago with Sahelanthropus (oldest human ancestors or African Apes). The human ancestor Sahelanthropus led to the morphological alterations in the human skeleton including changes in the bones such as size of the bones of the foot, knee size, shape and orientation of the vertebral column, and leg length. All these changes contributed to the bipedalism.
