Answer:

25% ;  50%

Explanation:

Assuming the dominant allele for the rolling tongue is P, then the recessive allele will be p.

The population unable to roll their tongue will be recessive dominant pp = 25% = 0.25

To find the frequency of the p allele then = (square root of 0.25) = 0.5

Remember the Hardy Weinberg equation of p + q = 1 & p² +2pq + q² = 1

Therefore P = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5

Homozygous dominant individuals will be P*P = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%

Heterozygous individuals will be 2*P*p= 2*0.5 *0.5 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%

How are the platypus’s bill and feet specially adapted for survival in their environment? (Site 2)
lapo4ka [179]
Platypus is an Australian mammal that lives in deciduous forests. Platypus's bill is adapted in order to allow platypus to travell and find its way in the river without using vision. This adaptation is achieved through special receptors that sense touch and electricity. Platypus's feet are webbed, enabling them to swim fast and efficiently and move easily on muddy surfaces.

Answer:

What was the first hominid ancestor?

The first early hominid from Africa, the Taung child, as it was known, was a juvenile member of Australopithecus africanus, a species that lived one million to two million years ago, though at the time skeptical scientists said the chimpanzee-size braincase was too small for a hominid.
