"Dissolved oxygen in seawater is used as an indicator of primary production (as its surrogate, so to speak) because the amount of molecular oxygen produced during photosynthesis is directly proportional to the amount of carbon fixed during photosynthesis, and determining the amount of dissolved oxygen is much easier to do."

The frequency of autosomal alleles K and k in a large population of snails is 0.6 and 0.4. What is the approximate genotypic fre
Flura [38]

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F = \frac{2Kk-H}{2Kk}

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 = \frac{2\times2\times0.6\times0.4-H}{2\times0.6\times0.4}

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

explain how sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in many species of plants and animals, make sure to include the impo
faust18 [17]
Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to form a zygote. Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

How do both a bird and a reptile reproduce?
Zinaida [17]
The answer is b. They both lay amniotic eggs.

Both birds and reptiles belong to a clade of vertebrates, Amniotes, which lay amniotic eggs. Mammals also belong to Amniotes. Amniotic eggs can remain within the mother after fertilization or can be laid on land. On the other side, <u>an</u>amniotic eggs are usually laid in the water.
