Scilla [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: option B) Statement is false

Explanation:

Living things are NOT composed only of organic elements. Organic elements refers to compounds of Carbon, whereas living things such as Vertebrates (man, shark, lion etc) possess bones, teeth with INORGANIC components like phosphorus, magnesium, calcium.

Also, nonliving things are NOT made up of only inorganic elements. A good example is the air we breathe, it is non-living, yet contains carbon in the form of Carbiondioxide.

Suppose a species of bird called the red-crested warbler has a plumage length that is controlled by a single gene. The Plm allel
AleksAgata [21]

We are going to have different allele frequencies for the two populations

North American:

72 birds total => 144 alleles

72 - 55 birds = 17 short plume birds.

q^2 = (2*17) / 114 = 0.236

Freq(short plume allele) = q = 0.486

Freq(long plume allele) = p = 1 - q = 0.514

From this North American population we get

0.486 * 114 = 55 long plume alleles

0.514 * 114 = 59 short plume alleles

South American:

252 birds total => 504 alleles

252 - 75 birds = 177 short plume birds.

q^2 = (2*177) / 504 = 0.702

Freq(short plume allele) = q = 0.838

Freq(long plume allele) = p = 1 - q = 0.162

From this South American population we get

0.162 * 504 = 82 long plume alleles

0.838 * 504 = 422 short plume alleles

Blended population has

55 + 82 = 137 long plume alleles

59 + 422 = 481 short plume alleles

137 + 481 = 618 total alleles

p = 137/618 = 0.222

q = 481/618 = 0.778

The new population has the p and q from the blended population. The new population has 1000 individuals. The portion of long plumed will be homozygote long plumage + heterozygote, which is p^2 + 2pq, and you multiply that by the population size 1000 to get the final answer.

population size * (p^2 + 2pq) = 1000 * (0.222^2 + 2*0.222*0.778) = 395 birds (answer)
