Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

When carbon attached to oxygen, they form covalent bonds, in these kind of bonds, atoms share electrons to acquire stability.

Atoms acquire stability when they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.

When carbon share electrons with oxygen they acquire 8 electrons and they are stable.

See the picture below

Red is carbon and blue oxygen

You have a population of 1000 people, and you are looking at the population genetics of a blood marker that has two alleles. The
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Genotypic frequency (How often the allele combination shows YY, Yy or yy)

YY - 490/1000 = 0.49

Yy - 420/1000 = 0.42

yy - 90/1000 = 0.09

Allelic frequency (How often the allele shows Y or y)

P = Frequency of Y = (490+420)/1000 = 0.91

q = Frequency of Y =(420+90)/1000 = 0.51

The population isn't in equilibrium according to Hardy-Weinberg because p + q is more than one.

Hardy-Weinberg equation is p+q =1

P^2 +2pq + q^2 = 1

The Hardy-Weinberg assumption the population violated is that there is gene flow as seen in the Allelic frequency that is more than 1

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it is not evolving, and allele frequencies will stay the same across generations.

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection.

If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population may evolve for that gene (the gene's allele frequencies may change).

What happens when the concentration of salt molecules is lower outside the cell than inside
miskamm [114]
A scenario such as this often defines the extracellular fluid as being "hypertonic", simply meaning that the fluid surrounding the cell has a higher solute concentration than that of the cell. Hypertonicity would subsequently result in "crenation" of the cell. This means that in order to maintain equilibrium, the intracellular fluid rushes into the extracellular environment and the cell shrivels.

A specialized species_<br> ?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

A generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources. A specialist species can thrive only in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet. Most organisms do not all fit neatly into either group, however

Why do we need to classify organisms?
seraphim [82]
The classification of organisms is achieved in the branch of science called taxonomy. Classification is important  in order for future references and understanding of the common properties and characteristics of organisms for research and easy skimming of characteristics. This is for organization and convenience purposes

Describe the characteristic that defines members of the kingdom Plantae. Describe four characteristics that distinguish land pla
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

1) The general characteristics of kingdom plantae are as follows −. Multicellular organisms with walled and frequently vacuolated. Eukaryotic cells. Contain photosynthetic pigments which are present in plastids. They are autotrophic mode of nutrition. Plants are non-motile, live anchored to a substrate.  Autotrophic : All plants are autotrophic, making and producing their own food and nutrients, without needing others to provide it for them.

 Multicellular : All plants all multicellular, meaning they are composed of more than one cell, which is what makes them visible to our naked eyes.

Eukaryotic: All plants are eukaryotic, meaning their cells all contain a nucleus, which is one of the organelles of the cell surrounded in a cell membrane. four characteristics that distinguish land plants from charophyte algae.

2) Alternation of generations (w/ an associated trait of multicellular, dependent embryos), walled spores produced in sporangia, multicellular gametangia, and apical meristems. These are evolved traits of land plants. Not all plants have retained these traits.

Explanation:

I added explanations inside the answer. I hope it make sense.
