The value of Q is 0.44 if 20 organisms of 100 organisms are green.

Explanation:

Data given:

alleles for the color of eyes of fly:

blue allele = dominant represented by P

green allele = recessive, represented by Q

total number of organism = 100

number of recessive trait organism, q^{2} = 20

Q =?

The allele frequency of the green eye is calculated as:

\frac{total number of recessive alleles}{total number of all alleles}

= \frac{20}{100}

q^{2}= 0.2

q = \sqrt{0.2}

q = 0.44

0.44 is the frequency of Q allele in the population.

Q is the homozygous recessive alleles in the population and its value is 0.44.

Explain how a streamlined, smooth, nearly hairless body is a beneficial adaptation for marine animals.
lana66690 [7]

Most of the marine animals have a stream lined body, which means, they have a sharp and pointed at the front. The pointed front of the organism allow to cut the resistance of the water. In case, the body is not pointed at the front and it is blunt, the water current and flow would resist the movement of the organism further. So, for the locomotion purpose, it is important to have a streamlined body. Further smooth and hair less body also decrease the resistance during the movement in the water.

The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in the gametes of this anima
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

There will be 12 chromosomes

Explanation:

We have given that The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes

We have to find the number of chromosomes present in the gametes of this animal

We know that number of chromosomes present in the gametes is given by

\frac{number\ of\ chromosmes\ present\ in\ skin}{2}

So number of chromosomes in gametes =\frac{24}{2}=12chromosomes
