Answer:

A) bat wing and human hand

Explanation:

Homology in biology  is existence of the shared ancestry between the pair of structures or the genes present in the different taxa.

<u>The most common example of the homologous structures is forelimbs of the vertebrates, where wings of the bats, arms of the primates, front flippers of the whales and forelegs of the dogs and the horses are all derived from same ancestral tetrapod structure. </u>

Homologous structures can be explained by evolutionary biology which states that these are adapted to the different purposes as  result of the descent with the modification from common ancestor.

A population has two possible alleles for a gene: W and w. The w allele occurs with a frequency of 0.84 in a population of clams
Zanzabum

Answer:

c. 0.026

Explanation:

Suppose the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. According to it,

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where p= frequency of dominant allele

q = frequency of recessive allele

p² = frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

q² = frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

2pq = frequency of heterozygous genotype

Here, q = w = 0.84

p = W = 1 -w = 1- 0.84= 0.16

W² = 0.16 * 0.16 = 0.0256 = 0.026

Hence, frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype = 0.026
