Producers get the energy they need from the sun. Consumers get their energy from the plants and animals that they eat. Decomposers get energy from eating dead plants and animals.<span />

Answer:

Producers obtain energy from sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers, and decomposers obtain their energy from dead living beings.

Explanation:

Producers produce their food by themselves as they are autotrophic. They obtain mostly their food and energy from the light energy comes from the sun, by the process of photosynthesis.

Consumers are depending on producers for their energy and food. They get energy from producers they eat as food and convert energy from it.

Decomposers get their food or energy by decaying dead living beings or other organic matter. They change these organic matter to energy.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.

Can you help with number 5? I didn’t feel like writing it.
Leno4ka [110]

From what I can see in the picture, the cell appears that it would take up half of the microscopes view if it were to be pushed to the very edge on one side.

That would be the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, and half of 0.8 mm would be 0.4 mm. The length of the cell is about 0.4 mm.

Now for the width. Since the diameter of the FoV (field of view) is 0.8, we can see that the cell doesn't reach both sides of the circle it is in. It also doesn't appear to take up half of it. So, to get the aprox. width of the cell, we're going to half the radius.

Half of 0.4 mm is 0.2 mm, so the width of your cell is about 0.2 mm.

Just considering one locus (a specific location on a DNA strand), evidence at a crime scene shows a genotype of 5, 9 STR repeats
marta [7]

Answer:

0.1 x 0.3 = 0.03 = 3%

Explanation:

Assuming a process of random mating in the population, it is possible to infer that the genotype frequencies will be the product of the allele frequencies. The random mating is one of the postulates of the Hardy-Weinberg Law, which is widely used in population genetics to estimate genotypic frequencies when populations are expected to be in an equilibrium state (it is also expected by default in human populations).  In this case, the genotype frequencies will be certainly low (3%), thereby this locus may be useful to investigate a police case.
