Answer:

lagoon

Explanation:

As the estuary gets more and more sediments, the deposition of them is constantly on the rise, affecting the landscape and forming new geographical features. With the sediments constantly building up, they eventually cut off part of the water from the sea. They will form a closed pool-like feature, filled with water, and surrounded by sediments, cut off from the sea. It will have shallow water, and because the water is stagnant and shallow it will have higher temperature than the other water. This geographical feature is known as lagoon.

Answer:

0.0177

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease, thereby an individual must have both copies of the CFTR mutant alleles to have this disease. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous dominant genotype (normal phenotype), q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive genotype (cystic fibrosis phenotype), and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (individuals that carry one copy of the CFTR mutant allele). Moreover, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the dominant 'p' allele frequency and the recessive 'q' allele frequency is equal to 1. In this case, we can observe that the frequency of the homo-zygous recessive condition for cystic fibrosis (q²) is 1/3200. In consequence, the frequency of the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis can be calculated as follows:

1/3200 = q² (have two CFTR mutant alleles) >>  

q = √ (1/3200) = 1/56.57 >>

- Frequency of the CFTR allele q = 1/56.57 = 0.0177  

- Frequency of the dominant 'normal' allele p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.0177 = 0.9823
