Hippos likely evolved from a group of anthracotheres about 15 million years ago, the first whales evolved over 50 million years ago, and the ancestor of both these groups was terrestrial. These first whales, such as Pakicetus, were typical land animals. They had long skulls and large carnivorous teeth. Hope I’ve helped ;)
Answer:
5.) The possible genotypes should be: RR RB BB ( if the could for the same proteins)
6.) Frequency of R: 0.5
7.)Frequency of R: 0.5
8.)Frequency of R: 0.375
Explanation:
5.) If R and B code for the different forms of the same protein then they are only a few possible out comes
6.) First calculate the total alleles in population
allele R= 40
Allele B=40
total allele = R+B= 40+40
=80
Now to find allele R frequency is:
(Total R alleles) / (Total allele in pop)
40/80=
0.5
7.)Calculate the total alleles
Alleles from for R
RR= 10
R=10x 2= 20
Multiply the value by 2 because there are 2 R alleles present in
RB=20
R=20
Number doesn't change there is only 1 R allele
Total R=20+20
=40
Alleles For B
BB=10
B=10×2
=20
Same thing here, two B alleles together so multiple by 2
RB=20
B=20
Total B= 20+20
=40
Total alleles in pop add
40+40
=80
Frequency of R
Total of R/Total Alleles
=40/80
=0.5
8.)Repeat the same thing in 7 but use different numbers
RR=10
R=10x2
=20
RB=10
R=10
Total R= 20+10
=30
