Answer: C. The sun's rays strikes the water at an angle at the poles.

Because the earth rotates at a tilted axis which causes the difference in temperature of water near the equator and water far from equator.  The equator receives direct light from sun the tilted axis prevents the poles from receiving direct sunlight but it receives at an angle.Tilt also causes other effects like extreme length of day and night at polar region.

Question involving the equations for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (A^2+2Aa+a^2=1, A+a=1)
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Frequency of dominant allele is 0.9029

Explanation:

Total number of organisms = 12,845

Number of organisms representing dominant trait = 11,596. These organisms might have heterozygotes with one dominant allele and one recessive allele.

Hence, Number of organisms with recessive alleles = 12845 – 11596 = 1249

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 1249/12845 = 0.0971

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1- q = 1-  0.0971 = 0.9029
