We will use the Hardy-Weinberg equation ; p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1
q2 represent the frequency of the recessive trait in the population which is 400/10000 = 0.04. Then find frequency of the recessive allele.
q = 0.2. While we understand that p+q =1 ; p = 1-q ; p = 1-0.2 =0.8.
2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous trait in the population. Therefore 2*0.8*0.2 =0.32
0.32*10000 = 3200

Two objects of the same mass are on two different planets. Planet A has a force of gravity that is weaker than that of planet B.
galina1969 [7]

The answer would be B, The weight of the object on planet A will be greater than the weight of the object on planet B.

This is correct because the force of gravity on planet A pushes down on the mass to make it greater

This is also correct because I got it right on my test, hope this helps.

What are red blood cells and what do they do?
Verdich [7]
Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. They typically live for about 120 days, and then they die.
