Biology

gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Cleaving a flatworm into pieces would not kill the flatworm as each piece would turn into a new flatworm. The mechanism is known as fragmentation. In multicellular species, fragmentation refers to a kind of asexual reproduction in which a species gets cleaved into fragments.  

Each of these fragments forms into completely developed, mature individuals, which are similar to their parents. Fragmentation is also called splitting, it is a mode of reproduction witnessed in various species like molds, filamentous cyanobacteria, lichens, various plants, and animals like flatworms, sponges, sea stars, and some annelids.

Answer:

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg equation is presented below and describes that in a population the frequency of alleles ad genotypes will remain static or the same in the absence of evolutionary disturbances such as mutation, migration ( gene flow), natural selection and with the population large and random mating

p² +2pq + q²

where p represents the frequency of the dominant alleles

q represent the frequency of the recessive alleles

p² represent the frequency of the dominant homozygous genotype

q² represent the frequency of the recessive homozygous genotype

2pq represent the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

q² also represent the frequency of the recessive phenotype

(p² + 2pq) represent the frequency of the dominant phenotype
