You have spent time working with a population of beetles. Males range in size from 2 to 6 cm in body length. You realize that th

e females only mate with males that measure less than 3 cm long. If you measured allele frequencies at a single locus that contributes to overall body length, would you expect this population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the body length gene from one generation to the next?

Answer:

b. No

Explanation:

For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is necessary that the crossings be made completely at random, in the most random way possible. This is not what is happening in the population shown in the question above. This is because if, females only mate with males that are 3 cm long, it means that the crossings are not random, this is occurring preferentially in a specific group of males.

Answer:

B. No

Explanation:

First, let's watch what it looks like when a population is not evolving. If a population is in a state called Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of alleles, or gene versions, and genotypes, or sets of alleles, in that population will stay the same over generations (and will also satisfy the Hardy-Weinberg equation). Formally, evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over a very long period of time, so a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not evolving.

Which of the following make mechanical obstruction of the intestinal lumen of the small or large bowel an acute emergency?
Julli [10]

Distention from accumulating gas and fluid impede venous return, leading to bowel wall ischemia.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the bowel lumen is obstructed, the gases and fuids starts accumulating as a repose to the obstruction. The accumulated fluid and gases results in the swelling or enlargement. This will result in the production of electrolytes and water inside the mumen that is in obstruction. The wall of the bowle will also enlarge and becomes swollen.

As more and more fluid and gas gets accumulated in the bowel, the bowel wall will be enlarged and as there is an increase in the pressure due to this accumulation, the fluid starts to leak from the wall. This will enter peritoneum and necrosis. This will result in an acute emergency when it becomes serious.

Which hormone progesterone or estrogen, is present in *greater* quantities in birth control pills?
podryga [215]

Answer:

estrogen

Explanation:

Birth control pills contain synthetic hormones which are naturally produced by females. These pills are used to prevent ovulation by maintaining a level hormone balance, so no egg is released. Combination pills contain estrogen and progestin, while progestin-only pills (also known as the minipill) don't contain estrogen. Progestins are synthetic hormones that act to mimic the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. Progestin-only pills are recommended in women who cannot take estrogen.
