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 is colder the east or west coast of southern Africa.why<br><br>​
Aneli [31]

West Coast water temperatures are much lower than those along the East Coast. ... This means Atlantic waters travel to the U.S. East Coast from the south and are relatively warm compared with West Coast Pacific waters that arrive from the north out of the chilly Gulf of Alaska.

The air above the cold Benguela current and upwelling region along the west coast is relatively dry and cold, contributing to the dry climate of the west coast. Moist air from the warm Indian Ocean and Agulhas Current is frequently transported into eastern South Africa by easterly winds.

kiruha [24]
<span>Excess nitrogen is brought in the pond from the fertilizer, which are ladden in nitrogen and phosphorous, and rain water or running water takes that nitrogen to the water bodies.Bacteria must have come from the sewage disposal in the pond. Sewage is rich in organic material and allows proliferation of bacteria, which is taken to the pond when the sewage is disposed in the pond.</span><span />
