Explain the importance of understanding the process of evolution.

Biology
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Knowing the evolutionary relationships among species allows scientists to choose appropriate organisms for the study of diseases, such as HIV. Scientists are even using the principles of natural selection to identify new drugs for detecting and treating diseases such as cancer. Environmental change and isolation of groups of organisms play an important role in evolution. Environmental change is any change in an environment to which an organism must adapt. Change can be gradual, such as when mountains or deserts form, other species die out, or new species evolve.

When methane (CH4) combines with oxygen (O2), carbon
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C. CH4 + 202 – CO2 + 2H20

Explanation:

CH4+O2-CO2+H20

The above equation represents combustion of methane to produce carbon-dioxide and water.

One carbon atom is present on the reactant side as well as on the product side. Four hydrogen atoms are present on the reactant side  and two hydrogen atoms on product side. In order to balance this equation, we would multiply water molecule by two. Now there are four atoms of oxygen in the product side but only two on reactant side, so we will multiply oxygen molecule by two on the reactant side. Now the equation is balanced.

The balanced chemical equation is:

CH4+202-CO2+2H2O

This equation obeys the law of conservation of mass as the mass of the reactants is same as that of the products.

Explain what terms in the Hardy-Weinberg equation give: allele frequencies (dominant allele, recessive allele, etc.) each genoty
zysi [14]

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

Answer:

The offsprings of this punnet square will be Dd, Dd, dd and dd in a ratio 1Dd : 1dd

See attached image for punnet square completion

Explanation:

This question involves a cross involving a single gene with alleles D and d where allele D is dominant over allele d i.e. D will mask the phenotypic expression of d in a heterozygous state.

This cross is between a heterozygous parent (Dd) and a homozygous recessive parent (dd). Parent Dd will produce gametes D and d while parent dd will produce gametes d and d.

Using these gametes in a punnet square, four possible offsprings with two distinct genotypes will be produced. The genotypes are: Dd and dd in a ratio 1:1

Hence, the possibility of having a heterozygous dominant offspring is 1/2 while the possibility of having a homozygous recessive offspring is also 1/2.
