What might happen within an ecosystem if the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits?
ozzi
If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)

Jason is trying to explain to his friend how the body stores energy. Which analogy would best suit Jason's explanation?
harina [27]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice.

The best analogy would be: the body storing energy is like a car holding gas: the car's gas tank keeps the gas until it is needed.

Answer: 60%

Explanation:

In population genetics, the Hardy-Weinberg Principle states that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors are active and no mutations occur.

The frequencies of the genotypes of an individual locus will be set to a particular equilibrium value.<u> It also specifies that these equilibrium frequencies can be represented as a simple function of the allelic frequencies at that locus</u>. In the simplest case, with a locus with two alleles A and a, with allele frequencies of p and q respectively, the principle predicts that <u>the genotypic frequency for the dominant homozygous AA is p^2, that of the heterozygous Aa is 2pq and that of the recessive homozygous aa, is q^2. The allele frequency of a is represented as p and the frequency of recessive allele is q.</u>

The three genotypes AA : Aa : aa appear in a ratio p² : 2pq : q². If we add them up, we get the unit:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = (p + q)^2 = 1  

And p + q = 1

<u>Rh-positive genotypes are represented as AA (homozygous dominant) or Aa (heterozygous) since the presence of a single dominant allele is sufficient to express the phenotype. While Rh-negative genotypes are represented as aa. </u>

If 84% of the population is Rh-positive, that means that this percentage includes all those who are AA and Aa. Then 16% are aa.

F(aa)=q^2=0.16

then F(a)=q=0.4

And since p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, then p is 0.6

We can also calculate the rest, then F(AA)=p^2= 0.36

So F(Aa)= 2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48

Notice that 0.36 + 0.16 + 0.48 = 1
