Answer:
d. pxp +2pq
Explanation:
The formula for genotype frequency for a population in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium is as under:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
where, p = dominant allele
q = recessive allele
Here,
p² represents frequency of homozygous dominant genotype
2pq represents frequency of heterozygous genotype
q² represents frequency of homozygous recessive genotype
Also, although the genotypes p² & 2pq are different from each other yet phenotypically they both will collectively produce dominant trait i.e. free ear lobes not attached earlobes. So the term "p² + 2pq or pxp + 2pq" represents the frequency of the individuals who show the dominant phenotype in this particular population. Dominant phenotype will comprise 75% of the population.
The "GM" here refers to "genetically modified" plants - they are modified by food engineers to better suit our wishes.
One benefit of those plants is that those plants would be better for humans: for example they would have sweeter flesh or less seeds (this is something that happened to watermelon through the selection of best watermelons throughout the centuries).
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>It is not true to say that common ancestors occurs only within a single species rather two species with similar traits might have a common ancestor. </em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
If the ancestor is same for both the species then it is said that both the species are closely related and share common ancestor with similar evolutionary relationship.
Phylogenetic tree are drawn and studies are done to understand the ancestor of a species. The evolution has occurred from the ancestor to the new species formed.
the correct answer is haploid
