After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.
Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.
Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:
- Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
- The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
- The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
- Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia
Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

Answer: p (short hair) = 0.91 and q (long hair) = 0.09
Explanation: In the population, short hair is a feature of domnant allele, because there are more short haired individuals than with long hair. In genetics, p is the frequency for dominant allele and q is for recessive allele.
For this question, short hair is allele L and long hair is allele l
So, the frequency of short hair is p and of long hair is q.
To calculate the frequencies:
Frequency of allele L = (number of copies of allele L in population) / (total number of L/l gene copies in population)
p = 182/200 = 0.91
The same formula goes for the recessive allele, so:
q = 18/200 = 0.09
Thus, the frequencies of hair allele are 0.91 and 0.09 for short and long, respectively.
