Answer:

Heterozygosity

Explanation:

The correct term that could explain the phenomenon is heterozygosity.

<u>In heterozygous condition, a gene is made up of two different alleles in which one would be dominant and the other would be recessive. </u>

<em>In heterozygous purple plants in which the alternate color is white, the white color is not expressed because its allele is in a recessive state. If two heterozygous plants are mated, the recessive allele in each plant would combine into some of the offspring, resulting in the production of white color progeny in addition to the dominant purple color progeny.</em>

Let us assume that the purple color allele is P and the white color is p.

   Pp    x    Pp

 PP  Pp  Pp  pp

PP and Pp - purple color

pp - white color.

Consider the following hypothetical population and compute the statistical measures below: #births = 50,000; #deaths = 10,000; #
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The birth rate refers to an average number of births in one year per thousand individuals in the population at mid-year.  

BR = (total birth in an annum / total population in mid year) * 1000

BR = (50000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 50

Death rate refers to an average number of death in an annum per thousand individuals in a population at mid year. Thus,  

DR = (total death / total population in mid year) * 1000

DR = (10000 / 1000000) * 1000 = 10

Annual population growth rate or APGR is calculated as:  

APGR = (Birth rate - Death rate) / Death rate

APGR = (50 - 10) / 10 = 4.0 %

Doubling time is the whole sum time needed for a population to get double in size. It is calculated as DT = ln (2) / growth rate

70 / 4.0 = 17.5 years

Thus, population will get double in 17.5 years.  

Adjusted (true) growth rate is equal to APGR + (NMR / Death rate)

And NMR = [(immigrants -emigrants) / total population] * 1000

NMR = [(5000 - 20000) / 1000000] * 1000 = -15

Thus, Adjusted (True) growth rate = 4.0 + (-15 /10) = -6%

The adjusted (true) doubling time = ln (2) / Adjusted growth rate  

= 70 / -6 = -11.66

This negative sign shows that it will never get double in such situation.

How does the respiratory system affect the cardiovascular system
Anit [1.1K]

Blood is the fuel that keeps you going! Oxygenated blood is brought to organs and tissues via the arteries, while veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart to be replenished. The point is, without the respiratory system your blood would be useless.

The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.
