Answer:
a. purple allele (C) = 0.609, pink allele (c) = 0.391
b. purple homozygotes = 371, pink homozygotes = 153, heterozygotes = 476
Explanation:
Given -
Purple flowers - 847
Pink flowers - 153
The frequency of recessive genotype i.e
Frequency of recessive allele i.e q is equal to
As per hardy Weinberg's first equilibrium equation -
Frequency of purple homozygous species
Number of purple homozygous species 
Number of pink homozygous species 
Heterozygous species is equal to
Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.
The functions of nematodes:
- Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
- Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
- They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
- They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
- They acts as potential bio- control agents.
Answer:
The correct statement concerning the cell membrane lipid molecules is that "energy is not expended during diffusion" (Option d)
Explanation:
Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, and their hydrophobic tails against each other. Membranes are fluid, which means that molecules that form it have the capability to move through it.
Lipids can easily change places with other neighbor lipids by <u>lateral diffusion</u> in the same layer. This is passive diffusion, which means that it does not need energy to happen.
Lipids can also diffuse transversally to the other layer, but this kind of movement is not as easy as lateral diffusion.
There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.
Through this lipidic bilayer, there is also a passive transport of some particles from one side of the cell to the other which happens because of concentration differences.
Answer:
Wild forest fires cause extensive damage to flora and fauna and result in the destruction of man-made property in and around the area of the fire. To maintain the health of the forest and prevent the large wild forest people or man]nagers use prescribe fire or controlled fired when there is no risk of loss of life and resources.
These controlled fires are used by forest officials and fire managers to prevent or keep wildfires at bay. It helps in cleared-off areas by playing the role of a barrier for fire from spreading further.
There is always the risk of flora fauna and the life of wild animals. They can get killed and lose their habitat and the smoke rose from this fire causes for environmental concern too.
