I say the answer to your question is False because Day and Night are caused by the rotation on its axis!
Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.
List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert
The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.
Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.
Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.
Answer:
Explanation:
•Variation: Organism shows variation within a population, these variation could be body size, facial marks, hair color, number of offspring, etc. Also some features shows little or no variation, for example the number of eyes a vertebrate have, etc
•Inheritance: Certain traits are always passed from parents to their offsprings, these traits are called HERITABLE TRAITS. But traits that are exhibited as a result of an environment are termed weak heritable traits.
•High rate of population growth: When the number of offsprings produced in a year is greater than the resources within an environment, such population will experience high rate of mortality.
•Differential Survival and reproduction: The ability possessed by an individual to struggle for survival within it's environment will give rise to more offspring in the next generation.
A Genetic cross also cross breeding is the deliberate breeding of two different individuals that results to offspring that carry part the genetic material of each parent. A monohybrid cross is the breeding of two organisms that differ in a single trait. A hybrid is an offspring from a cross between parents and has different phenotypes for a specific trait.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/41,493
Explanation:
Let assume the frequency of the two possible same allele genotype (dominant and recessive) in an inbred population is p and q. Then the frequency of heterozygotes (H) is denoted as:
2pq + 2pqF. ( where F is the inbreeding coefficient).
The frequency of the two different hoozygotes in inbred population can be calculated as:
p2 + pqF and q2 + pqF. (Where p and q are the allele frequency of the dominant and recessive phenotype.
Given: Frequency of Alkaptonuria (q 2) = 1:500, 000
=> q = 1/707
p = 706/707 ( Approx values)
solution:
Inbreeding coefficient (F) = 1/64
Therefore,
Frequency of Alkaptonuria in second cousins= q 2 + pqF
= 1/500, 000 + (706/707 x 1/707) x (1/64)
= 1/500, 000 + 1/45, 248
= 1/41,493 (approx)
