Answer:

0,58

Explanation:

Mice are diploid (2n) organisms, which means that their cells contain two complete sets of homo-logous chromosomes (i.e., they have two copies of any given <em>locus</em>/gene). An allele can be defined as a variant of a gene, whereas diploid (2n) organisms have two alleles at each genetic <em>locus</em>, which are located on homo-logous chromosomes. In this case, we know that there are 580 dominant alleles in a population of 500 individuals, thereby the total number of alleles in this population is 1000 (2n >> 500 x 2 = 1000 alleles), and the frequency of the dominant allele is 0,58 (580/1000 = 0,58).

Nutka1998 [239]

A species that is involved in a facultative mutualism with another: can utilize different resources outside of the mutualism.

Explanation:

  • Mutualism is a type of ecological relationship in which two organisms are related to each other in such a way that both of them could benefit from the relationship.
  • A type of mutualism in which the two organism cannot depend  on any other resource outside their mutualistic relationship is called obligate mutualism.
  • A type of mutualism, in which the participating organisms can opt for other resources outside their mutualistic relatonship i.e. they are not completely dependent on each other, is called facultative mutualism.
