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).

tekilochka [14]
Background extinction refers to the normal extinction rate. These are species that go extinct simply because not all life can be sustained on Earth and some species simply cannot survive. Mass extinction is a widespread event that wipes out the majority (over 50%) of living plants and animals.

Which choice best describes the parts of the water cycle? The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The w
Travka [436]

Answer:

The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses and forms precipitation. The precipitation then falls back to the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

<u>The water cycle is an illustration of how water continuously moves or circulates between the atmosphere and the various parts of the earth. </u>

<em>Evaporation of water from the surface of the earth by the thermal energy from the sun causes water to leave the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. When the atmospheric water vapor (humidity) at the upper strata of the atmosphere becomes high, the vapor condenses to form clouds which later forms precipitation that falls back to the surface of the earth.</em>

The ocean's tidal energy does not cause water to cycle on earth.
