The correct answer is E)52
When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in this case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. Let's put that A is dominant and a is recessive allele. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we have:
p²+2*p*q+q²= 1 p+q=1 p=1-q
f(a) =0.4=q q²=0.4²=0.16=16%
p= 1-0.4=0.6 p²=0.6²=0.36=36%
Percentage of a homozygous genotype in the population is 16%+36%=52%
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
- Archaea are the closest modern relatives of Earth's first living cells
- Archaea are famous because of living in extreme environments
- If it’s super hot (more than 100° Celsius), freezing, acidic, alkaline, salty, deep in the ocean, even bombarded by gamma or UV radiation, there’s probably life there, and that life is probably archaeal species
- They’re also considered very resourceful
- Many forms of archaea can utilize totally inorganic forms of matter—hydrogen, carbon dioxide or ammonia for example—to generate organic matter themselves
Answer:
Synergism
Explanation:
Synergism is defined as the cooperation of two or more microorganisms that result in a heightened response or greater effectiveness.
Answer:
Natural selection causes change in allele frequencies within a population.
So option A is correct one.
Explanation:
Natural selection generally work on an organism’s phenotype, or observable features. Phenotype is often largely a product of genotype (the alleles, or gene versions, the organism carries). When a phenotype produced by certain alleles helps organisms survive and reproduce better than their peers, natural selection can increase the frequency of the helpful alleles from one generation to the next – that is, it can cause microevolution.
