t tall allele (T) or a recessive short allele (t). Which of the following is a reason that this population is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A. The pea plants are mated at random.
B. Both alleles ensure equal survival.
C. One pea plant mutates to have a new allele.
D. Every pea plant reproduces exactly once.

The answer is One pea plant mutates to have a new allele.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium refers to the equilibrium of the gene frequencies in a population from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences.

The Hardy-Weinberg assumptions for this equilibrium are:

  • Random mating
  • No mutation
  • No natural selection
  • No emigration and immigration  
  • Large population size

Thus, the formation of a new allele by mutation would disturb the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]

WILL IVE BRAIN?? Why might humans not have widespread regeneration abilities?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: because mammals have more complex biological structures; limb regeneration would require sophisticated controls to ensure that limbs and organs don’t grow out of control.

if a cat has a short tail it has ss alleles for tail length. if it has a long tail, what are the possible alleles it could have
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

SS,or Ss

Explanation:

If the alleles for short tail length is ss then it would be opposite for long tail length such as SS and if the long gene is in front then it will have the long alleles such as Ss

Hope this was helpful
