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)

Name the area on a cladogram that represents the point from which the species split from the ancestor.
Rama09 [41]

Answer: Node

Explanation:

Cladograms are a graphical representation of the evolutionary relationship between organisms. These are usually shown as branches from a central point, which represents a common ancestor. In rooted cladograms, the branches are shown relative to the time elapsed since evolving from a common ancestor joined at the node, or point of divergence.

Evolution typically occurs after accumulating mutation, and natural selection of beneficial traits that confer greater chances for survival.

Pollination is an example of ________.
Karolina [17]

The correct answer is C. An ecosystem service

Explanation:

In ecology, an ecosystem service refers to processes or elements that are part of the natural environment but besides this represent benefits for humans, this includes organisms and processes involved in the decomposition of waste and also pollination. Pollination is an example of an ecosystem service because, in pollination insects, birds and other organism or even wind transfer pollen which makes possible plants fertilization and this is essential for crops in agriculture, which means humans benefit for pollination and therefore this is an ecosystem service.
