In the year 2500, five male space colonists and five female space colonists from Earth settle on an uninhabited Earth like plane

t in the Andromeda galaxy. The colonists and their off-spring randomly mate for generations. All ten of the original colonists had free earlobes, and two are heterozygous for that trait. The allele for freeear lobes is dominant to the allele for attached ear lobes.

3 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 0.1 a, 0.9 A

Explanation:

The initial population of the colonist had free earlobes which are represented by A here as it is dominant and attached is represent by a. purebred dominant would have AA.

Frequency of allele A =

8 pure dominant and 2 heterozygous dominant presents in the population

So, frequency of A allele = 8 x 2 + 2 / 20

= 18/20

= 0.9

As we know

p+q=1;

frequency of allele "a" = 1-p

= 1-0.9

= 0.1

Why are multiple forms of documentation used at the scene of a mysterious death (note taking, sketching, photography, or videogr
Andreyy89

Answer: Multiple forms of documentation are used at the scene of a mysterious death, it gives the summary of the investigation at a glance.

Some of these forms of documentation are Note taking, Sketching, Photography or Videography.

NOTE TAKING; Field notes are always personal to the person that made/took them,

They are the most personal and readily available record of the crime scene search.

Field notes are the most important steps in documenting a crime scene initially.

SKETCHING; Sketching,as unimportant as it may seem has a potential benefit of complementing photograph and videos and also,crime scene sketch shows certain details about an investigation better more than a photograph.

PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY; Photographs and videos are excellent sources of evidence of a crime,they are good evidence to document a crime scene.

They can either be in the form of film or digital format.

It is always adviceable to employ digital photography/videography as it fast becoming a standard in crime scene documentation rapidly.
