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.

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

Earth’s water cycle, the movement of water between the oceans and the atmosphere, is an example of how the Earth is made up of d
klasskru [66]


True.

The earth is made of several subsystems or spheres that interact to form a complex and continuously changing (dynamic) state that is termed as the earth system.

Even though the earth system is a closed system, it self regulates through the subsystems  such as the water cycle and  carbon cycle.

The earth system is characterized by numerous overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled  over and over again. Cycles involve multiple spheres and systems interactions. Humans impact and are impacted by the cycles in various ways.
