Answer:
A) 0.1 a, 0.9 A
Explanation:
According to the given information, all the individuals in the founder population had free earlobes. Since the allele for the free earlobes (A) is dominant over the one for the attached earlobes (a), the genotype of each of the homozygous dominant founder individual would be "AA". Humans are diploid and one individual has two alleles for each gene in its genome. Total number of alleles for the earlobe in the founder population = 10 x 2 = 20.
Frequency of dominant allele, A in the founder population = total number of homozygous dominant individuals x 2 + the total number of heterozygous genotype / total alleles for the earlobe in the population. There were 8 homozygous dominant and 2 heterozygous dominant individuals in the population.
So, frequency of dominant allele = 8 x 2 + 2 / 20 = 16 + 2 / 20 = 18/20 = 0.9
Since p+q=1; frequency of recessive allele "a" = 1-p = 1-0.9 = 0.1

Chapter 5DNA, RNA, and the Flow of Genetic Information
DNA and RNA are long linear polymers, called nucleic acids, that carry information in a form that can be passed from one generation to the next. These macromolecules consist of a large number of linked nucleotides, each composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and a base.
Explanation:
Answer is C

First, we have to know the definition of the following vocabulary terms:
Abiotic = non-living
Biotic = living
Then, it's just a matter of seeing which answer choice has both a living organism and a non-living part of the ecosystem.
Correct Answer:
Algae and sunlight
- Algae is actually a living organism called a protist, which uses sunlight in a process called photosynthesis to create its own "energy" (just like plants).
- Sunlight is nonliving, but it is still an important part of the ecosystem especially for photosynthetic organisms like algae.
