Answer:

Lentic is a class of aquatic ecosystems that are found on land, such as:

ponds

rivers

lakes

swamps

streams

Mostly, lentic ecosystems are described as still bodies of freshwater, and they are smaller ecosystems. Some lentic ecosystems contain animals and microorganisms, but they mostly rely on the photosynthesis of algae and underwater plants to produce energy to thrive. One of the requirements of a lentic body of water is that it is exposed to the sun to encourage photosynthesis.

Explanation:

A lentic ecosystem entails a body of standing water, ranging from ditches, seeps, ponds, seasonal pools, basin marshes and lakes. Deeper waters, such as lakes, may have layers of ecosystems, influenced by light. Ponds, due to their having more light penetration, are able to support a diverse range of water plants.

In a hardy-weinberg population with two alleles, a and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.2. what is the

Allushta [10]

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is as follows:
$( {p + q})^{2} = 1$
${p}^{2} +2pq + {q}^{2} = 1$
Where:
(convert all % to decimals)

p= homozygous dominant
q= homozygous recessive
pq= heterozygous

While you did not specify whether the 0.2 frequency was for dominant or recessive, we can still figure out the answer.

Using the 1st equation, we can solve for the other dominant/recessive frequency:

1-0.2=0.8

Meaning that:

p= 0.8 & q=0.2

If the heterozygouz frequency is 2pq, then it becomes a simple "plug & chug" sort of approach.

2(0.8)(0.2)= 2(0.16)= 0.32

So, the heterozygous frequency would be:
0.32

Hope this helps!

A population of tree frogs lives in a forest. A river runs through the middle of the forest. A particularly snowy winter is foll

Sedaia [141]

The flooding of half part of the forest have successful separate the population of frogs in that ecosystem into two different set of frogs. This is an example of allopatric speciation, that is, the population become separated as a result of geographical barrier. This separation will make the two set of frog population to become new species. On the long run, the two species may become unable to relate sexually.

Compare and contrast life on the raft to life on the shore in huckleberry finn

SOVA2 [1]

The comparison and contrast between the raft and the shore has something to do with freedom. On the river, Huck and Jim are free from the legal, societal and cultural structures which is the opposite if they were on the shore. However, their freedom on the raft was only for a short period of time. When they went back on the shore, they were once again forced to comply with the laws. The similarities between the raft and the shore are natural. They are both are connected with geographical features.
