Answer:

Explanation

Given that 36% are recessive in traits

100-36 = 64% for dominant traits considering a whole population to be 100%

P=dominant allele

q= recessive allele

P2= dominant genotype

q2= recessive genotype

according to hardyweinberg principle, p+q=1

64/100= 0.64 frequency for dominant traits or genotype, therefore

p2=0.64

then

P=√0.64

p= 0.8

Therefore, dominant allele frequency (p) for the population is 0.8

Hybridization _____.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: c) usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.

Explanation:

Hybridization, also knowns as selective breeding, is an <u>artificial process</u><u> that involves selecting parents with specific characteristics in order to obtain an offspring with the same traits</u>.

Hybridization is very common and has been performed by humans for thousands of years: from selective breeding crop plants, to do so with dogs in order to create more desirable breeds.

Option A is incorrect because hybridation does not occur in nature, it is an artificial process.

Option B is incorrect because hybridation often happens when the selected parents are chosen to reproduce (by a human).

Option D is correct because an important amount of hybrids are sterile (for example: mules).

Option D is incorrect as well because the offspring is not identical: it shares a combination of genes from both parents.

<span>The mitochondria in eukaryotic cells originated from prokaryotic cells, bacteria that were once free-living. The mitochondria have their own DNA, which is inherited from the mother in most species. Similarly, plant cells have organelles called plastids which contain their own DNA and originated from free-living bacteria. The chloroplasts in plant cells, which convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy via photosynthesis, are a kind of plastid, and they originated from bacteria that could do photosynthesis.</span>
