Answer:

Frequency of recessive allele 0.61

Explanation:

Given -

Total Population size = 919

Number of individual with recessive genotype = 341

Frequency of recessive genotype

\frac{341}{919} = 0.37

Frequency of recessive allele = \sqrt{0.37}  = 0.609 = 0.61

Hence, option C is correct

Capillary action is how plants draw moisture from the soil into their roots and stems. Explain the relationship between capillar
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Capillary action refers to the motion of the liquid along the solid surface resulting due to the attraction of the molecules of the liquid. Capillary action is used by the plants to bring water up to the roots and then from stems to the remaining parts of the plant. The liquid molecules are fascinated by the molecules present within the stem. This attraction is utilized to assist the water to move up from the ground and to get distributed to all the parts of the plant.  

There are three intermolecular forces that play an essential role in the procedure of capillary action:  

1. Adhesion refers to the procedure of combining one substance with another. In plants, adhesion permits the water to attach with the plant's organic tissues.  

2. Cohesion maintains the molecules of a similar substance to remain in combination. In plants, cohesion makes the molecules of water to stay together.  

3. Surface tension refers to the influence of the intermolecular attraction, which makes liquids to produce a top or outer layer that works like a kind of thin film. Surface tension is accountable for the water drops to attain its shape and for holding the compositions together as plants soak up the water.

Describe how cancer cells are different from other cells. Based on that, explain why cancer is so hard to cure.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Cancer cells are cells that basically bypass any sort of regulatory processes in the cell cycle (and mitosis - the splitting of the cell). This leads to uncontrollable cell growth/duplication which hence leads to more and more cancerous cells. Cancer itself is so hard to cure for a couple of different reasons. If the cells are in the form of a benign tumor, that is a tumor that does not spread from its original infected tissue, it should be "easy" to remove with surgery. However, if it metastasizes, or spreads into surrounding tissues through the lymph or blood systems, then it becomes even harder to remove because of its far reach and complex structure. Also, cancer cells can be simply described as normal body cells that have gone rogue. That being said, things such as antibiotics, that are designed to get rid of foreign bodies, cannot get rid of cancerous cells without getting rid of most of your regular body cells as well simply because they cannot tell the difference.

Hope this helps :)

Hello to answer your question.

A is correct
 But more likely forest fires would be the culprit because the trees produce O2
 so when the are burnt, it would be like everybody o this earth breathed out at   once causing CO2 to be released in to the atmostphere in a big burst
