For this question, we will utilize a population of Martians that is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. The dominant Martian phenotyp

e is the possession of 2 antennae. In this population, 84 of the Martians have 2 antennae, while 16 lack antennae. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population?
a.o.16
b.0.4
c.0.6
d.0.24
d.0.48

Answer:

d.0.48

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:

freq (AA) = p²

freq (Aa) = 2pq

freq (aa) = q²

<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.

In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.

Therefore:

q²=16/100

q² = 0.16

q=√0.16

q = 0.4

And p+q=1, so:

p = 1 - q

p = 1-0.4

p = 0.6

The frequency of heterozygotes is:

freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6

freq (Aa) = 0.48

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Water pollution is known to be a growing problem of 21st century all over the world. As a result of water pollution, pure water is transferred to less scare day by day. The most unique advantage of aquatic environment is the existence of life, and the most special feature of life is its biodiversity. There are many reasons for water pollution that affected negatively biodiversity. The planet’s biological diversity is affected greatly by any human activity. Six threats affect aquatic biodiversity; climate change, overexploitation, water pollution, habitat degradation, flow modification and exotic species invasion. Biodiversity maintenance is considered one of the leading keys to ecosystem services retention. So it can be said that the ultimate challenge nowadays is the protection of freshwater biodiversity.
