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

Perceptions are a cognitive process because we often consciously and unconsciously interpret information gained through our perceptions, forming thoughts, opinions and emotional reactions. For instance, the smell of a particular flower may remind you of a specific person and bring back a pleasant memory.

In a forest, there would probably be a deer, and a deer tick. The tick will latch onto the deer's skin, bury its head in the flesh and suck its blood. This would be an example of parasitism because one is benefiting (the tick) and the other is harmed (the deer).
hope this helps :)
