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

What is one way that temperature affects mechanical weathering?
Ket [755]

Answer:

Temperature changes can also contribute to mechanical weathering in a process called thermal stress. Changes in temperature cause rock to expand (with heat) and contract (with cold). As this happens over and over again, the structure of the rock weakens.

Explanation:

C. They make it more fluid

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophilic head and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic tail; their arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Cholesterol, which is comparatively rigid, anchors other molecules attached to the membrane, maintain membrane stability or structural integrity  and aid in separating some lipids, helping with membrane fluidity at low environmental temperatures.

Why would water front realtors want to preserve the riparian zone?
MissTica
The correct option is E.
The Ripariana zone is an interface between land and a body of water, especially rivers and streams. The riparian zone is home to many animals which move between land and water. The riparian zone provides many recreational and environmental benefits to streams, underground water and downstream land areas. <span />
