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

jok3333 [9.3K]
Answer - D
Gametes always have half the number of chromosomes compared to the somatic cells, hence an unfertilized egg would have half the chromosomes from the mother, and a fertilized egg will contain diploid number of chromosomes. Half of them from inherited from each of the two parents.

Plant cells have mitochondria and chloroplasts.

Explanation:

Unlike animal cells, plants cells possess mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria serves as site for respiration giving off oxygen as by-product while chloroplasts are site of photosynthesis, where sugar molecules are formed from simple inorganic molecules like atmospheric carbon dioxide, water and sunlight trapped by chlorophyll.

What are two advantages of using the SI system?
tatiyna
 1. No conversions. The greatest advantage of SI is that it has only one<span> unit for each quantity ( a type of measurement). This means that it is never necessary to convert from one unit to another (within the system) and there are no conversion factors for students to memorize.

2. </span><span>No fractions. SI uses decimals exclusively, eliminating clumsy fractions and mixed numbers.</span>

Increased global temperatures have decreased disease incidence of the cattle, leading to their increased growth.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What is an example of growth?</h3>

A gradual increase in time, size, mass, or height is referred to as growth. An example of maturity is a rowdy teen who grew noticeably quieter in her late 20s. A boy that grows an inch taller between both the ages of 14 and 15 is an illustration of growth.

<h3>What causes growth?</h3>

Hormones created by the pituitary gland in the brain regulate a person's body's growth from the moment they are born. Growth hormone, sometimes referred to as human growth hormone, HGH, or GH, is the most crucial hormone for growth.

Average cattle size over the past 100 years has increased steadily. Cows, on average, are more than 100 pounds heavier than they were a century ago. What is the most likely explanation of the increases observed in the cows?

A- Increased global temperatures have decreased disease incidence of the cattle, leading to their increased growth.

B- Increased water availability as water levels rise increased the growth and mass of the cattle.

C- Decreased competition with other mammal species in the wild has increased the aver-age growth rate of cattle.

D- Humans have bred the cattle to have improved genetics that increase growth rates and mass.
