Answer:

The correct answer would be C. 0.60

It can be calculated with the help of Hardy-Weinberg equation i.e

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

Also, p + q = 1

  • where p represents the frequency of dominant allele.
  • q represents the frequency of recessive allele.
  • p² represents the frequency of homozygous dominant genotype .
  • q² represents the frequency of homozygous recessive genotype .
  • 2pq represents the frequency of heterozygous genotype.

Number of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36

Number of homozygous recessive (yy) = 16

Number of heterozygous dominant (Yy) = 48

Total number of plants = 100

Now, frequency of homozygous dominant (YY) = 36/100 = 0.36

Therefore, p² = 0.36

So, p = √0.36 = 0.60

Hence, frequency of dominant allele (Y) = 0.60

What is the difference between bracketed key and indented key?​
____ [38]

Answer:

<em>Bracketed and indented keys are two dichotomous/or branching keys with an ordered, numbered couplet, and spatially differentiated respectively.</em>

Explanation:

Dichotomous keys are used in the identification and classification of taxa.

Bracketed keys, or parallel keys, are easy to understand- for efficiency, these keep the first two entries of every couplet or pair being compared. It also makes use of a numbering system in the couplet choices for easy tracking.

Indented keys maintain an equal distance from the margin on the left of the pages. Successive couplets are indented til the taxon is identified.

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best
melamori03 [73]
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best described as energy moving in one direction from the sun to the producers then to the consumers. 

Explanation; 
Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through successive trophic levels of a food chain in an ecosystem. Ecosystem maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients.
The energy from sunlight is taken up by producers which use it to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. The energy is then passed successively to the trophic levels, that is from the producers to the consumers ( primary, secondary, tertiary and quotienary consumers). During this transfer some energy is lost at each trophic level in form of heat.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere varies over the course of a year. Much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in the carbon cycle. Respiration happens all the time, but dominates during the colder months of the year, resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.
