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

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

a) stomata

Explanation:

The stomata are little pores / doorways / openings that have the express purpose of allowing gases in and out. Without this, plants would not be able to fix carbon, which is essential in respiration.

Why not c or b: The xylem and phloem channel water through the plant, not gases.

Why not d: The cuticle is the waxy outer layer of the leaf meant to protect it, not allow gases through.
