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

gavmur [86]

When a population is small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population grows bigger, the population reaches carrying capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.

Why is crossing over an essential step in meiosis
marshall27 [118]

Crossing over is essential for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

C. Diploid condition

Explanation:

A Karyotype is the pictorial display that shows chromosome arrangement and number in a cell. The Karyotype shows any abnormalities in the nuclear material (chromosomes). In a carrot plant that was cloned from carrot root, the clones should possess the same features as the original plant.

A Karyotype of both plants i.e. clone and the original plant should show that their cells have a diploid number of chromosomes i.e. Two sets of chromosomes. Since a carrot plant is a diploid organism.
