<u>Answer:</u>
<em>It is advantageous to have lesser number of bones in the pectoral girdle.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Pectoral girdle is made up by the bones that connect the upper limbs to the appendicular skeleton which includes all the limb bones. Pectoral girdle in humans is made up of two bones. They are clavicle (collar bone) and scapula. The pectoral girdle allows the free movement of upper limbs.
The bones of pectoral girdle are not as massive as the bones of pelvic girdle since it doesn’t have the function of support. Lesser number of bones in pectoral girdle makes movement of upper limbs more free.
The frequency <em>p</em> of the yellow (A) allele is <em>p</em>= 0.3
The frequency <em>q</em> of the blue (a) allele is <em>q= </em><em>0.7</em>
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, states that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation. Equilibrium is reached in the absence of selection, mutation, genetic drift and other forces and allele frequencies p and q are constant between generations. In the simplest case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.
p²+2*p*q+q²= 1 p+q= 1 q= 1-p
yellow (p²)= 9%= 0.09 p= √0.09= 0.3
green (2*p*q)= 42%= 0.42
blue (q²)=49%= 0.49 q=1-0.3= 0.7 <em>or</em> q= √0.49= 0.7
Answer:
D. contact metamorphism
Explanation:
When there's a volcanic activity in certain area, very often it happens that there's magma that intrudes into the cold rock in the surrounding area. The intrusion of the hot magma into the cold rock layers causes big changes into the structure of the rocks. The high temperature and high pressure manage to influence the structure of the preexisting rocks, mostly on the places where the magma touches the cold rocks, leading to the formation of metamorphic rocks. This type of metamorphism is known as contact metamorphism.
When new information leads to new and different conclusions, it is important to be able to adapt to the most up-to-date conclusions. If conclusions are rigid and fixed regardless of any new information that may come to light, then they are not truly based on the facts under discussion.
