Homeostasis:
<em>The tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes</em>
Answer:
<em>The correct option is D) How is the number of frogs in Massachusetts affected by pollution</em>
Explanation:
A scientific question can be described as a question which can be answered through the scientific method of research. Based on the scientific question, a hypothesis can be formulated. For example, for the option D, the hypothesis can be 'if the pollution increases, then the number of frogs decreases.' A hypothesis is a tentative statement which can be tested through experiments. Based on these experiments, results are formulated and conclusions are drawn. The question mentioned in option D can be answered through this method hence, it is the correct option.

<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>
The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>
<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>
where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of
the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the
frequencies of the genotypes.
<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15
To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is
used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85
Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the
frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225
Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
