Ipatiy [6.2K]
<span>If 25 percent of a breeder’s guinea pigs has long hair, the frequency of the recessive allele (q) is 50%. Let A be dominant allele and a be recessive allele. The frequencies are as following: p - the frequency of dominant allele, q - the frequency of recessive allele, p^2 - the frequency of genotype AA (short hair), 2pq - the frequency of genotype Aa (short hair), and q^2 - the frequency of genotype aa (long hair). So, we know that q^2 = 25% = 0.25. We need to find q. q = √q^2 = √0.25 = 0.50 = 50%.</span>

What is the relationship between Distance and average number of species?
valkas [14]

Answer: The relationship between species and distance is that more distance or space has more species and less space has less species.

Explanation:

It can easily be understood by taking the example of the island in such a way that the larger islands contains more species than smaller islands.

There are a  diversity of species seen in a bigger islands, more in number and more in variety.

It is very important for the studying the various species and its conservation, protection and other factors.

So, more is the distance , more will be the number of species.
