A fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. The green allele is recessive, and is represented by q. The blue allele is domi

nant, and is represented by p. If 44 of 100 organisms are green, what is p?

Answer:

p = 0.34

Explanation:

The green allele is recessive, meaning two copies of q (qq) are required to be green. Conversely, animals that are either pp or pq will be blue.

If 44 organisms are green, that means 44 are qq.

For genotype frequencies, the equation is:

homozygous dominant genotype + heterozygous + homozygous recessive = 100%

Which is denoted as

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

We know that q² = 44/100 = 0.44

To work out q, we can do \sqrt{0.44} = 0.66

For allele frequencies, the total must add up to 100%, so

p + q =1

We know that q= 0.66

So p = 0.34, because 0.66 + 0.34 = 1

List two pieces of evidence from the film justifying the claim that “termite mounds are an advantage to the savanna ecosystem.”
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Termites can spend time building mounds there by aerating the soil and allowing moisture which support the growth of shrubs, grasses, tress.

Through their mounds, their droppings contain phosphorus and nitrogen which add to the soil nutrients and supports grasses, shrubs and trees growth.

Explanation:

Termites are commonly found in Savannah ecosystem in African areas and they build mounds. Termites mounds consist of their fecal droppings , saliva and clay.

Termites can spend time building mounds there by aerating the soil and allowing moisture which support the growth of shrubs, grasses, tress.

Through their mounds, their droppings contain phosphorus and nitrogen which add to the soil nutrients and supports grasses, shrubs and trees growth.

The primary determinant of basal metabolic rate (bmr) is __________. the primary determinant of basal metabolic rate (bmr) is __
babunello [35]
I believe the primary determinant of basal metabolic rate is the Lean Body Mass. Basal metabolic is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by animals at rest. It comprises the processes that the body requires to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person need to keep the body operational at a state of rest.

A researcher is designing a laboratory experiment to determine whether the inorganic substance A affects the rate of a reaction
nlexa [21]
The corrrect option is D.
Since the scientist was trying to determine if substance A affect the rate of reaction of X and Y, the best thing to do is to make substance X and Y to react together first, he should then measure the time taken for the reaction to take place. Next, he should make X and Y to react together again, but this time in the presence of A. The time taken for the reaction to occur should be measures. The scientist can now compared the two time measurements and decide if there are difference between them or not.
