The answer is 49.92%

Let's use the <span>Hardy-Weinberg principle:
p + q = 1
p</span>² + 2pq + q² = 1
<span>
where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele G
q - </span>the frequency of recessive allele g
p² - the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals GG with colour green
2pq - the frequency of heterozygous individuals Gg with colour green
p² - the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals gg with color brown

23% of the population is brown: p² = 23% = 0.23
p = √(p²) = √0.23 = 0.48

p = 0.48
p + q = 1
0.48 + q = 1
q = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

<span>The percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous is 2pq:
2pq = 2 * p * q = 2 * 0.48 * 0.52 = 0.4992 = 49.92%</span>

In the product 6O2, what does the coefficient mean? There are 12 molecules of O2, There are 8 molecules of O2, There are 6 molec
mars1129 [50]
There are 6 molecules of O2.



"O2" is the formula for one molecule oxygen, which has 2 atoms.

The subscript (small) "2" tells you how many atoms are in the molecule.

The coefficient is the big number tells you the number of molecules.

In 6O2, there are 12 atoms in total (6 molecules of 2 atoms each).

Gas exchange
Andre45 [30]

Question: Below is a list of functions performed by organisms. Examine the list, then answer the question that follows.

gas exchange

intake of nutrients

disposal of wastes

stimulus response

reproduction

How do these functions compare between single-celled and multi-celled organisms?

A. Single-celled organisms can perform all of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions.

B. Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

C. Single-celled organisms can perform only some of these functions, while multi-celled organisms can perform all of these functions.

D. Neither single-celled organisms nor multi-celled organisms can perform all of these necessary functions.

Answer:

Option B, Single-celled organisms must perform all of these functions with one cell, while multi-celled organisms can have specialized cells for different functions.

Explanation:

All these functions are performed by both single celled and multi-cellular organism. A single cell has several microscopic organelles that performs specific functions while a multi - celled organism has different body organs/tissues to perform specialized function separately.

A cell exchange gas through the cellular membrane, intake nutrients through engulfing, dispose waste by lysosomes, stimulus response by sensory hairy structure and reproduction through cell division

Hence, option B is correct.

Which of these terms apply to human digestive systems: intracellular digestion, extracellular digestion, blind gut, complete gut
artcher [175]

The right answers are complete gut and one-way gut.


Food is ingested by the mouth, where it is chewed and then thrown into the esophagus during swallowing.

After, there is food in the stomach

Then there is digestive absorption of nutrients in the small intestine

After that, Waste disposal and reabsorption of water in the colon (large intestine)

And finally, stool passes through the rectum (anus), where it is stored before defecation, induced by a reflex mechanism.
