A population of raccoons is thought to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a tail-length gene. The frequency of the dominant al

lele (long tails) is 0.8. When a certain forest was surveyed, the scientist was able to tag 25 animals, which were all long-tailed. Does the lack of short-tailed animals suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest? (Use the Population tab to consider this question.)

Answer:

No, the lack of short-tailed animals in the sample does not suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest. It probably means that individuals with short tails were not included in the sample by chance, as their expected frequency in the population is considerably low.

Zielflug [23.3K]

Rhinoviruses are transmitted through the air or via contact. We might expect this sort of transmission to require a fairly healthy host (one who gets out and comes into contact with others) and, hence, to select against virulent strains. If we take precautions and try to stay away from people or avoid any contact with people, more hand-washing stations, increased attention to sanitization, and isolation of patients will help to reduce the transmission of the disease and, in the process, may favor the evolution of less virulent strains of the virus.

Which statement gives an advantage of multicellular organisms?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Bacteria can reproduce quickly which is why it is sometimes hard to get rid of a cold.

Both types of cells carry out necessary functions to survive.

Size does not define a cell.

Multi-cellular organism have complex cell structure in which each cell has the ability to tend to it's necessary functions.

Hope this helps :)

USPshnik [31]
Question is as interesting as the animal jackalope.

We ASSUME that incomplete dominance of the number of horns gives rise to 0,1 or 2 horns, where hh=>0, Hh=>1 ("blend" of 0 and 2), and HH=>2 horns.

So if HH crosses with hh, the genotype of the offspring will be Hh, i.e. phenotype Hh=> 1 horn

wolverine [178]

Answer: Cant give a solid answer if theres no graph attached.

Explanation: My guess if it was a downward trend in population numbers with a downward trend in ice cap sizes or something, it would support global climate change because it shows the shrinkage of the population that is resulting from melting ice caps.
