Biology

1 answer:

Doss [256]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

The collision between two lithosphere plates on the surface of earth results in the formation of convergent plate boundaries. The process of subduction occurs when one plate converges over the other plate.

The diagram given in the question shows the convergent plate boundary. The collision of two lithospheric plates have been represented in the picture.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

slava [35]

When a cat drops from a tree to the ground, the cat is transforming chemical energy attained from the food into kinetic energy. The later energy is used by the living species when they are performing locomotion.

When a cat feeds on a mouse, the mouse will undergo through the process of digestion resulting in the formation of chemical energy. Thus, the food consumed by the cat will get transformed into chemical energy that can be utilized by the cat to perform its usual activities.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

catalyze chemical reactions

Explanation:

An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).

Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.

Gene A has two alleles (A1 and A2). A1A1 homozygotes are twice as likely to survive from birth to reproductive age as heterozygo

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: 0.60 A1 and 0.40 A2 will be the allele frequencies in those progeny when they reach reproductive age

Explanation:

Genotype A1A1  A1A2 A2A2 

Relative aptitude, w 1 0.5 0.5

Number of individuals 40 40 40

Initial allelic frequency p0= (40+20)/120=0.5 q0= (40+20)/120=0.5

Zygote frequency p2= 0.25 2pq=0.25 q2=0.625

Relative contribution 0.25x1=0.25 0.5x0.5=0.25 0.25x0.5=0.125

of each genotype

Average aptitude W W= 0.025 + 0.25 + 0.125 = 0.625

Population AA= 0.25/0.625 AB=0.25/0.625 BB=0.125/0.625

Genotype frequency AA= 0.4 AB=0.4 BB=0.2

New Allelic frequency p1=0.4+(0.4/2)=0.6 q1=0.2+(0.4/2)=0.4

Total number of individuals: 120

Initial allelic frequency:

(number of homozygote individuals + half number of

heterozygote individuals) / Total number of individuals

Relative contribution of each genotype:

Zygote frequency x Relative aptitude

Average aptitude W: It is the sum of relative contribution of each genotype to the next generation.

wA1A1 x p2 + WA1A2 x 2 x p x q + WA2A2 x q2

Population Genotype frequency:

Relative contribution of each genotype / Average aptitude

Allelic frequency:

Homozygote population genotype frequency + half

heterozygote population genotype frequency
