An area surrounded by tall mountains contains a very large, isolated population of green and white peacocks. During the mating season, the male peacocks demonstrate flashy feather displays to attract females, who usually choose green peacocks over white ones. A biology student tabulates the following information.

Genotype

Plumage Color

% of Population

Allele

Controlled Phenotype

FF or Ff

Dark green

84%

F (dominant)

Dark green plumage

ff

White

16%

f (recessive)

White plumage

Using this information, the student plans to use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to predict the allele frequencies in future peacock generations. Why would her research advisor have a problem with this?
The student needs the percent of the population with the Ff genotype in order to find the F frequency.
Her research advisor would first want her to find the males' mating success rate for the calculations.
The peacocks are sexually selective when choosing mates, so future allele frequencies may drift.
Since the peacock population is isolated, its alleles would shift away from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

What is the relative placement of the moon, earth and sun during a lunar eclipse? the sun, earth and moon are aligned with the earth in the middle and the moon furthest away from the sun. the moon and sun are aligned with the earth at right a right angle to the moon. the sun, earth and moon are aligned with the moon in the center and the earth furthest away from the sun. the earth and sun are aligned with the moon is at a right angle to earth. 2. choose the best explanation of a partial solar eclipse. during a new moon phase there is usually a partial but not total eclipse. the earth only partially covers the sun during the eclipse. the moon only partially covers the sun during the eclipse.the moon only partially covers the sun during the eclipse. the moon's phase is full and blocks out most but not all of the sun. 3. what are conditions necessary for a total solar eclipse? moon in perigee orbit, earth a direct line between sun and moon, moon in full moon phase moon in perigee orbit; moon moves a direct line between sun and earth; moon in full moon phase moon in perigee orbit; moon moves a direct line between sun and earth; moon in new moon phase moon in apogee orbit, moon moves a direct line between sun and earth; moon in new moon phase 4. what causes a partial lunar eclipse? only the penumbra of the earth passes across the moon creating a circular shadow. the earth's umbra fits inside the moon creating an illuminated ring known as a annular eclipse. a partial eclipse causes the moon to turn reddish from the refraction of the sun's ray through the earth atmosphere. the earth's umbra only cover a part of the moon causing a circular shadow to pass across it.
