Which is the best way to describe the biodiversity of an area? A grassland has organisms that live on hundreds of acres of land. A desert has 10 species of animals that can survive dry conditions. A rainforest has fertile soil that supports many kinds of plants. A pond has 12 species of organisms, including 300 animals and 40 plants.

Marianne is comparing two animals: a fruit fly and a fruit bat. she asks, "do a fruit fly and a fruit bat share a common ancestor in their evolutionary history? " according to evolutionary theory, what is the answer to marianne's question?

Approximately 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. the disease is typically related to mutations to genes (pkd1 and pkd2). pkd genes can be found on chromosome 16. the disease occurs in approximately 1: 800 to 1: 1000 people. here is a hypothetical example. the dominant allele d will cause the development of pkd. the recessive allele is known as d. what genotypes would correspond to suffering from pkd? dd, dd what genotypes would correspond to being normal (not suffering from pkd)? dd consider that 1: 1,000 people have pkd in your population of 325million. consider that pkd is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. show you math for all of the following questions: what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is p? what is q? how many people in your population would have pkd?
