Describe at least 2 abiotic and two biotic factors found in the desert biome how do these abiotic factors interact with the biotic factors

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43

Plant species a has a diploid number of 12. plant species b has a diploid number of 16. a new species, c, arises as an allopolyploid from a and b. the diploid number for species c would probably be a) 12. b) 14. c) 16. d) 28. e) 56.
