8. The patterns of dispersion illustrated in the figures above are similar in that they all reflect interactions between a. the population and its environment.
b. producers and consumers.
c. a population and its members.
d. Both (a) and (b)

clumped distribution, because you'de have all of the population gathered in a relatively small are.

it's the most common because it provides protection and a mate for reproduction

example: humans, seeweed, cattles, etc.

we solve the problem using the hardy-wineberg equation.

let us start with the homozygous recessive proportion of individuals with sickle cell anaemia,

we have the proportion as q² = 0.25.

∴ q = 0.5 (frequency of hbs in population)

further,

solving for the frequency of normal cell by using the fact that,

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - 0.5 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

now we can calculate 2pq in p² + 2pq + q², which is the frequency for heterozygous carriers of sickle cell anaemia,

∴ 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5

and the homozygous normal cell individuals proportion is given by the expression,

∴ p² = 0.5² = 0.25

hence, the carriers for sickle cell anaemia are in proportion, 0.5, or 50%.

answer: d. load

a river's load refers to the natural phenomena in which the sediments, rocks   stones, boulders and other deposits are removed and picked from the bottom bed of the river due to the abrasion resulted by the high speed water current.

prophase is the first step in mitosis and will show one huge circle (nucleus) and centrioles - nothing is being done to it. metaphase is the third step and where the chromatids meet in the middle and the centrioles are at opposite ends. anaphase is the fourth step and where the chromatids start to split/separate. telophase is the second to last step where the chromatids start to split along with the centrioles, it looks like there is getting ready to be two different cells. if you follow this, then it should you to answer what it looks like. have a great day and i hope i you! if i did not answer your question or you are confused, let me know and i will you as much as i can.
