antibiotic resistance has increased over time due to increased use of antibiotics. what conclusions can you make about how natural selection has resulted in antibiotic resistance from the data ? Explain your reasoning also explain why not taking all of the antibiotics prescribed to you could result in an increase in resistance

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%.

phosphorus cycle

explanation:

the phosphorus cycle is the way that compounds of the element phosphorus, an essential nutrient, are recycled in the environment. plants absorb phosphorus compounds from the soil, and decaying organic matter, including both plant matter and animal droppings, returns it to the soil. phosphorus is a vital part of atp, the energy currency of all cells, and is vital to all forms of life.
