A population of lizards carry a gene for scale color in which the dominant allele produces green scales while the recessive allele codes for brown scales. In the first generation, you determine that 75% of the population is green and 25% of the population is brown. In the second generation, you determine that 50% of the population is green and 50% of the population is brown. Finally, in the third generation, you determine that 25% of the population is green and 75% of the population is brown. Which of the following correctly explains this change in the genotype frequencies?(1 point) The lizards mate randomly with each other.

The brown color is an adaptation that is being selected by the environment.

The lizards remain isolated from other lizards, only mating with lizards in their own population.

The DNA of these lizards carries no mutations from one generation to the next.

the answer is c.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.

the earth is thought to have been formed about 4.6 billion years ago by collisions from a cloud of hydrogen, helium, rock, ice and other materials. these were pulled together by gravity to form objects in and around earth like- asteroids and small early planets called planetesimals.

so, the best possible answer to this question will be option d- to harden materials to form different parts of earth’s layers
