You discover a new X-linked mutation for antenna shape in Drosophila (fruit flies) which produces long antennae.  You call this new allele long (XL2), and discover it is incompletely dominant with the short antennae allele (XL1), meaning that heterozygotes have antennae that are intermediate in length. In your laboratory population, 9% of the males have long antennae. Assuming your population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what proportion of females would you expect to have intermediate antennae?   Answer choices:  0.50 0.90 0.83 0.0081 0.16

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.
