A population of raccoons is thought to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a tail-length gene. The frequency of the dominant allele (long tails) is 0.8. When a certain forest was surveyed, the scientist was able to tag 25 animals, which were all long-tailed. Does the lack of short-tailed animals suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest? A. Yes, because the survey shows 100% AA individuals, so the short tils must have been selected against.
B. No, because you would only expect 4 of the surveyed racoons to be short-tailed, so they may have been missed by chance.
C. Yes, because 20% of the surveyed raccoons should have been short-tailed.
D. No, because you would only expect 4% of the raccoons to be short-tailed, so they may have been missed by chance.

Explanation:

We experienced a technical problem when submitting the answer to this question. SO, to avoid that, we carefully typed the step-by-step explanation in a word document, made a screenshot of it, and attached it in the image below. The first image shows the technical glitch we experienced and the subsequent images show the explanation of the question.

Thanks.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
