What would be the effect on climate in the temperate latitudes if Earth were to slow its rate of rotation from a 24-hour period of rotation to a 48-hour period of rotation?

#Section 2: Evolution
  1. Seasons would be longer and more distinct (colder winters and warmer summers).

  2. Large-scale weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes would no longer be a part of regional climates.

  3. Winter seasons in both the northern and southern hemispheres would have more abundant and frequent precipitation events.

  4. There often would be a larger range between daytime high and nighttime low temperatures.

In a typical Mendelian population, individuals carrying gene ‘a’ in homozygous condition suffer from phenylketonurea. Those with A in homozygous condition are normal. Others, who are heterozygotic with Aa, are carriers. If the frequency of ‘a’ in a population is 0.20, what is the percentage of normal individual in the population?
