22. A plant geneticist is investigating the inheritance of genes for bitter taste (Su) and explosive rind (e) in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). The explosive rind is recessive and causes watermelons to burst when cut. Non-bitter watermelons are a result of the recessive genotype (susu). The geneticist wishes to determine if the genes assort independently. She performs a testcross between a bitter/nonexplosive hybrid and a plant homozygous recessive for both traits. The following offspring are produced:

Bitter/nonexplosive 88
Bitter/explosive 62
Non-bitter/non-explosive 62
Non-bitter/explosive 81

Calculate the chi-square value and also the chi-square of independence for the null hypothesis that the two genes assort independently. Calculate using a chi-square test and the chi-square test of independence. Give your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ([tex]X^2[/tex]):

[tex]X^2[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}[/tex] where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The [tex]X^2[/tex] is calculated thus:

Phenotype            O               E                             [tex]X^2[/tex]

  1                          88            164.81            [tex]\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}[/tex] = 35.80

  2                          62             54.94            [tex]\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}[/tex] = 0.91

  3                           62             54.94              [tex]\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}[/tex] = 0.91

  4                            81              18.31               [tex]\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}[/tex] = 214.64

Total [tex]X^2[/tex] = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

[tex]X^2[/tex] tabulated  = 7.815

The calculated [tex]X^2[/tex] exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently.

This Pedigree represents a family with an Autosomal Recessive Disorder. What is the probability that IV4 and IV5 have a child with the trait?

Answers

As this family has an Autosomal Recessive Disorder, we must know that this disorder will only be expressed, in the family members who are homozygous recessive (aa), in this way, to know the probability of IV-4 and IV-5 to present the disorder, we must evaluate the probabilities of combinations of their parents' alleles in a diagram called a punnett square.

In the pedigree above, we can see that the dark colored balls and squares represent the members of the family who have the disorder and therefore have the "aa" genotype.

Thus, when observing the crossings throughout the family, we know that the father of IV-4, has the genotype "Aa", however we do not know which genotype of the mother of IV-4, but as she does not have the disorder, she may have the genotype "Aa", or "AA", for that reason, we must make the punnett square for both situations and see what the probabilities of IV-4 will present the disorder.

As you can see in the figure attached below, if IV-4's mother has the "Aa" genotype, IV-4 will have a 25% chance of presenting the disorder. If IV-4's mother has the "AA" genotype, IV-4 has a 0% chance of inheriting the disorder.

In the case of IV-5, we can see that his mother has the disorder and therefore has the genotype "aa", we know that his father does not have the disorder, but we do not know if the father's genotype is "AA" or "Aa "and therefore we must evaluate both situations.

As you can see in the figure below called "IV-5", if IV-5's father has the "AA" genotype, IV-5 will have a 0% chance of inheriting the disorder. However, if IV-5's father has the "aa" genotype, IV-5 will have a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder.

Answers

A genotype is a feature in the genes. I know this since a pheno is a physical trait while geno meaning gene is a trait in the genes that can't be seen.

The genotype refers to an organism's entire genetic makeup, including all of its inherited genes.

What is a genotype?

It represents the underlying genetic information that determines the traits and characteristics an organism will have, such as eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases.

The genotype is influenced by the combination of genes passed down from parents and can also be affected by mutations or changes in the DNA sequence. The genotype serves as the blueprint for an organism's development and can impact its phenotype, or observable traits and characteristics.

Answers

Answer:

Vascular plants:

Can be large when fully grown.

May have seeds.

Can live farther from water.

Nonvascular plants:

Are small when fully grown.

Are always seedless.

Normally live in moist environments.

Explanation:

Plants can be classified regarding their flowering and their vasculature. When taking vasculature into consideration, they can be classified as Vascular Plants or Nonvascular plants.

Vascular plants have separate tubular tissues that are used to transport food and water, while nonvascular plants do not have these tissues. For this reason, nonvascular plants have a much harder time controlling the water inside them, and that's why they need to live in humid environments in order to survive. Vascular plants, on the other hand, can live in places farther from water.

Since they do not have vasculature, nonvascular plants are short in length, which makes it easier to survive considering the lack of tubular structures made for transport that vascular plants have.

Nonvascular plants do not have a vasculature, which means they do not have roots, stems, leaves nor seeds.

4. sensation

5. sensation

6. perception

7. perception

8. perception

9. sensation

10. perception

Explanation:

Sensation and perception are two processes which look very similar to each other but are a different process.

Sensation involves the sensory organs of the body which can sense the physical world around us whereas perception involves the process which involves the brain as it organizes and interprets the sensory input.

1. perception- Taste is considered the perception because the taste is interpreted in the brain.

2. perception- the sensory receptors send the signals about roughness to the brain where the brain tells that the substance has roughness.

3. sensation- playing a song in the grocery store is an example of sensation as the person has just listened to the music and is not interpreting whether it is good or bad.

4. sensation- smell involves the sensory receptors but the taste of the smell is perception therefore is the smell is considered a sensation.

5. sensation- the smell is sensation therefore sensation is correct.

6. perception- perception involves the memory, experience and emotions therefore recognizing Bob is considered perception.

7. perception- reminding of soup involves memory, therefore, is considered perception.

8. perception-loud sound involves the brain, therefore, is a perception

9. sensation-feel of cloth is by sensory receptors but the type of feel will be perception.

10. perception-colour and shape are recognised by the brain and depends on memory, therefore, are perception.

A student plays football outside on a hot day and lost a significant amount of water in sweat. How will this affect his blood volume?
A.Blood volume decreases
B. Blood volume stays the same
C. Blood volume increases

Answers

Answer:

A.Blood volume decreases

Explanation:

Blood volume refers to the fluid substances including blood circulating in the body via blood vessels. The blood volume must be optimal in order to ensure that every organ in the body gets an ample amount of blood. One of the things that can result in alteration of the normal blood volume is DEHYDRATION, which is the loss of water from the body.

Dehydration decreases the blood volume because the water content in the blood becomes decreased as water is lost, which would have detrimental effects on the body because the blood pressure (force at which blood flows) will be reduced.

This is the case of the student in this question that loses a significant amount of water as sweat when he undergoes exercise in a hot weather condition. The loss of water will result in the decrement of his blood volume.
