This type of mutation is called somatic mutation. It usually happens in different cells of the body, but not in the eggs and sperms. These mutation may cause cancer and other illnesses, but it cannot be passed on to future offspring.

A phenotypic ratio for a dihybrid cross is predicted to be 9:3:3:1. The experimental values are:

Maslowich

Two traits that we are examining are the color (purple/white) and the smoothness.
In our sample, we have 135 individuals ( 75 +28+24+8= 135).

Since we know that expected ratio of a dihybrid cross, is 9:3:3:1 we can calculate what is the expected values of each phenotype is.

So, for the white wrinkled phenotype, we expect that there will be one-sixteenth of the whole sample ( there are 16 parts of the whole sample 9+3+3+1=16).
So, we multiply the whole sample- 135 with one-sixteenth (or 0.0625) and get 8,4375.
When you calculate the values for all phenotypes you get results shown in the attached excel table.
When you have your expected and experimental values you compare them with a chi-square test. (The test determines if the difference between the expected and experimental results is statistically significant).

Which aspect of this source should make the reader question its credibility?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The correct option is A) It is not written by an authority

Explanation:

In the English language, credibility can be described as the quality of an object to be reliable or trusted.

A piece of written work which does not mention the name of the writer may be considered to be not reliable and trustworthy. Hence, the correct option is A.

Other options, like option D, is not correct because a peer- reviewed journal carries authentic information as the work has been rechecked by different people who have expertise on the subject.
