Answer:

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

So here we have two heterozygous organisms that will mate. You can put them into a Punnet square, just to be sure of your answers and to find all possible genotypes : 

      R      r
R  RR   Rr
r   Rr     rr

So you have RR, Rr and rr as your possible genotypes.

In addition to transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, hemoglobin is also involved in transporting carbon dioxide fro
neonofarm [45]

The correct option is (C) Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

In addition to transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, hemoglobin is also involved in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs where, Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

<h3>How does hemoglobin contribute to the movement of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs?</h3>
  • The transport of carbon dioxide in the blood is influenced by a number of factors. First, blood contains more carbon dioxide soluble molecules than oxygen. The plasma contains 5–7% of the total dissolved carbon dioxide.
  • Second, carbon dioxide can enter red blood cells and bind to hemoglobin or it can bind to plasma proteins. In this form, 10% of the carbon dioxide gets transported.
  • A substance known as carbaminohemoglobin is created when carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin and carbon dioxide can bind to one other again.
  • As a result, when it gets to the lungs, the carbon dioxide can separate from the hemoglobin without restriction and leave the body.
  • Third, the bicarbonate buffer system is responsible for transporting 85% of the carbon dioxide molecules.

I understand that the question you are looking for is "In addition to transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, hemoglobin is also involved in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. How is this accomplished?

A. Carbon dioxide competes for the oxygen-binding site on the heme.

B. Carbon dioxide competes for the 2,3-BPG-binding site.

C. Carbon dioxide reacts with an amino group to stabilize the deoxyhemoglobin state.

D. Carbon dioxide binds to the carboxyl terminus of hemoglobin."

<span>11.2 Florida voters. Florida played a key role in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Voter registration records in August 2010 show that 41% of Florida voters are registered as Democrats and 36% as Republicans. (Most of the others did not choose a party.) To test a random digit dialing device that you plan to use to poll voters for the 2010 Senate elections, you use it to call 250 randomly chosen residential telephones in Florida. Of the registered voters contacted, 34% are registered Democrats. Is each of the boldface numbers a parameter or a statistic? Answer 41 % of registered voters are Democrats: parameter 36% of registered voters are Republicans: parameter 34% of voters contacted are Democrats: statistic 11.7 Generating a sampling distribution. Let’s illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a very small population. The population is the scores of 10 students on an exam: The parameter of interest is the mean score μ in this population. The sample is an SRS of size n = 4 drawn from the population. Because the students are labeled 0 to 9, a single random digit from Table B chooses one student for the sample. (a) Find the mean of the 10 scores in the population. This is the population mean μ. (b) Use the first digits in row 116 of Table B to draw an SRS of size 4 from this population. What are the four scores in your sample? What is their mean ? This statistic is an estimate of μ. (c) Repeat this process 9 more times, using the first digits in rows 117 to 125 of Table B. Make a histogram of the 10 values of . You are constructing the sampling distribution of . Is the center of your histogram close to μ? Answer (a) μ = 694/10 = 69.4. (b) The table below shows the results for line 116. Note that we need to choose 5 digits because the digit 4 appears twice. (c) The results for the other lines are in the table; the histogram is shown after the table.</span>
