. The mean grain yield of an open pollinated rye breeding population is determined to be 72 bushels/acre. Your goal is to improv

e grain yield in this population. The mean grain yield of selected individuals from this population is 93 bushels/acre. Selected individuals are intermated to form a new population. The new population mean is determined to be 84 bushels/acre. With this information, calculate the selection intensity, response to selection and heritability of grain yield. (3) Report your answers for A and B as whole numbers and your answer for C to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

a) the selection intensity is 21bushels/acre

b) the response to selection is 12bushels/acre

c) The heritability is 0.57 (two decimal places)

Explanation:

Given:

mean grain yield population=72bushels/acre

mean grain yield selected individuals=93bushels/acre

mean grain yield new population=84busgels/acre

a) The selection intensity is given by:

SI=mean grain yield selected individuals-mean grain yield population=93-72=21bushels/acre

b) The response to selection is:

RS=mean grain yield new population-mean grain yield population=84-72=12bushles/acre

c) The heritability of grain yield is:

H=RS/SI=12/21=0.57

What are the two active sites or domains on a repressor protein?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

DNA binding domain and allosteric domain

Explanation:

Repressors are proteins that inhibit gene expression, They usually have DNA or RNA binding site which enables them to binde to the operator or associated silencers. Allosteric domain is the site for the binding of other molecules, such as  corepressors and inducers that regulate repressor's activity.

People with diseases that result in the malabsorption of which nutrient are at risk for a vitamin d deficiency?
grigory [225]

Inadequate dietary vitamin D or its deficiency leads to malabsorption of calcium. Nutritional disorder leads to the rare disease rickets, which causes bones to become soft and bend in children. In adults, vitamin D deficiency leads to osteomalacia, which causes weak bones, bone pain and muscle weakness.

The body needs vitamin D to properly absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet. However, keeping the right quantities of calcium and phosphorus in bones is challenging when vitamin D levels are low.

The two sources of vitamin D are-

  • Natural sunlight
  • Foods such as fish oil, Egg yolk and fatty fishes like salmon and mackerel

There are other disease conditions which lead to poor absorption of vitamin D-

  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Celiac diseases
  • Kidney problems

In winter many dogs grow a thick coat of fur. This is an example of
vesna_86 [32]
The answer is letter A. 

Dogs grow a thick coat fur during winter because they are adapting to change. Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life.

Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this is the thick coat of fur that dogs naturally grow to protect themselves from the change of the weather.
