Answer: C) breaking down terminology
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)
2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)
3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)
4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)
Explanation:
Given that:
p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B) = 0.91
q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b) = 0.09
For a population in genetic equilibrium:
p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)
(p + q)^2 = 1
Therefore:
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
in which:
p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)
2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)
q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)
p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281
2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638
More rainfall leads to the growth of the grass in a tallgrass prairie to grow so tall.
Answer: Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The tallgrass prairie consists of big and little blue stem, switchgrass, and Indian grass. These were the species which thrive in the area which receive rainfall in large amount. The rainfall in these areas are in the amount of 30-40 inch annual precipitation.
Because these areas receive rainfall in such high amount, the grasses grow very tall. The height of these grasses reach to approximately 6-8 feet in height.
Answer:
The correct answers are B and C. Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri were the first to suggest that growth of cancerous cells was a result of abnormal chromosomes.
Explanation:
The chromosomal theory of inheritance is a scientific theory that relates chromosomes with the transmission of inheritable characters. It is also called the chromosomal theory of Sutton and Boveri in honor of the two people who independently developed it in 1902, Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton. This theory states that the alleles, the Mendelian genetic factors, are on chromosomes.
Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton independently developed the chromosome theory in 1902, Boveri, studying embryonic development in sea urchin and Sutton in this work on meiosis in grasshopper.
Sutton and Boveri's proposition in 1902 that chromosomes are the factors of Mendelian inheritance was controversial until its demonstration in 1915 by the work of Thomas Hunt Morgan in the Drosophila melanogaster fly.
Answer:
(d). B-cells.
Explanation:
Adaptive immunity can be described as immunity which develops in response to exposure to a pathogen (or foreign molecule). throughout the life. It is divided into two types, humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity.
Humoral immunity is mediated by B cells that secrete antibodies against particular antigens. These antibodies recognize and neutralize the antigens and activate cell-mediated immunity, which is mediated by T cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
