Sex-linked traits happen when a trait is linked to one of the sex chromosomes. Sex-linked traits can be X-linked or Y-linked. Poly-genetic traits happen when the traits are controlled by more than one gene.   <span />

Consider the following three populations of birds. Assume HW equilibrium. With these birds red coloring is recessive, while brow
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population I

Explanation:

Population I -

Total population - 670

Brown birds - 603

Red birds - 67

Population II

Total population - 100

Brown birds - 90

Red birds - 10

Population III

Total population - 30

Brown birds - 27

Red birds - 3

Frequency of red birds in population I

\frac{67}{670} = 0.1

Frequency of red birds in population II

\frac{10}{90} = 0.11

Frequency of red birds in population III

\frac{3}{30} = 0.1

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II and it will be equal to \sqrt{0.11} = 0.33 as compared to 0.31 in case of population I and III

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect because of smaller population size

The frequency of the brown allele will  least likely be altered in the population that has highest  brown individual , i.e population I

FinnZ [79.3K]

<span>Suffocation is a most leading reason of death in grain storage bins. Grain handling industry is a high hazard industry where workers can be exposed to numerous serious and life threatening hazards. These hazards include: fires and explosions from grain dust accumulation, suffocation from engulfment and entrapment in grain bins, falls from heights and crushing injuries and amputations from grain handling equipment.  </span>

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Divergence

Explanation:

One postsynaptic cell has the ability to receive the input from large number of different presynpatic cells and the divergent neurons can have connections with different postsynaptic cells.

The divergence in the neurons allows one neurons to have communication with the other neurons within a network.

The divergence neurons can communicate with any of the neurons (output) in the network.
