Answer:
the frequency of the resistant allele after one generation is 0.989
Explanation:
Given that :
A farmer plants Bt cotton that is genetically modified to produce its own insecticide.
Of the cotton bollworms feeding on these Bt plants, only 5% survive
i.e the survival rate s = 5% =0.05
unless they have at least one copy of the dominant resistance allele R that confers resistance to the Bt insecticide
Frequency of R allele = 0.01
In order to determine what will the frequency of the resistance allele be after one generation of cotton bollworms fed on Bt cotton; we need to first determine the frequency of the recessive allele r.
According to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium ;
p+q = 1
Let p = R and q = r
R + r = 1
0.01 + r = 1
r = 1 - 0.01
r = 0.99
Now; the frequency of the resistance allele after one generation can be calculated as :
where ;
q' = R
q = r
q' = 0.989
Thus; the frequency of the resistant allele after one generation is 0.989
<span>1. List the adaptation that ALL vertebrates have in common.
The vertebrate is a subphylum of kingdom Animalia. The member of subphylum should have a spine or vertebrae. Therefore, all vertebrates should have vertebrae. All the member should have all the classification above the subphylum like cranium from craniate and notochord from chordate.
2. List all the adaptations that your chordate has (as shown on the cladogram).
The frog is part of Amphibian that shown on green lines. It should have all the organ above its classification such as jaws and paired appendages, lungs(frog can live in the land), four limbs. It also has all the trait of vertebrates that was described above.
3. To which type of chordate is your chordate most closely related?
If your chosen chordates are the frog, then salamander and caecilian would be the most closely related chordates. The reason is that salamanders and caecilians are also amphibians like the frog, which means they have all the trait from amphibians.
4. Why do you think endothermy appears at two points on the cladogram?
Endothermy member is the chordates that have warm blood. There are two chordates that have warm blood in the cladogram, the apes(mammals) and the bird. Since the bird is classified as reptile the but the ape classified as mammals, the cladogram needs to put two </span>endothermy.<span>
5. Amniotic eggs have a waterproof membrane. What type of animals evolved from animals that lay amniotic eggs?
</span>The amniotic eggs will be found on the reptile. The eggs have a waterproof membrane to prevent water comes out of the egg. Water is an important resource and if a high amount of water leak from the egg, the egg will be dried out and die. <span>
6. In what type of habitat do you think the evolution of amniotic eggs helped animals survive? Hint: In what habitat do all animals without amniotic eggs live?
The amniotic eggs help an animal that lives on the dry land to make offspring. All of the animals before reptiles are living in the water and spawn their eggs there so there is no concern about losing water, thus waterproof membrane is not needed. Reptile spawns their eggs on land, so it needs a method to contain the water.</span>
<span>Structurally, plant and animal cells are very similar because they are both eukaryotic cells. They both contain membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. Both also contain similar membranes, cytosol, and cytoskeletal elements.</span>
Answer:
c) chemotaxis – chemical degradation inside a phagolysosome
Explanation:
Chemotaxis is made of; chemo and taxis. It describes the movement of an organisms in response to a chemical stimuli in their environment. These movement can be positive or negative.
A positive chemotaxis occurs when the movement is toward the direction of the chemical stimuli.
A negative chemotaxis is when the movement is towards the opposite direction of the stimuli.
To learn and study the organisms that live in the surrounding areas. The native species could die or be destroyed by the non native species.
