The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, as lipids may be broken down to yield large amounts of energy. Lipids also form the structural components of cell membranes, and form various messengers and signaling molecules within the body.
Answer:
a) 99.93%
b) 99.98%
Explanation:
Given that:
Total population size was only around 18 individuals ( for black-footed ferret)
If the annual survival rate in the wild was 0.4%.
a)
What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year?
To find that; we multiply the annual survival rate in the wild with the total population; which is:
(0.4%×18) = 0.072%
Then; we subtract it from a total of 100% in order to determine the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year.
= (100.00% - 0.072%)
= 99.93%
b)
What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present?
Given that;
Because of the presence of canine distemper disease, the annual mortality rate might have been as high as 0.89.
To determine the probability; we have:
1 - Annual mortality rate = annual survival rate
1 - 0.89 = 0.11 %
Therefore, 0.11% of 18 individuals = (0.0011 × 18)
= 0.0198%
Probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present = 100 - probability of annual survival rate
= (100 - 0.0198)%
= 99.98%
One gene comes from each parent for every trait. Each trait is passed from generation to generation. When gametes are formed, genes separate. If there are two unlike genes, one may be seen while the other is hidden. The inheritance of each trait is determined by units or factors that are passed on to descendants unchanged, and individual inherits one such unit from each parent for each trait, a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation and also the genes for each trait segragate themselves during gamete production.
We have a layout .. and our information that we conduct during our lab goes unerneath our "Materials and Methods" or the "Results"..
