The stem of the plant should be cut at least three to four inches above the surface level.
The glass capillary should be tightly fixed with the stem.
The initial water level and the final water level should be carefully noted.
The droplets on the leaves should be observed and conclude that these drops are not from transpiration.
The answer is a pedigree chart.
<span>Pedigree charts are used to explain the occurrence of
particular genes from one generation to the next. It gives enough information
about family disease history. They are used in families to find out the
probability of inheriting some disease. So, if Maria and Juanita are cousins
and the genotypes of other members of their family are known, the pedigree chart
could predict their genotypes. Still, it is not as precisely as DNA test.</span>
QUESTION ONE
Here are the answers:
1. The purpose of zoo described in question 1 is EDUCATIONAL: it provides knowledge about animals' lives.
2. CONSERVATION: It protects the animals from becoming extinct.
3. RESEARCH: It is a source of animal specimens for research studies.
4.ENTERTAINMENT: people go to zoos to relax and to have fun.
QUESTION 2
The statement is TRUE.
Zoo has a lot to offer in term of educating the public and that includes the topic of biodiversity. Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms in the world and the relationships that exist among them. Those animals have the way they relate with other organisms. Thus, the topic of biodiversity can be treated using zoo.
Answer:
1)
- frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.74
- frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26
2)
- frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
- frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87
3)
- q² = 0.74
- p² = 0.02
- 2pq = 0.24
4)
- q² = 0.13
- p² = 0.4
- 2pq = 0.46
5)
The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage
6)
Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.
7)
Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
8)
To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
