Additional information is missing. It is as follows: In fruit flies, the allele for red eyes is dominant over the allele for pink eyes. Straight wings are dominant over curled wings.
Answer:
Genotype = RrSS and RrSs in 1:1 ratio so each has 0.5 probability
Phenotype = All red eyed and straight winged
Explanation:
Given,
Red eyes (R) is dominant over pink eyes (r)
Straight wings (S) is dominant over curled wings (s)
Fly 1 : Homozygous red eyed, curly winged = RRss
Fly 2 : Pink eyed, heterozygous straight winged = rrSs
RRss will produce Rs gametes and rrSs will produce rS and rs gamates.
When fly 1 and fly 2 mate : RRss X rrSs :
rS rs
RS RrSS RrSs
The genotypic ratio is 1 : 1 ( RrSS : RrSs ) that means that each genotype has 0.5 probability. Both the genotypes though have at least one dominant allele for each gene so the entire progeny will have red eyes and straight wings.
Answer:
Approximately 6944 glucose residues are added enzymatically per second
Explanation:
Cellulose is the main structural polysaccharides in plants. It is composed of unbranched glucose monomer units linked to each other by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
The cell wall and stem of plants cells are composed of cellulose fibers. They provide rigidity and support to the plant.
In the given bamboo plant, the enzymatic addition of glucose units to the growing cellulose fiber chains results in the phenomenal growth rate of the bamboo stem.
Since each glucose unit contributes ~0.5 nm to the length of a cellulose molecule, number of glucose units required for daily growth is calculated as follows:
0.5 nm = 10⁻⁹
0.3 m/0.5 x 10⁻⁹ m = 600000000 units of glucose per day
Number of seconds in a day = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds
Number of glucose residues added per second = 600000000/86400
Number of glucose residues added per second = 6944.4 glucose molecules per second
Therefore, approximately 6944 glucose residues are added per second
Answer: pretty sure its haploid cells
Explanation:
Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
Answer:
The correct answer is - increase in frequency.
Explanation:
According to the theory of Darwin, organisms most likely survive and reproduce in an ecosystem that is able to change or adapt to the changes in the ecosystem.
According to the modern evolutionary theory that the genes that are responsible for new changes or traits that help a species to reproduce and survive in a particular environment increase in frequency and the genes do not helps decrease in frequency.
