Imagine you are surveying a population of a mountain range where the inhabitants live in the valleys with no inhabitants on the

large mountains between. If your sample area is the valleys, and you use this to estimate the population across the entire mountain range, will you overestimate or underestimate the actual population size?

Imagine you are surveying a population of a mountain range where the inhabitants live in the valleys with no inhabitants on the large mountains between. If your sample area is the valleys, and you use this to estimate the population across the entire mountain range, <u>you overestimate the actual population size</u>

<u />

Explanation:

  • An estimate that turns out to be incorrect will be an overestimate if the estimate exceeded the actual result, and an underestimate if the estimate fell short of the actual result.
  • The mean of the sampling distribution of a statistic is sometimes referred to as the expected value of the statistic. Therefore the sample mean is an unbiased estimate of μ.
  • Any given sample mean may underestimate or overestimate μ, but there is no systematic tendency for sample means to either under or overestimate μ.
  • Bias is the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter. Bias can seep into your results for a slew of reasons including sampling or measurement errors, or unrepresentative samples

In Drosophila, genes a and b control body size and color, respectively. Large body (a+) is dominant over miniature (a), and gray
frutty [35]

Answer:

1

Female gametes:

ab= 0%

ab+=0%

a+b=0%

a+b+=0%

for the miniature phenotype to occur, it is necessary to contain two recessive characters and the female must have both for it to occur, if it is homozygous for b + it will have 2 alleles b +, understanding that the female is aab + b it will only occur gametes ab +

.

2. Phenotype

Miniature body + gray=25%

Large body +gray = 50%

Large body +ebony = 25%

Miniature body +ebony =0%

As the crossing cannot occur in males, the gametes it can produce are: ab + and a + b. Although the crossing can occur in women. The gametes produced are: ab +, a + b, ab and a + b +.

the crossing occurs only in the females generating the gametes ab +, a + b, ab and a + b +

The genotypes corresponding to:

Punnet graphic

large gray body: a + ab + b, a + ab + b +, a + a + b + b

big body and ebony: a + a + bb, a + abb

miniature and gray body: aab + b +, aab + b

1. Which image represents the flow of a longshore current in relation to a sandy beach?​
Dimas [21]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

When waves of water approach the beach, they do so as an angle because they have been slowed down by the first parts of the beach that they have encountered.

When they hit the beach at an angle, they come back to the water and keep doing so like the movement shown in option D. This constant motion moves the sand and other particles on the beach progressively and the current that does so is the Longshore current which <em>moves parallel</em> to the coastline.
