Sixty flowering plants are planted in a flowerbed. forty of the plants are red-flowering homozygous dominant. twenty of the plan

ts are white-flowering homozygous recessive. the plants naturally pollinate and reseed themselves for several years. in a subsequent year, 178 red-flowered plants, 190 pink-flowered plants, and 52 white-flowered plants are found in the flowerbed. use a chi-square analysis to determine if the population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Answer:

The flowering population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

Step by Step Explanation:

Total initial population size = 60

As both the populations are homozygous so the frequency of alleles will be,

P = 80/120= 0.66

q = 40/120= 0.33

The predicted frequencies for genotypes once the population has reached Hardy-Weinberg

p2 = 0.4356

2pq= 0.4356

q2 = 0.1089

The number of plants with each type of flower in a papulation of 420 is,

Homozygous dominant= 185

heterozygous= 185

Homozygous recessive= 50

Chi square analysis:

The observed values for red-flowered plants, pink-flowered plants, and white-flowered plants are not significantly different from the expected values predicted by Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

Phenotype      observed(o)    expected (e)          (o-e)2/e

Red                        178                 185                       0.26

Pink                       190                 185                       0.135

White                     52                   50                     0.08

                                       chi-square = 0.474

With 2 degree of freedom this chi-square gives a p value of 0.7 - 0.8, which is not significant.

What explanation does this image tell about reproduction and variation?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

First, the image tells that chromosomes are made up of genes or that genes are located on chromosomes. It further showed that genes are translated as proteins in the cell and this protein respectively control the expression of traits.

Secondly, it also showed that during sexual reproduction, the offspring produced usually have the same proteins as the parent and therefore have exactly the same traits as the parent. Only one parent is needed for asexual reproduction.

<u>However, two parents are needed for sexual reproduction where each parent donate chromosomes containing gene to the genome of their offpsring. The mixture of genes ensures that the offspring look different from the parent.</u>

<em>The image further showed that asexual reproduction does not lead to any variation while sexual reproduction leads to variation of the offpsring from their parents.</em>

Answer:

I am too lazy to do this, but I am assuming you were supposed to do this in class. I will give you ideas.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day
