How do external parasites affect an animal?

1 answer:

7 0

I know they carry diseases which can harm or kill the animal it is attached to. These diseases can taint the meat of the animal so it wouldn't be wise to eat it which stinks if the animal is bread for eating. They can also irritate the skin and cause rashes, or even eat the flesh of the animal away.

What is the probability that each of the following pairs of parents will produce the indicated offspring? (Assume independent as

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

(a) AABBCC × aabbcc->AaBbCc → 1

(b) AABbCc × AaBbCc->AAbbCC → 1/32

(d) aaBbCC × AABbcc->AaBbCc → 1/2

Explanation:

In such cases we calculate the probability of each allelic pair separately.

(a) AABBCC × aabbcc -> AaBbCc

Aa Aa Aa Aa Bb Bb Bb Bb Cc Cc Cc Cc

↓ ↓ ↓

4/4 = 1 4/4 = 1 4/4 = 1

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Aa so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Bb so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Cc so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1.

(b) AABbCc × AaBbCc -> AA bb CC

AA AA Aa Aa BB Bb Bb bb CC Cc Cc cc

↓ ↓ ↓

2/4 1/4 1/4

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be AA so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 1 will be bb so the probability is 1/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 1 will be CC so the probability is 1/4.

So, the total probability of getting AA bb CC = 2/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/32.

AA Aa Aa aa BB Bb Bb bb CC Cc Cc cc

↓ ↓ ↓

2/4 2/4 2/4

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Aa so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Bb so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Cc so the probability is 2/4.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 2/4 x 2/4 x 2/4 = 1/8.

(d) aaBbCC × AABbcc->AaBbCc

Aa Aa Aa Aa BB Bb Bb bb Cc Cc Cc Cc

↓ ↓ ↓

4/4 = 1 2/4 4/4 = 1

In case of gene A, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Aa so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

In case of gene B, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 2 will be Bb so the probability is 2/4.

In case of gene C, out of the 4 probable allelic combinations, 4 will be Cc so the probability is 4/4 = 1.

So, the total probability of getting AaBbCc = 1 x 2/4 x 1 = 1/2.

what does the increase in incidents of polar bears visiting human settlements indicate

snow_lady [41]

The correct answer is "limited prey is driving the bears to seek food in human settlements".
Due to the warming of the Arctic waters, the ice is melting, resulting in a serious decline of floating winter ice. Polar bears need these floating parts of ice to hunt, therefore this new situation limits the hunting opportunities of the bears. That is why polar bears are driven to human settlements to look for food.
