Flower color in snapdragons results from the amount of the pigment anthocyanin in the petals. Red flowers are produced by plants

that have full anthocyanin production, and ivory-colored flowers are produced by plants that lack the ability to produce anthocyanin. The allele An1 has full activity in anthocyanin production, and the allele An2 is a null allele. Dr. Ara B. Dopsis, a famous genetic researcher, crosses pure-breeding red snapdragons to pure-breeding ivory snapdragons and produces F1 progeny plants that have pink flowers. He proposes that this outcome is the result of incomplete dominance, and he crosses the F1 to test his hypothesis. What phenotypes does Dr. Dopsis predict will be found in the F2 and why?

5 0

Answer:

1 offspring will be red in color

1 offspring will be ivory in color

2 offspring will be pink in color

Explanation:

Given -

Allele An1 shows full activity in anthocyanin production and thus are red in color

Allele An2 shows null activity in anthocyanin production and thus are ivory in color

Genotype of pure-breeding red snapdragons is An1An1

Genotype of pure-breeding ivory snapdragons is An2An2

F1 generation -

An1An1 x An2An2

An1An2, An1An2, An1An2, An1An2

F2 Generation -

An1An2 x An1An2

An1An1, An1An2, An1An2, An2An2

The output will be

1 offspring will be red in color

1 offspring will be ivory in color

2 offspring will be pink in color

The trait of extraversion often correlates around 50% for identical twins and around _______ for fraternal twins.
tresset_1 [31]
The word extraversion is popularized by Carl Jung and defined it as "an attitude type characterized by concentration of interest on the external object (focuses on the outside world). Contemporary psychologists classified the dimensions of personality into five, which is referred to as the "BIG 5" personality traits. The BIG 5 are broad categories personality traits and though there are significant body of literature supporting this five-factor model personality, researches do not always agree on the exact labels for each. It will be helpful to remember the word OCEAN as an acronym for these "BIG 5" personality traits: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Neuroticism. Extraversion is one of the "BIG 5" personality traits an is characterized by excitability, sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and high amount of emotional expressiveness. Extroverts are outgoing and gain energy in social situation. They tend to: enjoy being the center of attention because they get energized when they are around people, like to start conversations, enjoy meeting new people, have a wide social circle of friends and acquaintances because they find it easy to make friends and say things before they think about them. A published journal by Stephanie M. van den Berg, et al., entitled Harmonization of Neuroticism and Extraversion phenotypes across inventories and cohorts in the Genetic Personality Consortium: an application of Item Response Theory (IRT), studied on the heritability of extraversion in twins. The IRT-based scores for Neuroticism and extraversion were heritable, with 48 and 49% respectively, based on the meta-analysis of six twin cohorts with a significant part of the heritability due to non-additive genetic factors. For extraversion particularly, these genetic factors differ across sexes. So whether identical or fraternal, it correlates around 49-50% but will differ only across sexes, that is, whether male or female.

3) identify and describe three abiotic characteristics of ecosystems. Give an example of how each
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.

Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.

--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.

--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.

--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.
