You are a fisheries biologist for the state of North Carolina. You are charged with protecting the fish population, while also

keeping professional fishermen from losing their jobs. Based on the chart above, what would you conclude and what would your solution be?
A) There is a serious problem with overfishing of red grouper, so there must be a problem with other fish as well. All fishing for any species should be banned.
Catch YearAverage Mass (kg) Mature MalesEstimated Population (millions)199022.317.5199121.618.2199221.414.4199320.913.5199420.213.2199520.314.2199619.710.9199719.810.8199818.89.5199917.99.4B)There is not a very serious problem. The smaller size and population are probably just due to some bad years. Do nothing and monitor the situation.

C)There is a problem with overfishing. Ban fishing for large fish so their size and population can recover, but allow the fishermen to take smaller fish.

D)There is a problem with overfishing of red grouper, but the fishermen need to stay in business. Bring in another species of grouper from Australia, so that there are more fish to catch.

I think the answer would be C) There is a problem with overfishing. Ban fishing for large fish so their size and population can recover, but allow the fisherman to take smaller fish.

banning fishing all together or ignoring the problem would definitely not work and bringing in a new species could disrupt the ecosystem and cause more of an issue.

c.}  This chart shows the annual catch statistics for the red grouper for the state of North Carolina during the 1990’s. Red grouper begin their lives as females, and the largest fish change sexes to become male during mating season. Only large females mate with these males and lay eggs.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

It is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on research.

Explanation:

Mendel five part hypothesis was also known as the law of segregation. This law explain the how traits are inherited in living organisms. Mendel's theory discovered that there are two alleles for a single gene and that one of these alleles is inherited from each parent, which forms the basis of the trait in the progeny(offspring).

Mendel’s hypothesis was considered true after various experiments and analysis and also answer the question of how the different traits are passed on from parent to progeny. This validates it being an answer to a scientific question and it being based mostly on research.

In a certain breed of plants, dark green is determined by the dominant gene 'G' and light green is determined by the recessive g
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The answer is 300.

Explanation:

When we cross GG and gg, 100% of the offspring will be heterozygous. If the heterozygotes show 75% penetrance meaning that there is a 75% probability that the plant that has the G gene will actually show it in it's phenotype.

So that means that 75% of the offspring should have dark green color, which means that 300 plants will have the expected phenotype and 100 will not.

I hope this answer helps.
