Farmer John decides to increase the weight of the eggs produced by his chickens. The average weight of his eggs is 10 grams. He

knows that the heritability of egg weight is 0.5. He selects for chickens producing eggs that are 18 grams. The expected average weight of the resulting eggs is:

Answer:

13-15 grams...

Explanation:

If only 50% of weight genes are transferred as seen in 0.5 probability then the ideal weight will be 14 grams (9 grams from first and 5 grams from the 2nd and so... ). But due to the genetic anomalies the range should be taken as 13-15 grams with a confidence interval of 95%...

valkas [14]

Explanation:

This is an example of relating structure to function.

Cells sharing a similar origin, group together in the body to form tissues; these typically share physical features and are arranged in regular patterns cells within the human body can generally be placed into four groups:

  • epithelial which refers to sheets of cells covering exterior surfaces and internal organs;
  • connective tissue which functions to bind cells and organs together while protecting, supporting and integrating different regions.
  • muscle tissue which responds to simulation, allowing for movement and locomotion;
  • nervous tissue which responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body

Connective tissue are usually spread out in a formation called a matrix. The matrix contains lots of extracellular components which are made by cells within connective tissue; it mainly consists of a fluid ground substance which interwoven with fibers of protein. Connective tissues mainly contain cells, the ground substance and protein fibers; each of these are present in varying amounts related to the structure and function of the tissue

It is further classified in to loose and dense tissue types which exists in multiple variations; in the loose tissue, fibers are aggregated loosely without a regular arrangement and often contains large spaces. Additionally connected tissue also contains cell types like fibroblasts. The loose tissue types, like adipose act as shock-absorbers and allow water, nutrients and salts to diffuse throughout the tissue  to nearby tissue and cells.

Lipid droplets found in lipocytes, are organelles made up of a core of hydrophobic lipids. This is encased in a single layer of phospholipids which arrange themselves tightly and efficiently in a ball, with their hydrophilic heads facing outwards; while their hydrophobic tails face inwards. The phospholipid monolayer may also contain embedded proteins that at as special signals for recognition.

In lipocytes, one of these droplets may take up the intracellular space (white adipose) with the nucleus pushed to one side of the spherical cell- the cell takes the shape of the droplet, which allows storage maximization. They make up a type of loosely aggregated connective tissue, called adipose tissue,which function in cell signalling, as energy storage, and insulation.
