In some genetically engineered corn plants, a Bt gene was added to a chromosome. The Bt gene specifies a protein called Bt that

is lethal to certain flying insect pests that eat the corn plants. If the corn plant is is heterozygous for the Bt gene (one homolog has the introduced Bt gene and the other does not), what proportion of the sperm would carry the Bt gene? Is the presence of the Bt gene (a mutation) dominant or recessive to its absence (the wild type)?

Answer:

The  proportion of the sperm would carry the Bt gene is 1/2

The presence of the Bt gene is dominant

Explanation:

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic crops include, ammong, others, cotton, corn, and potatoes. The Bt transgenic crops are aimed at killing insect pests that feed plants and thus reduce crop yields

A biologist studies a population of anteaters living in a large nature reserve. The reserve is surrounded by farms where anteate
____ [38]

Answer:

Adult anteaters compete for food and many young anteaters die

Explanation:

As there are not many predators and the number of ants is abundant, the population of anteaters should grow on a large scale, however, this is not what happens, since the size of the population is the same for twenty years. This shows that the anteater population itself is regulating the size of the population through internal disputes, where anteaters, due to the high birth rate, end up competing for food and shelter, causing the most young and inexperienced individuals to be killed.

So the answer is: Scientists prefer the usage of food webs over food chains due to the fact that food webs are more elaborate and more detailed than the food chain.</span>

Mendel used single gene (or monohybrid) experiments to describe his law of segregation. He used _______ characters (or dihybrid)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Law of Independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.

However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.
