This law is called Mendel's second law, or the Law of Independent Assortment.

The law is derived from observations of dihybrid crosses. A classic example involves seed shape and color in garden peas. The shape may be round (caused by a dominant allele, denoted by R) or wrinkled (recessive, r). The wrinkling is caused by a mutation preventing the formation of branches in starch molecules. The color of the seeds may be yellow (dominant, Y) or green (recessive, y). The green color results from a variant sequence in a gene; the seeds fail to develop normally.

Parentals are RRYY and rryy.

The F1 plants are RrYy.

The F2 plants show independent segregation of the alleles for the two characteristics, shape and color. A Punnett grid predicts a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes round yellow, round green, wrinkled yellow, and wrinkled green.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Outcome variable (dependent variable)

Explanation:

In a scientific investigation, a DEPENDENT VARIABLE (also known as outcome variable) is the variable that is being measured. The dependent variable, as the name implies, responds to the changes made to the independent variable.

For example, in an experiment where the effects of different concentration of fertilizer is used to test plant growth (height), the HEIGHT OF THE PLANTS is the dependent variable because it is the variable being measured.

Answer:

In the exercise-depression study by Blumenthal et al. (the SMILE study), which of the treatments had the best success when considering the percentage of individuals who had either recovered or at least partially recovered at a 6-month follow-up period? B. Exercise group.

Explanation:

Exercise has different depression-reducing effects. It enables the body to producte endorphins that reduce sensations of pain. Moreover, it changes the neurotransmitter levels associated with depression (for example, norepinephrine) and it developes a sense of mastery and self-control through regular practice. <em>The SMILE study concludes that aerobic exercise on MDD remission extend the benefits</em> and it might be better than the benefits of antidepressant use.
