Answer:
Chargaff's rules state that DNA from any species of any organism should have a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio (base pair rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine should be equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine should be equal to thymine
Answer:
0.78
Explanation:
Fitness measures the probability of survival and reproduction of a particular phenotype or genotype in a population.
Relative fitness measures how fit one genotype or phenotype is with respect to the most fit genotype or phenotype in a popualtion. It is calculated as = survival rate of that group / maximum survival rate observed in that population
Here,
Total number of yellow birds = 263
Yellows birds that survived = 150
Survival rate of yellow birds = 150/263 = 0.57
Total number of grey birds = 413
Grey birds that survived = 303
Survival rate of grey birds = 303/413 = 0.73
Grey birds have more survival rate than yellow birds so their survival rate is maximum in the population.
Fitness of yellow phenotype relative to grey phenotype = survival rate of yellow birds / survival rate of grey birds
= 0.57 / 0.73
= 0.78
Hence, fitness of the yellow phenotype relative to the grey one is 0.78.
Answer:
3/16
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for earlobe shape and earwax quality. The alleles for attached earlobes (A) and wet earwax (E) are dominant over the alleles for free earlobes (a) and dry earwax (e).
According to this question, two humans mate who are heterozygous for both genes i.e. AaEe × AeEe. Each parent will produce the following gametes: AE, Ae, aE, ae.
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:
* Attached earlobe, wet earwax (A_E_) = 9/16
* Attached earlobe, dry earwax (A_ee) = 3/16
* Free earlobe, wet earwax (aaE_) = 3/16
* Free earlobe, dry earwax (aaee) = 1/16
Hence, the probability of these parents having their first child with dry earwax (ee) and attached earlobes (A_) i.e. genotype A_ee is 3/16.
