Answer:
the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants follows particular patterns,
Explanation:
<h2>False </h2>
Explanation:
Alimentary canal components include mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas liver is a component of the accessory digestive system
- The liver is a large organ that is located in the upper right portion of abdomen, beneath the diaphragm
- The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes and the gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines
- The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food
- The liver's main role is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body
- The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
- The liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines and also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions
Answer:
The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.
- Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.
- Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.
- The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,
SD = Xs - X₀
- Heritability in the narrow-sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.
h² = R/SD
- The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained or lost from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.
R = h²SD
R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),
R = X₀ - X₁
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.
<u>Available data: </u>
- trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
- the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
- Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
- the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²
According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.
- We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁
X₁ = R + X₀
We already know that X₀ = 100 days,
Now we need to calculate R.
We know that h² = 0.2,
Now we need to calculate SD
Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time
X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time
SD = Xs - X₀
SD = 90 - 100
SD = - 10 days
Knowing this, we can calculate R
o h² = 0.2
o SD = - 10
R = 0.2 x (-10)
R = - 2
- Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value
X₁ = R + X₀
X₁ = - 2 + 100
X₁ = 98
Answer:
In the course of evolution mammals are the animals which are evolved recently as compared to other groups such as fish, amphibians, or reptiles.
In addition, fur or hairs on body, mammary glands, middle ear bone, warm-blood, et cetera are the characteristics of mammals.
These characteristics were evolved during the course of evolution; they were not present in ancestral organisms.
However, tail, gill pouches, et cetera are characteristics of our ancestral groups. Thus, characters can be sometimes observed in mammals.
But mammals characteristics can not be observed in organisms which were evolved before mammals such as fishes, amphibians, reptiles, et cetera.
