Answer:
C. I and III
Explanation:
A mutation needs to occur in a gamete cell in order to be passed down to the next generation.
If it occurs in a somatic (body) cell, the mutation will only be present in that organism.
On the other hand, in a gamete cell, the mutation will pass down because gamete cells are directly involved in the genetic makeup of the offspring.
So, since sperm and egg cells are gametes, mutations in those cells would get passed on.
The correct answer is C. I and III
Answer:
A. VG = 80
B. Broad sense heritability = 0.80
C. Narrow sense heritability = 0.30
D. Average yield = 430 Units
Explanation:
A. Given that
VA = 30
VD = 50
VI = assumed not available
Therefore
Total genetic variance (VG) = VA + VD
= 30 + 50
= 80
VG = 80
B. Given that
VP = 100
VG = 80
Broad sense heritability, H2 = VG/VP
= 80/100
= 0.80
C. Given that
VA = 30
VP = 100
Narrow sense heritability, h2 = VA/VP
=30/100
= 0.30
D. The difference in selection = 500 - 400
= 100
Recall,
Selection response is heritability multiplied by selection differential.
That is
R = h2S
Selection differential = 100
Heritability h2 = 0.30
Selection response = 0.30 × 100
= 30units
Therefore, expected average yield = 400 + 30
= 430 Units
Answer:
Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population.
Answer;
-Frequency
Explanation
-Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second. A higher-frequency wave has more energy than a lower-frequency wave with the same amplitude.
-The speed of a wave is dependent on four factors: wavelength, frequency, medium, and temperature. Wave speed is calculated by multiplying the wavelength times the frequency. Since speed is constant within the same medium, a high frequency has a short wavelength and vice-a-versa
Answer:
Change in the vascular system.
Explanation:
High blood pressure occurs when the arteries in the human body system become rigid thereby making the blood pressure rise.
The cause for this situation particularly in older people is the changes in the vascular system or circulatory system.
This is said to be vasoconstriction which lowers the flow of blood in the circulatory system, thereby causing high blood pressure
Hence, since Mr. Ackah is a retired teacher, it is believed that he is an old man susceptible to changes in the vascular system or vasoconstriction.
