n cattle, an autosomal mutation called Dexter produces calves with short stature and short limbs. Embryos that are homozygous fo

r the Dexter mutation have severely stunted development and either spontaneously abort or are stillborn. In addition roan cattle are the heterozygous hybrids of a cross between a white individual and a red individual. What progeny phenotypes do you expect from the cross of a roan Dexter cow to a roan Dexter bull

Answer:

1 DDRR - Red, non-dexter

2 DDRr - Roan, non-dexter

2 DdRR - Red, dexter

4 DdRr - Roan, dexter

1 DDrr - white, non-dexter

2 Ddrr - white, dexter

Explanation:

Dexter is deleterious in homozygous condition, hence, phenotypes are heterozygous.

Roan are also heterozygous.

If dexter allele is represented by D, non dexter individuals will be DD dexter individuals will have the genotype Dd.

If colour in cattle is represented by R, red individuals will be RR, white will be rr, then roan colour will be Rr.

Hence, roan dexter cow and roan dexter bull will both have DdRr genotypes.

Crossing the two:    DdRr   x   DdRr

Progeny:

1 DDRR - Red, non-dexter

2 DDRr - Roan, non-dexter

2 DdRR - Red, dexter

4 DdRr - Roan, dexter

1 DDrr - white, non-dexter

2 Ddrr - white, dexter

<em>Others that are either aborted or stillbirths include:</em>

<em>1 ddRR </em>

<em>2 ddRr </em>

<em>1 ddrr</em>

Please help me!
Artemon [7]

Answer and explanation:

To address this question, we could design an experiment where the effect of soil and gravel can be tested independently. One approach is to test this via <u>Completely Random Design (CRD)</u>. Here, the <u>treatments would be assigned to experimental units completely at random</u> and each treatment will be tested in <u>replication</u> (e.g. triplicates).

The treatment levels would be (1) <u>Grass growing in the soil (triplicates)</u> and (2) <u>grass growing in the gravel (triplicates)</u>. There will be total 6 experimental units and they will be placed randomly. The growth parameters of grass would be then tested after growing for a certain period of time, let's say 90 days.

After this period, the <u>grass will be harvested</u> and the <u>biomass, root length and shoot length</u> will be measured. Because each treatment has three replicate, we will have a clear estimation of soil and gravel on plant growth. The standard deviation would help estimate the effect of natural variations in different treatments. However, they would be consistent because of same environment given for the growth.

The <u>independent variables</u> would be "<u>soil and gravel</u>" and <u>dependent</u> variables would be "<u>growth parameters of the grass (plant root and shoot length and biomass)</u>".

What is the biological impact of minimum catch sizes on a population of fish? a. The population comes to be dominated by smaller
Levart [38]

Answer: The population comes to be dominated by smaller, slower-growing individuals

Explanation:

The minimum catch size simply refers to the shortest allowed length that is required for a caught fish. It should be noted that the minimum catch ensures sustainability with regards to the use of fish stocks and also helps in the promotion of the recovery of some fish.

Lastly, a biological impact of minimum catch sizes on a population of fish is that population comes to be dominated by smaller, slower-growing individuals.
