Answer:

A. 90

B. 30

C. 30

D. 10

E. 0.53

F. Yes

G. 7.51

H. Yes

Explanation:

<h3>Part A</h3>

There are a total of 160 plants (80   +   36   +   39   +   5 = 160).

In Mendel's experiment, an F1 generation of a dihybrid cross between two true breeding plants gives 100% heterozygous plants. We self-cross them to create the F2, in which we expect a ratio of 9:3:3:1. The dominant parental phenotype would be 9, the two recombinant phenotypes would both be 3, and the recessive parental phenotype would be 1.

Therefore, we calculate the total number of plants divided by the total number of potential outcomes from the cross (16), multiplied by 9, which is the expected number of tall violet plants

160 /  16 = 10

10 x 9 = 90

<h3>Part B</h3>

We carry out this calculation as above, within Mendel's law of 9:3:3:1, tall plants with white flowers represent the recombinant phenotype, meaning we divide the total number of flowers by the total number of potential outcomes from the cross (160/16 = 10). We then multiply this by the expected ratio, which is 3

10 x 3 = 30

<h3>Part C</h3>

This phenotype is also a recombinant phenotype, meaning the expected ratios are as in part B :  dwarf plants with violet flowers represent the recombinant phenotype, meaning we divide the total number of flowers by the total number of potential outcomes from the cross (160/16 = 10). We then multiply this by the expected ratio, which is 3

10 x 3 = 30

<h3>Part D</h3>

Dwarf plants with white flowers are the recessive parental phenotype, within the ratio of 9:3:3:1, they represent 1. Again, we divide the total number of flowers by the total number of potential outcomes from the cross (160/16 = 10). We then multiply this by the expected ratio, which is 1

10 x 1 = 10

<h3>Part E</h3>

Mendel's law of segregation states that alleles segregate randomly into gametes. To assess whether the law of segregation is being adhered to here, in terms of stem length, we perform a chi squared test, which has the formula

Sum of = \frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E} for all classes

Where O is the observed value and E is the expected value. The easiest way to do this is to construct a simple table:

The observed number of tall flowers is 80 + 36 = 116, the expected number is 90 + 30 = 120. The observed number of dwarf flowers is 39 + 5 = 44. The expected number of dwarf flowers is 30 + 10 = 40

                                               O             E          (O-E)²          (O-E)²/ E

tall flowers              .              116           120          16                0.13

dwarf flowers                        44           40            16                0.4

<u>TOTAL                                                                                     = 0.53</u>

<h3>Part F</h3>

To see whether the deviation of the observed values from the expected values can be attributed to random chance, we first have to know the degrees of freedom.

The degrees of freedom are the number of tested outcomes - 1. In this case there are 2 phenotypes, so 1 degree of freedom.

We then consult a table showing the critical values of the chi squared distribution, to see the maximum chi squared value for our degrees of freedom, within our threshold for statistical significance. A table is attached. The table tells you the probability that the chi squared value was exceeded by random chance.

Our value of 0.53 corresponds to a p value of more than 0.5. This means that, if the law of segregation is true, then deviations from expected values this large are expected approximately 50 percent of the time. our level for significance is 0,05 (5%), so the null hypothesis cannot be rejected and the law of segregation applies.

<h3>Part G</h3>

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that any combination of alleles from the parents can be inherited in the offspring. I.e. the offspring have just as much chance of inheriting both tall white alleles as both dwarf violet alleles.

Sum of = \frac{(O-E)^{2}}{E} for all classes

                                               O             E          (O-E)²          (O-E)²/ E

tall, violet flowers                 80           90          100                 1.11

tall, white flowers                 36           30           36                  1.2

dwarf, violet flowers           39           30            81                   2.7

dwarf, white flowers           5             10           25                   2.5

<u>TOTAL                                                                                     = 7.51</u>

<u></u>

<h3>Part H</h3>

The degrees of freedom are the number of tested outcomes - 1. In this case there are 4 phenotypes, so 3 degrees of freedom.

Our threshold for significance (p value) is 0.05 unless told otherwise. Our chi squared value corresponds to a p value between 0.1 and 0.05, meaning that deviations from expected values this large are expected approximately 5-10% of the time. This is within our significant threshold, of 0.05 (5%) so our deviations can be attributed to random chance.

liq [111]

Answer:

Cell adhesion molecules would help white blood cells to stick to the wall of the blood vessel, so they can permeate across the wall and go into the underlying injured tissue.

Explanation:

The cell adhesion molecules, also called CAMs, are a type of cell adhesion proteins on the cell's surface, they take part in the binding of other types of cells and work together with the extracellular matrix in the process of cell adhesion.  

Long story short, the protein helps cells stick together or to the surrounding tissues, thus helping on the maintenance of tissue structure and function. In fully grown mammals (including humans), CAMs play an important and key role in creating force and movement, thus assuring the organs are able to execute their function.

In their role as "molecular glue", CAMs are important participants in the cellular mechanisms of growth, contact inhibition, apoptosis and diapedesis, and when their behavior goes haywire, they are associated with afflictions going from frostbite to cancer.

Why is damage to the heart more serious than damage to the liver ?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Heart failure can rob your liver of the blood it needs to work. The fluid buildup that comes with it puts extra pressure on the portal vein, which brings blood to your liver. This can scar the organ to the point where it doesn't work as well as it should.

The critical component of Kochs second postudace is that
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

4. The suspected causative agent must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture

Explanation:

Robert Koch (1843-1910) was one of the most important bacteriologists of all time. Famous for discovering the tuberculosis bacillus (precisely on March 24, such as today, in 1882), he also discovered the cholera bacillus and is considered the founder of bacteriology. He worked on the isolation of infectious agents and reinfections from pure cultures, experiences from which he established the "Koch Postulates".

These postulates have been taken as a reference that describes the etiology of all the causative agents of an infectious disease, although they were originally used to describe only the tuberculosis bacillus. They are the following:

1- The agent must be present in each case of the disease and absent in the healthy.

2- The agent should not appear in other diseases.

3- The agent must be isolated in a pure culture from the lesions of the disease.

4- The agent has to cause the disease in an animal that can be inoculated
