You would like to know whether the progeny of a pair of mated fruit flies are distributed among the resulting four phenotypic cl

asses in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. You perform a chi-square test and obtain a p value of 0.04. Assuming you have done the test correctly, select the best interpretation of this result?
A. The phenotypic ratio is actually 9:3:3:1
B. Approximately 4% of the offspring lie outside the range of values expected for a 1:1:1:1 ratio.
C. The differences between the observed and expected counts are too large to be attributed to chance.
D. The traits being studied are on separate chromosomes.

Answer:  

C. The differences between the observed and expected counts are too large to be attributed to chance.

Explanation:

The p-value of the statistic represents the chance that the observed count is based on luck or chance. When p value too high, the research can't be used since the chance that its not represent real condition are too high. Most researchers use 5% (0.05) as the cutoff of something called statistically significant. In this research, the p-value is 0.04 or 4%, so it is statistically significant.

What evidence supports the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Taking into account photosynthesis, the evidence that best supports the law of energy conservation is energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and becomes chemical energy during photosynthesis (option 2).

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms, characterized by synthesizing their own nutrients by converting solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

During the process of photosynthesis, chloroplasts are capable of absorbing solar energy and converting it into glucose. This process involves the conversion of one type of energy into another.

With respect to the law of conservation of energy, it is necessary to consider:

  1. In the universe there is a constant amount of matter and energy, which is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed.
  2. Energy in an isolated system does not vary, unless it comes into contact with another system.
  3. The amount of energy that is absorbed and obtained is equivalent.

In photosynthesis, the chloroplast is not an isolated system, but has contact with the outside and is capable of absorbing the energy of the sun. This energy will be used to obtain a product, glucose, in an amount proportional to the amount of energy absorbed.

Regarding other options:

<em>     1. In photosynthesis, it is not </em><u><em>mechanical energy</em></u><em> that is transformed into chemical energy.</em>

<em>     3. </em><u><em>Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis</em></u><em>, during the process of chemical energy synthesis, from the combination of carbon dioxide, water and solar energy.</em>

<em>     4. It is true that the </em><u><em>sun gives off light energy that is absorbed by plants</em></u><em>, but it does not explain how this energy is transformed into chemical energy.</em>

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.

2.  Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.

3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.

4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.

5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
