A cabbage farmer is trying to selectively breed his crop for larger heads of cabbage Currently, the average weight of a head of

cabbage in his field is 2.5 kg. He selects the plants producing the largest heads as breeders, the average size among this proportion of his population is 5.5 kg. In the next generation, the average weight of a head of cabbage in his field is 3.5 kg a. Calculate heritability for this trait. b In part a, did you calculate narrow-sense or broad-sense heritability? C. If the farmer wanted to increase the average weight of a head of cabbage to 5 kg (assume the change must occur within one generation) from an initial population mean of 2.5 kg, how much must the average head among the breeders weigh?

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Average weight before selection =2.5 kg  

Average weight after selection = 5.5 kg

Average weight in the next generation =3.5kg

h^{2}= \frac{R}{S}

R= Mean weight in the next generation - mean weight before selection

=  3.5-2.5 = 1.0

S= Mean weight after selection -mean weight before selection

= 5.5 - 2.5 = 3.0

h^{2} = \frac{R}{S} = \frac{1.0}{3.0} = 0.33

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.
Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

As Virginia becomes more more populated construction of new homes has destroyed much of a force this has cause rivers and stream
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - water pollution.

Explanation:

In the US, water pollution is one of the most serious ecological problems, and sedimentation by filled with dirt, slit caused by development sites or construction sites. It is caused in the name of developing cities and states for new homes and other construction that is nothing but careless development that is causing water pollution in these areas including the Virginia.

The excessive silt has covered the spawning beds of fish causes spawning of the habitat. The dirt and slit and sediments cause inhibiting light to aquatic plants that result in less oxygen and food for aqautic life.
