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

The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well
Harrizon [31]

The question is incomplete. The part of the question after this is: Assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.

Answer:

PFK: cytoplasm

insulin: ER--> Golgi--> outside cell

Explanation:

The proteins which are made and have to function in the same cell like Phosphofructokinase (PFK) do not have to undergo the modification processes which are required fro transporting a protein. Such kind of proteins are translated in the free cytoplasmic ribosomes and released into the cytoplasm where they start to function.

The proteins like insulin need to be traveled to different cells where they have to function. Such kind of proteins are formed in the ribosomes which have rough Endoplasmic Reticulum attached to them. From here, they travel to the Golgi complex where they are modified and packaged. From the Golgi-complex, these proteins are moved out of the cell.
