Suppose you are involved in a project studying a population of Dalea purpurea (purple prairie clover), a diploid, bee pollinated

plant growing at Cayler Prairie in NW Iowa. You collect a sample from 100 individuals and assay DNA sequence variation at the apetala locus, which controls floral morphology. You find two distinct sequences: L and S. Individuals that are LL have very large petals, LS plants have medium sized petals, and SS plants have small petals. Your sample of plants yields the following observed and Hardy-Weinberg expected (HWE) genotypic counts:.Genotype: Observed Counts: HWE Counts:LL 14 9LS 32 42SS 54 49a. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, giving no indication of the preferences of the bees.b. LS heterozygotes are favored due to hybrid vigor.c. Bees are preferentially visiting smaller flowers resulting in a reproductive advantage for plants with smaller petals.d. LL genotype plants have a reproductive advantage due to their larger flowers.e. Bees preferentially cross-pollinate flowers of the same size (like size mating with like) resulting in inbreeding with respect to genotypes at the apetala locus.

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Bees preferentially cross-pollinate flowers of the same size (like size mating with like) resulting in inbreeding with respect to genotypes at the apetala locus.

Inbreeding increases the frequency of homozygousity and deviates from the assumptions of the hardy Weinberg's principle

Rasek [7]

As most microbes reproduce asexually, "species" are defined by differences in their DNA sequences. when the genome of soil microbe a is analyzed, long stretches of genes from multiple species of other soil microbial species are discovered. This indicates that the microbes present in the soil underwent transformation and transfection. Transformation, shown in the image, is the process of the prokaryotic nucleus taking up the foreign DNA from other microbes present in the environment. Tranfection is like transformation but for the eukaryotic cells.

What are the problems encountered during the conduct of the activity in sensory evaluation?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Sensory Evaluation

Sensory evaluation defined as the ‘systematic study of human response to physico-chemical properties’ makes it possible to obtain information about the sensitivity of the human sense and about the four dimensions of the sensory perception, i.e. the quantitative, the qualitative, the temporal and the hedonic dimensions.
