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

What is the process shown above by which molten material moves through earth's mantle?
Akimi4 [234]
The process by which molten material moves through the Earth's mantle is known as convection current. This is simply demonstrated within a liquid, in this case molten material, in which the hottest materials rise and the colder materials sink. Convection currents in the mantle are the forces that help move plate tectonics.

<u>Answer</u>: C. Neutralization of stomach acid.

Hydrochloric acid is one of the three components of the stomach acid. The other two are potassium chloride and sodium chloride.

It plays a key role in the destruction of some ingested microorganisms. It is also vital to the digestion of proteins by activating the enzyme pepsin.
