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 some advice you would give to someone who doesn’t know the importance of carrying capacity
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

For someone who doesn't know the importance of carrying capacity, i would advice him to understand what carrying capacity mean, and then tell him that he should not overcrowd the population of animals or be part of humans overcrowding as it can destroy the ecosystem or resources.

Explanation:

This is because, carrying capacity is the population size that can conviniently live in an habitat with the available resources..

It's very important because, it will ensure that the population size that the resources can sustain can live in the environment so as to prevent degradation of the ecosystem or the environment due to increase in population size.

Suppose that you set up a potometer with a bean seedling that is badly wilted. its leaves are wrinkled and drooping. over the co

No. The recorded drop in water in the pipet of the potometer would have been used not only for plant transpiration, but also to return the plant cells to a turgid state. Turgid means to expand<span> due to high fluid content. Plants are required to maintain turgid cells to maintain an upright position as loss of turgidity results in plant wilting.</span>

Answer questions about aspects of Watson-Crick model of DNA structure
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

a. The directionality of the complementary strand is antiparallel. The double-stranded DNA is antiparallel comprising two strands, which run alongside each other, however, point in reverse directions. In a double-stranded molecule of DNA, the 5 prime ends of one strand align with the 3 prime ends of the other strand, and vice versa.  

b. The mediation of base pairing is done by non-covalent hydrogen bonds. It is reversible, that is, the strands can separate and can come combined again without any chemical modification.  

The specificity of base pairing is illustrated by hydrogen bonds that is, the first strand produces hydrogen bonds only with a particular base in the second strand, and these two bases produce a base-pair.  

c. The interaction or association of non-covalent type, that is, hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding. Collectively, they both are strong. In the process, one base associate with the other base on the complementary strand.  

d. The phosphate backbone possesses the tendency to associate with water on the outside of the molecule, and this is favorable chemically as both the strands are held together by hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction.  

The polar molecules of sugar can produce hydrogen bonds with the surrounding molecules of water. The negatively charged phosphate group associate with the positively charged ions. The nonpolar nitrogen bases are found within the molecule and associate favorably through stacking interactions.
