Which of the following is the most predictable outcome of increased gene flow between two populations?

Biology
1 answer:
Rudik [331]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is b. decreased genetic difference between the two populations

Explanation:

The gene flow between two population always reduce the genetic difference between the two population because it increases the homogeneity between the population.  

If there is greater gene flow between the two populations genes will be shared and transferred between the individual of two population which will make the two gene pool to become more and more similar.  

This will increase the fitness of both the population because more allele will add to the two populations. Therefore the correct answer is b.

When pink sweet peas were self-pollinated and the seeds were collected and sown, the following flower colors were obtained: Red
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

c. 1:2:1

The results are consistent with incomplete dominance for this trait, with pink flowers being heterozygous.

Explanation:

If flower color were determined by a gene showing incomplete dominance, the possible genotypes and phenotypes are as follows:

  • RR- red
  • ww - white
  • Rw - pink

If pink sweet peas are self-pollinated, then a cross between two heterozygous individuals is done (Rw x Rw).

<u>From this cross the expected ratios are:</u>

  • 1/4 RR (red)
  • 2/4 Rw (pink)
  • 1/4 ww (white)

So the null hypothesis is that the observed results exhibit a 1:2:1 ratio.

<h3><u>Chi square test</u></h3>

X^{2} = \sum \frac{(Observed - Expected)^2}{Expected}

<u>The observed frequencies were:</u>

  • 34 Red
  • 76 Pink
  • 40 White

Total 150

<u>The expected frequencies for our null hypothesis are:</u>

  • 1/4 x 150 = 37.5 Red
  • 2/4 x 150 = 75 Pink
  • 1/4 x 150 = 37.5 white

X^{2} = \frac{(34- 37.5)^2}{37.5} + \frac{(76- 75)^2}{75} + \frac{(40- 37.5)^2}{37.5}

X^2=0.5067

The degrees of freedom (DF) are calculated as number of phenotypes - 1; in this case DF = 3-1 = 2.

If we look at the Chi square table, for 2 DF and a probability of p0.05, the critical value is 5.991

Our X^2 value of 0.5067 is less than the critical value, so we do not reject the null hypothesis. The results are consistent with incomplete dominance for this trait, with pink flowers being heterozygous.

<span>Steroids are like hormones that greatly influences bodily activities mostly in growth and function.

What name is given to the process by which water crosses a selectively permeable membrane?
Harman [31]

Answer:

(b)-osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis -

In terms of biology , it is a form of diffusion , which is linked to the cells of the body .

The process of diffusion when the molecules and the atoms move from the region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration .

This is done in the presence of a semi - permeable membrane , which allows only a certain substance or molecules to pass via it .

hence , the correct term for the given statement is (b) - osmosis .

Which of the following fermentation methods can occur in animal skeletal muscles?
Blababa [14]

Answer: The correct answer would be lactic acid fermentation.

Explanation:

In humans, specially in muscle cells, lactic acid fermentation takes place during high intensity exercise. During exercise when oxygen supply fails to meet the demands of muscle, they undergo lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration.

During this process, the pyruvate (end product of glycolysis) is converted into the lactate with the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.

It regenerates NAD⁺ lost in the glycolysis and thus, helps in continuous working of glycolysis.
