A farmer wants to know if adding antibiotics to cow feed will fatten them up. He takes two groups of 25 cows each. One group is

given an antibiotic pill and the other group is given a placebo (empty pill). Both groups were fed the same food, given the same amount of water, and were provided with the same level of activity. They were weighed at the end of a month. Hypothesis: Independent Variable: Dependent Variable: Control Group: Experimental Group:

Answer:

The correct answer is-

Hypothesis: Antibiotics cause weight gain in cows.

Independent Variable: Antibiotic pill

Dependent Variable: Weight of cow

Control Group: a group of cows gets a placebo pill

Experimental Group: a group of cows gets an antibiotic pill

Explanation:

The Independent variable is the variable that causes the response from the dependent variable or affects the dependent variable in this study the antibiotic pill affects the weight of cows so The independent variable is an antibiotic pill and the dependent variable is the weight of cows.

The control group is the group of subjects that did not get the treatment in a scientific study in the case of this study group of cows that receives the placebo pill is the control group and the experiment group is subjects that receive the treatment which is a group with the antibiotic pill.

In squash, yellow seeds are dominant over green seeds. If two heterozygous yellow seed squash were crossed, what are the genotyp
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The result of cross two squashes with yellow seeds is an offspring of squash with green seeds -dominant caracter- heterozygous and yellow seeds squashes in a genotype proportion 1:2:1  and phenotype proportion 3:1

Explanation:

The cross of two heterozygous individuals for a characteristic results in an offspring that will have both characteristics in pure and heterozygous form. It is a cross monohybrid which complies with the principle of independent segregation exposed by Mendel.

For the characteristic "seed color" the green color would be G and yellow represented as g.

At the cross of two heterozygous squashs:

- Parents: Gg X Gg

- <u>Punnett's Square</u>:

Alleles    G         g

G           GG       Gg

g           Gg        gg

Offspring:

  • A pumpkin of green seeds GG (25%)
  • Two pumpkins of green heterozygous seeds Gg (50%)
  • One pumpkin of yellow seeds gg (25%)

Genotype proportion 1:2:1

Phenotype proportion 3:1

The number of major histocompatibility (MHC) protein combinations possible in a given population is enormous. However, an indivi
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.
