Is there a picture with this question? It seems like there's background information which isn't being shown here.

Pedigrees are basically a map of alleles for family trees
 
                   ______Person1 -- Person2_____
                  I                I                  I                 I
        __Person3_   Person 4     Person5    _Person6___
       I                   I                          I            I                    I
   Person7 Person8                 Person9   Person10  Person11

And under everyone's name you write their alleles.

Punnett squares give the probability of someone having genes based on their parents' genes.
 
                             Parent1 (Aa)                   or                      Parent1 (aa)
 
Parent2 (AA)        AA      Aa                             Parent2 (Aa)     Aa      aa
                             AA      Aa                                                       aa      aa

What are the differences between hypothesis , theory, and law?
Blababa [14]
Hypothesis is what you think will happen before the experiment, it isn't necessarily backed up by any sources or evidence. A scientific law is the observation of a phenomenon and a theory is the explanation both can be used together to back each other up.

To manage the grizzly bear population better, the government of Alberta introduced a hunting lottery that awards a limited numbe
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1990.

Explanation:

From the graph and year - population size table it is clearly understood that the population of grizzly bear is reduced by 39 number from year 1988 to 1989.

But after 1989 from 1990 onwards population of grizzly bear is consistently rising.

Now, let us analyse the data given in question number 2 .

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1976 to 1988 = 581

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1988 to 2000 = 281

From the above data we can clearly say now that the grizzly bear population deaths starts increasing from 1990.

So, the prediction made in question no. 1 that " the government of Alberta introduced the hunting lottery award in 1990 because in 1989 it decreases and then it starts to go up again in 1990",

Which combination describes the plasma membrane?
lilavasa [31]

<u>Answer</u>: C) Hydrophobic interior, hydrophilic exterior

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>plasma membrane</em> of the cell defines its boundary and separates its internal components from the external environment.
  • The basic components of the plasma membrane include phospholipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and cholesterol.
  • The plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, with <em>hydrophobic</em> tails of the phospholipid projecting <em>inwards</em> and the <em>hydrophilic</em> exterior in contact with the external environment.
  • <em>Due to this, the plasma membrane has a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior. </em>

You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the R locus. Suppose
natulia [17]

Answer:

The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:

p + q = 1

r-6 + R = 1  

0.2 + 0.8 = 1

Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64

The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04

And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32
