The primary function of estrogens in women is development of female sexual characteristics during puberty. (Breasts, regulation of the menstrual cycle etc.)
In males estrogen helps in maturation of the sperm and maintenance of a healthy libido.

Estrogen is the female hormone made mainly in the ovaries. The ovary is the female sex gland and they produce eggs as well as estrogen. Estrogen makes a girl develop her sexual organs and also controls her monthly menstrual cycle.

The Chesapeake Bay is an important natural resource. Over the years, the number of oysters in the bay has declined dramatically,

valkas [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Chesapeake Bay is an example of an estuary that is located in the United States. It is a source of edible marine creatures such as oysters, crabs, prawns e.t.c

Over the years, non - sustainable harvesting of oysters by farmers have been happening at Chesapeake bay, resulting in a reduction in the amount of oysters present.

In a plant cell wall the layer that is between a membrane, adding additional protection and support; not found in all plant cell

Tomtit [17]

Answer: SECONDARY CELL WALL.

Explanation: When cell wall grow,it becomes thickened,then it further deposits new layers of a different material (different from that of the primary cell wall) from where secondary cell wall is formed.

This secondary cell wall is made up of cellulose,hemicellulose,and lignin.

They function in providing additional strength,support, rigidity to cells and the larger plant.

The Offspring produced by a cross between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C. A

ratelena [41]

Complete question:

The offspring produced between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes, denoted by A, B and C. A theoretical model of gene inheritance suggests that the offspring of types A, B and C should be in a 1:2:1 ratio (meaning 25% A, 50% B, and 25% C). For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded in the table below.

Genotype Observed frequency

A → 18 individuals

B → 55 individuals

C → 27 individuals

Do these contradict the genetic model?

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Determine the chi-square test statistic.

Answer:

Do these contradict the genetic model? No, according to the chi-square test, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the population being in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Available data:

Crossed genotypes: two
Genotypes among the offspring; Three → A, B, and C
Expected phenotypic ratio → 1:2:1
Total number of individuals, N = 100
A = 18 individuals
B = 55 individuals
C = 27 individuals

So, let us first state the hypothesis:

H₀= the population is equilibrium for this locus → F(A) = 25%, F(B) = 50%, F(C) = 25%
H₁ = the population is not in equilibrium

Now, let us calculate the number of expected individuals, according to their expected ratio.

4 -------------- 100% -------------100 individuals

1 --------------- 25% -------------X = 25 individuals A

2 -------------- 50% -------------X = 50 individuals B

1----------------- 25%--------------X = 25 individuals C

A B C

Observed 18 55 27
Expected 25 50 25
(Obs-Exp)²/Exp 1.96 0.5 0.16

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

A) (18 - 25)²/25 = 49/25 = 1.96

B) (55 - 50)² / 50 = 25/50 = 0.5

C) (27 - 25)²/25 = 4/25 = 0.16

Chi square = X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

∑ is the sum of the terms
O are the Observed individuals: 2 in chamber B, and 18 in chamber A.
E are the Expected individuals: 10 in each chamber

X² = ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 1.96 + 0.5 + 0.16 = 2.62

Freedom degrees = 2

Significance level, 5% = 0.05

Table value/Critical value = 5.99

X² < Critical value

2.62 < 5.99

These results suggest that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We can assume that the locus under study in this population is in equilibrium H-W.
