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

34 Pink 76 White 40 Use a chi-squared test to determine whether these results are consistent with the hypothesis that pink flowers are heterozygous for a single pair of color alleles, showing incomplete dominance. If this is indeed a case of incomplete dominance, what ratio of red: pink: white flowers should we predict for our null hypothesis?a. 9:3:4b. 3:1:0c. 1:2:1 d. 1:4:1

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.

natulia [17]

Answer:

Hilum.

Explanation:

Hilum may be defined as the type of the depression or the fissure and may present in kidney known as kidney hilum, present on spleen and the lungs. This is also known as hilus.

The hilum marks the entry and exit of the nerves and the blood vessels. The lung hilum is a triangular like depression through which the blood vessels, capillaries and the nerves enter and leave in the lungs and connects the other organ of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

Example of how muscle tissue could be used in post-mortem analysis
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Skeletal muscle decomposes more slowly than internal organs and nerve tissue after death, but still more quickly than cartilage and bone.

Together, these factors make muscle tissue a good candidate for postmortem change study and well-suited for standard forensic lab examination.

How does igneous rock become sedimentary rock?
Zinaida [17]

Explanation:

Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly. Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly. When it pours out on Earth's surface, magma is called lava. In this way, igneous rock can become sedimentary rock.

Any rock (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) can become a metamorphic rock. If rocks are buried deep in the Earth at high temperatures and pressures, they form new minerals and textures all without melting. If melting occurs, magma is formed, starting the rock cycle all over again.

Which are autotrophs ?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Tiny organisms that live in the ocean are autotrophs. Some types of bacteria are autotrophs.

I hope this helps :)
