In cocker spaniels, solid coat color is dominant over spotted coat color. If two heterozygous solid dogs were crossed to each ot

her, what would be the probability of having a first litter of five pups, the firstborn with solid fur, and then among the next four, three with solid fur and one with spotted fur; and then a second litter of seven pups in which the firstborn is spotted and the remaining six are solid animals.

Answer:

Let us assume:

Spotted coat color = ss (homozygous recessive)

Solid coat color = SS  (homozygous dominant)

and, the heterozygous = Ss ,

and the gametes formed would be S and s for each parent, so the next generation would be :

Male/Female    S                                           s

S              <u><em>SS(Solid coat color pups) </em></u>         <em><u> Ss(Solid coat color pups) </u></em>

s             <u><em> Ss(Solid coat color pups)</em></u>          <u><em>  ss(Spotted coat color pups) </em></u>

<em> B</em>y this punnet square the ratio of phenotype is : 3 : 1 of solid : spotted

On this basis

i) 4 with solid fur and 1 with spotted fur out of first litter of five:

Using binomial expansion equation, where n = 5, x = 4, p = 0.75, q = 0.25. The answer is 0.396 = 39.6% of the time.

ii) A first litter of six pups, four with solid fur and two with spotted fur, and then a second litter of five pups, all with solid fur.  For the first litter, n = 6, x = 4, p = 0.75, q = 0.25; for the second litter, n = 5, x = 5, p = 0.75, q = 0.25.

Due to the litters are in a specified order, one need to use the product rule and multiply the probability of the first litter times and the second litter. The answer is 0.070, or 7.0%.

iii) The product rule has been applied and multiply the probability of the first pup (0.75) times the probability of the remaining four.

By using binomial expansion equation the probability of the remaining four, where n = 4, x = 3, p = 0.75, q = 0.25.  The probability of the first litter is 0.316.

Similarly the probability of the remaining five by binomial expansion equation, where n = 5, x = 4, p = 0.75, q = 0.25.  The probability of the second litter is 0.025.

The probability of the first litter (0.316) times the probability of second litter (0.025). The answer is 0.008, or 0.8%.

Cerebrospinal Fluid

Produced by the choroid plexuses of the brain, the cerebral spinal fluid is contained in the subarachnoid cavity and spinal canal. It is reabsorbed by the arachnoid granulations.
Besides acting as a cushion for the CNS, the cerebral spinal fluid plays a critical part in the immunology of the central nervous system, blood flow in the CNS and autoregulation.

The illustration shows one of the ways resources are removed from the deep sea. Describe what type of resources these are, inclu
just olya [345]

Answer:

Marine mining is a process that can be done by dredging the seabed and is used for the extraction of mineral resources from the seabed, which are non-renewable, with a negative impact on marine ecosystems.

Explanation:

The illustration shows a process of marine mining by dredging, where the resource extracted is of a mineral nature, like copper, zinc, silver and gold. Gravel used for construction can also be extracted from the sea. Mineral resources extracted from the sea are not renewable.

The process of marine mining can be harmful to the ecosystems there, so it must be a process that requires control and management from the ecological point of view.

Two possible consequences of not regulating marine mining are:

  1. <u><em>Destruction of the habitat of life forms present on the sea floor</em></u><em>, which endangers many species and even forces migration to more stable areas, with consequences on the food chains. </em>
  2. <em><u>Extinction of marine species that inhabit the seabed</u></em><em>. The flora and fauna of the sea floor usually have slow reproductive cycles and, in the case of fish, spawning takes place on the bottom of the sea. Mining endangers the reproductive cycles of the species, leading to induced extinction.</em>

Responsible and controlled mining activity can be useful for humans, while avoiding negative consequences on the ecosystems that exist at the seabed.
