A biologist conducts an experiment by releasing 50 Dd parrots on a remote tropical island, Alpha. On another remote island, call

ed Beta, she releases 25 DD parrots and 25 dd parrots. What is the most likely description of the parrot populations after several generations? Assume random mating and equal chances of survival for all genotypes.

Explanation:

On island A,

Parrots with Dd were released therefore these will mate with each other and will produce:

                          Dd   x Dd

                        D         d

              D     <em>DD        Dd</em>

             d     <em>Dd          dd</em>

Therefore, 25% DD, 50% Dd and 25% dd genotype parrot offspings will be produced.

On island B, parrots with DD and dd were released, therefore they will mate and will produce,

                       DD  x   dd

1.                 D             D

       d   <em>   Dd          Dd</em>

        d      <em>Dd          Dd</em>

2.              DD   x     DD

               D            D

    D         <em>DD         DD</em>

    D         <em>DD         DD</em>

3.               dd   x dd

                  d      d

         d     <em> dd   dd</em>

          d    <em> dd   dd</em>

This shows that there is a possibility on island A where 25% DD, 50% Dd and 25% dd genotype parrot offsprings will be produced whereas on island B, chances are almost equal as all three genotype parrot offsprings can be produced but the percentage could vary.

Which of these statements about eicosanoid synthesis is true?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

A) An early step in the path to thromboxanes is blocked by ibuprofen.

Explanation:

Eicosanoids are signaling molecules that are produced by oxidation of  arachidonic acid or other twenty-carbon essential fatty acid. Eicosanoids are involved in immune responses: they inhibit inflammation, allergy, fever, they also regulate pregnancy, childbirth, control cell growth..

Synthesis of  prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane (subfamilies of eicosanoids) is inhibited by aspirin and some anti-Inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.
