* A strawberry farmer determines that the average weight of individual strawberries produced by plants in his garden is 2 g. He

selects the 10 plants that produce the largest strawberries; the average weight of strawberries produced by these selected plants is 6 g. He interbreeds these selected plants. The progeny of these selected plants produce strawberries that weigh an average of 5 g. If the farmer were to select plants that produce strawberries with an average weight of 4 g, what would be the predicted weight of strawberries produced by the progeny of those selected plants

Answer:

R = Alteration among mean initial population and mean offspring of designated parents

R=5g - 2g = 3g

S = Assortment alteration among the mean initial population and the mean designated parents

S = 6g - 2g = 4g

R= h^{2}  * 5

3g =h^{2} (4g) =0.75

if the designated selected plants averaged 4g then S would be 2g and

R = 0.75(2g) = 1.5 g.

Thus, the average weight of strawberries would be 2g + 1.5g = 3.5 grams

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is D increasing the activity of protons pumps that lowers the pH  of the cell walls allowing cells to elongate.

Explanation:

The plant growth hormone auxin work by increasing the H+ ion concentration thus decreasing the pH of the apoplast.

    The decrease in the pH of the apoplast helps in the cell wall extension that ultimately result in cell growth.

   Auxin hormone exert this effect by increasing the activity of increasing the activity of proton pumps in the apoplastic membrane.

Whole brain death occurs when the ______ ceases to function.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Whole brain death occurs when the BRAINSTEM ceases to function.

Explanation:

In the US, whole brain death = legal death. Most people consider that a person is brain dead when the cerebrum, or the higher brain, is dead because the person is not able to think or have control over his/her body, but legally you are brain dead only when the brainstem ceases to function. The brainstem is responsible for keeping you alive and performing the most basic bodily functions like breathing and keeping your heart beating. But once it fails, you are legally dead. Even if your body could still survive using a ventilator and other devices, your brain has ceased to work and you wouldn't be able to survive if you were unplugged.
