A plant breeder has determined the following variances for yield of corn in his fields:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

A. VG = 80

B. Broad sense heritability = 0.80

C. Narrow sense heritability = 0.30

D. Average yield = 430 Units

Explanation:

A. Given that

VA = 30

VD = 50

VI = assumed not available

Therefore

Total genetic variance (VG) = VA + VD

= 30 + 50

= 80

VG = 80

B. Given that

VP = 100

VG = 80

Broad sense heritability, H2 = VG/VP

= 80/100

= 0.80

C. Given that

VA = 30

VP = 100

Narrow sense heritability, h2 = VA/VP

=30/100

= 0.30

D. The difference in selection = 500 - 400

= 100

Recall,

Selection response is heritability multiplied by selection differential.

That is

R = h2S

Selection differential = 100

Heritability h2 = 0.30

Selection response = 0.30 × 100

= 30units

Therefore, expected average yield = 400 + 30

= 430 Units

2. In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electr
atroni [7]

Answer:

NAD+ act both as coenzyme as well as electron acceptor compound and get reduced to NADH by accepting electron.

Explanation:

NAD+ act as co enzyme of various biological catalyst such as malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase etc.

             NAD+ can act as co enzyme only in its oxidized form but not in its reduced form called NADH.

         Many reaction needs NAD+ to occur such as conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate, malate to oxaloacetate.

              That"s why NAD+/NADH ratio is kept very high because if this ratio bychance get  low then it will hamper the normal redox potential of NAD+/NADH.As a result many biochemical reaction will not take place.

Match each interaction with its example.
Sati [7]

Answer:

1. Parasitism

2. Mutualism

3. Competition

4. Commensalism

Explanation:

The given are all different ecological relationships. These relationships how the members of the ecosystem interact with each other.

Parasitism is a relationship where one organism is harmed and the other one benefits. However, parasitism is specifically referring to a relationship where one lives inside the other organism, causing it harm by directly feeding off them or depriving it from getting nutrients.

Mutualism is a relationship were both organisms benefit from the relationship. In the example, the aphids provide protection for the ants while the ants provide food to the aphids (honey dew). Another example of a mutualistic relationship would be the tickbird and the rhino. The rhino benefits because the tickbird eats the ticks of the rhino, and in return, the tickbird is fed.

Competition is a relationship between organisms that compete for resources. In the case of your question the two grasses are competing against each other for the nutrients and water. Animals also share this type of relationship, especially when those that prey on the same animals for food.

Commensalism is a relationship between organisms where one benefits and the other does not benefit, but is NOT harmed. A good example would be the remora and sharks. Remoras are fish that swim with sharks. They swim beneath the sharks fins. The sharks provides them protection from other predators and remoras benefit because they get to eat scraps of the sharks food as well.

How do mass extinctions affect the rate of evolutionary change?
ANEK [815]

The role of mass extinction in evolution. At the most basic level, mass extinctions reduce diversity by killing off specific lineages, and with them, any descendant species they might have given rise to. ... But mass extinction can also play a creative role in evolution, stimulating the growth of other branches.
