Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ( $X^2$ ):

$X^2$ = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The $X^2$ is calculated thus:

Phenotype O E $X^2$

1 88 164.81 $\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}$ = 35.80

2 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

3 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

4 81 18.31 $\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}$ = 214.64

Total $X^2$ = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

$X^2$ tabulated = 7.815

<em>The calculated </em> $X^2$ <em> exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently. </em>

What are the steps and structures involved in the process of cellular respiration

kow [346]

Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. It has four stages known as glycolysis, Link reaction, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. yup

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct? a. The two

Mandarinka [93]

Question is incomplete ,complete question is as follows :

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

1) The two proteins are very likely related evolutionarily.

2) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such L for I).

3) The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a nonconservative change (such as D for A).

4) There is no correlation between the two proteins since they originate from very different species.

Human and sperm whale myoglobin have very similar primary structures. Which of the following statements are correct?

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

B) Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.

C) Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

D) All of the listed statements are correct.

Answer:

A) Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Explanation:

As the Human and sperm whale myoglobin are very likely related evolutionarily hence option a is correct.

The differences in the sequences in many instances represent a conservative change (such as L for I) hence option b is also correct.

While all the other options are not correct.
