You are studying a variety of pea plant that has either red flowers or white flowers. When you cross true-breeding red-flowering

plants with true-breeding white-flowering plants, you get all red-flowering plants in the F1 generation. If you then allow the F1 plants to self-fertilize, you observe that 75% of the F2 plants are red-flowering plants, while 25% of the F2 plants are white-flowering plants. Next you make 640 different monohybrid crosses and decide to analyze only the first 8 plants produced from each of these crosses (i.e. a total of 5120 progeny plants total). How many of these crosses would be expected to produce 6 red plants and 2 white plants?

Answer:

approximately 200

Explanation:

From the question, we have

probability of red = 0.75

Probability of white = 0.25

We are required to find the probability of 6 red + 2 white plants offspring and after we do we multiply it by 640

We will solve this using the binomial theorem method

(a+b)⁸ = a⁸+8a⁷b+28a⁶b²+56a⁵b³+70a⁴b⁴+56a³b⁵+28a²b⁶+8a¹b⁷+b⁸

The required probability is 28a⁶b²

a = 0.75

b = 0.25

= 28 x 0.75⁶ x 0.25² x 640

= 28 x 0.178 x 0.0625 x 640

= 199.36

Which is approximately 200 crosses would be needed

If a person moved from boston to miami, how would the normal pattern of adh secretion be altered? Could a person prepare to move
Softa [21]

Boston is colder than Miami.

Therefore, more water is lost in the form of sweat in summer than in winter. In the summer, your body becomes dehydrated, releasing more ADH in your body.

ADH Syndrome of antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin is synthesized by the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland to maintain blood osmolality. It increases the reabsorption of water from the kidney nephrons.

Therefore, in a cold environment like Boston, ADH will be low and will increase significantly in Miami.

Several chemicals change ADH levels.

Drugs that raise ADH levels include vasotrict and vasopressin.

Drugs that lower ADH includes alcohol.

Therefore, some chemicals can affect ADH levels in the blood.

What are abiotic factors? how can they affect the population dynamics? give some examples?
Alisiya [41]
Abiotic factors are things that aren't living that effect an environment, like pH (how acidic the soil is), the temperature, amount of light, and so on. These can effect a population by making it more difficult to survive, perhaps creating more competition over available resources and so on. So for example, if the soil is really acidic in an area, a population of plants may not be able to grow well in that environment.
