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

Name two types of evidence used to support the theory of evolution. explain how scientist use each type of evidence to provide s
joja [24]

Answer:

There are many types of evidence which support the theory of evolution such as comparative anatomy, fossil records, phylogenetic relationship, embryology et cetera

Comparative anatomy includes homologous organs and analogous organs. They support divergent and convergent evolution respectively.  

For example, the homologous structure of limb of humans, birds, bat, horse, whale et cetera show that they are made up of the same set of bones which are humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.  

It shows divergent evolution and supports that these organisms have evolved from a common ancestor.

Embryological evidence: When early stages of embryological development of different organisms are compared, it is found that these stages are similar at different levels of development.

For example:

  • The appearance of pharyngeal-arch (gill-like structures) in vertebrates during embryo development.
  • Salamanders and terrestrial frogs pass through larval stages within an egg. They possess the features similar to aquatic larvae, however, when they hatched out the eggs being ready for life on land.

It is problematic due to antibiotic-resistance that would occur. This extensive use and abuse of antibiotics result in the emergence  of resistant strains of bacteria.  Some types of bacteria that cause serious infections in humans have already developed resistance to most or all of the available treatments, and there are very few promising options in the market.
