You are camping in a canyon when a flash flood occurs and you are only able to grab some food before everything else washes away

. Hiking out of the canyon is your best chance for survival, so you need to pack light. You have waffle mix, maple syrup, cooking oil, candy, and a dehydrated sausage. In terms of caloric yield, which should you take to maximize your chance of reaching civilization before dying of starvation?

Answer:

dehydrated sausage

Explanation:

If the concept is to pack light then the way to go in order is

  1. Waffle mix/candy
  2. Sausage
  3. Maple syrup/cooking oil

However this is not calorie efficient. If we were to pack in order of calories then we would have to consider the following

  1. Waffle mix/candy: Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram
  2. Sausage: Protein provides 4 calories per gram; fats provides 9 calories per gram
  3. Maple syrup: Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram
  4. Cooking oil: Fat provides 9 calories per gram

The most calorie dense is the oil and the sausage. Now we can eliminate the waffle mix and candy and maple syrup. Finally we are left with the dehydrated sausage and oil. While oil is more calorie dense it is heavier than the sausage. The dehydrated sausage also has more protein that will be needed to support muscle and tissue maintenance during the hike. Best choice under the circumstance is the dehydrated sausage.

- Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring  will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.</em>

Explanation:

The cross for the offsrings that will be produced by F1 generation is shown below:

         a          a

A      Aa       Aa

A      Aa        Aa

As we can see that all the offsprings in the F1 generation will have heterozygous genes but only the dominant trait will be seen in the phenotype of the F1 generation.

A cross between the F1 generation will give the following results:

         A          a

A      AA      Aa

a       Aa      aa

This cross shows that there will be increases genetic and phenotype variations in offsprings that will be produced by the F1 plants.
