Answer:

3 peaks

Explanation:

Topographic map is used to show different landforms using different symbols. There are two important elements of landforms that include elevation and slope. It uses contour lines to portray different features of lands on the map such as slope and elevation.

According to topographic maps, more close are the counter lines, more elevation are in the landforms.

Peak is the pointed top of mountains. In this topographic maps peaks or elevation is shown in the form of irregular spherical shape. There are 4 elevations in the map but only 3 shows the peak according to counter line formation and the fourth elevation will not have peak on the top.

Hence, the given topographic map has only 3 peaks in the landform.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A woman creates new immature ova in the ovary each time she has a menstrual cycle.

Explanation:

During the menstrual cycle, hormones present in the body make the immature eggs 'mature' ones, in the ovary. About in half of the cycle, hormones make the release of the mature egg from the ovary and travels towards uterus. It can remain there for 24 hours and if not fertilized the it breaks down and released out.

A genetically heterogeneous population of rice has a mean in the number of days to maturation of 30. Selection for decreased per

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

h² = 0.6

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.

Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.

The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,

SD = X₀ - Xs

Heritability in the strict sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.

h² = R/SD

The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.

R = h²SD

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

Available data:

You are selecting rice´s decreased period of maturation.
The population of rice has a mean maturation time of 30 days → X₀
Parental selected average period to maturation is 25 days → Xs
F1 plants mature on average in 27 days → X₁
N arrow sense Heritability → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of h².

We know that h² = R/SD, so we need to get R and SD first.

R = X₁ - X₀

R = 27 - 30

R = -3

SD = Xs - X₀

SD = 25 - 30

SD = -5

Knowing this, we can calculate h²

h² = R/SD

h² = -3/-5

h² = 0.6
