The Offspring produced by a cross between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C. A

Complete question:

The offspring produced between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes, denoted by A, B and C. A theoretical model of gene inheritance suggests that the offspring of types A, B and C should be in a 1:2:1 ratio (meaning 25% A, 50% B, and 25% C). For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded in the table below.

Genotype Observed frequency

A → 18 individuals

B → 55 individuals

C → 27 individuals

Do these contradict the genetic model?

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Determine the chi-square test statistic.

Answer:

Do these contradict the genetic model? No, according to the chi-square test, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the population being in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Available data:

Crossed genotypes: two
Genotypes among the offspring; Three → A, B, and C
Expected phenotypic ratio → 1:2:1
Total number of individuals, N = 100
A = 18 individuals
B = 55 individuals
C = 27 individuals

So, let us first state the hypothesis:

H₀= the population is equilibrium for this locus → F(A) = 25%, F(B) = 50%, F(C) = 25%
H₁ = the population is not in equilibrium

Now, let us calculate the number of expected individuals, according to their expected ratio.

4 -------------- 100% -------------100 individuals

1 --------------- 25% -------------X = 25 individuals A

2 -------------- 50% -------------X = 50 individuals B

1----------------- 25%--------------X = 25 individuals C

A B C

Observed 18 55 27
Expected 25 50 25
(Obs-Exp)²/Exp 1.96 0.5 0.16

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

A) (18 - 25)²/25 = 49/25 = 1.96

B) (55 - 50)² / 50 = 25/50 = 0.5

C) (27 - 25)²/25 = 4/25 = 0.16

Chi square = X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

∑ is the sum of the terms
O are the Observed individuals: 2 in chamber B, and 18 in chamber A.
E are the Expected individuals: 10 in each chamber

X² = ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 1.96 + 0.5 + 0.16 = 2.62

Freedom degrees = 2

Significance level, 5% = 0.05

Table value/Critical value = 5.99

X² < Critical value

2.62 < 5.99

These results suggest that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We can assume that the locus under study in this population is in equilibrium H-W.

Which statement is supported by this cladogram?

Andre45 [30]

Ans.

The given diagram represents a cladogram, which is used to show evolutionary relationships between various organisms or species.

The intersection points between the lines show the common ancestors, which evolved into different organisms at the end of the branches, as A, B, C, D.

The first branch end (A) represents that most primitive organism, while the last branch end (D) represents the most recent organism.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'organism A is the most primitive organism.'

Hemocytoblast cells

Ulleksa [173]

I believe the correct answer would be D. Hemocytoblast cells give rise to formed elements in the blood. These cells are stem cells for elements that are blood-cellular. They are obtained from the mesoderm and are located in the bone marrow. When these cells are divided into two cells, one of the daughter cells would be come a blood cell while the other will remain as a hemocytoblast to ensure that there is enough of this cell that is available. They are considered to be able to produce all blood cell types namely white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells. To do this, they undergo the process of haematopoiesis.
