Answer:

Abstract

The relative contributions of sexual and asexual reproduction to the genetic structure of populations can be difficult to determine for fungi that use a mixture of both types of propagation. Nuclear RFLPs and DNA fingerprints were used to make indirect and direct measures of departures from random mating in a population of the plant pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola during the course of an epidemic cycle. DNA fingerprints resolved 617 different genotypes among 673 isolates sampled from a single field over a 3-month period. Only 7% of the isolates represented asexual clones that were found more than once in the sample. The most common clone was found four times. Genotypic diversity averaged 85% of its maximum possible value during the course of the epidemic. Analyses of multilocus structure showed that allelic distributions among RFLP loci were independent. Pairwise comparisons between individual RFLP loci showed that the majority of alleles at these loci were in gametic equilibrium. Though this fungus has the capacity for a significant level of asexual reproduction, each analysis suggested that M. graminicola populations maintain a genetic structure more consistent with random-mating over the course of an epidemic cycle.

Human development begins with a(n)

artcher [175]

Answer:

Zygote, the nucleus of male and female gametes join, mitosis

Explanation:

The human belongs to the animal kingdom which begins their life when the male and female gametes fuse through a process called Fertilization.

The process of fertilization involves the fusion of the nucleus or the genetic material of the male and female gametes. The process forms a diploid cellular structure called the zygote. After the formation of the zygote, the first cell division or mitosis produces the embryo which develops into an organism.

For the study of a particular drug, Marcus proposes an experiment with a particular population. Approximately 200,000 people in

Goshia [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Phrase indicates a limit to the scientific accuracy of the experiment?

Answer:

The correct answer is - a sample size of 300 people.

Explanation:

In the given research Marcus developed a drug that is already 200,000 people taking the drug, and the scientist takes sample size of only 300 people for the experiment.

The sample is very small as compared to the total population who participated in the research. A sample size of 300 people is very small compared to 200,000 people. Such a small sample size will not give the proper idea and any effective result, there would be chances to miss some aspect or effect of the drug to be missed, so, this can be the limiting factor to the experiment.
