It has been proposed that the presence of black markings on the throat of kung fu geckos is coded by a dominant allele (B) and t

hat the absence of such markings is coded by a recessive allele (b). To test this idea, heterozygous individuals are crossed (Bb x Bb) producing 500 offspring of which 350 have black markings and 150 don’t have black markings. Based on a punnett square, the expected phenotypic ratio for black markings to no black markings is 3:1.
Required:
Write down the correct statistical approach to test if the data is consistent with the expected 3:1 ratio.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The correct statistical approach to test if the data is consistent with the expected 3:1 ratio would be the Chi square.

Chi-square = \frac{(O - E)^2}{E} where <em>O = observed frequency and E = Expected frequency. In this case:</em>

     Phenotype                 O                   E                          Chi square

  • Blacks                       350      3/4 x 500 = 375             \frac{(350-375)^2}{375} = 1.67
  • Non blacks                150       1/4 x 500 = 125             \frac{(150-125)^2}{125} = 5

Total Chi square = 1.67 + 5 = 6.67

Degree of freedom = 1

Tabulated Chi square = 3.841

<em>Since the calculated Chi-square is more than the tabulated value, the null hypothesis is rejected and we conclude that the data is not consistent with the expected 3:1 ratio. </em>

What structure is required for an eukaryotic organism to be classified as an autotroph?
lara [203]

Answer:

Chloroplast

Explanation:

This organelle in cells indicates that an organism can harness energy from the sun and other abiotic factors like carbon dioxide to make their own ‘food’. Chroloplasts have chlorophyl piments that contains photosystems centers that harness energy from the sun for photosynthesis. This light energy from the sun is captured and transferred in chemical bonds of manufactured carbohydrates which are stored in the plants. These plants transfer this energy in an ecosystem when they are consumed by higher organisms in the food chain.

When plant cells lengthen, it is called _____. stretching elongation lengthening girth
motikmotik

Answer:

The correct answer would be elongation.

Cell elongation is defined as the lengthening of a cell during differentiation of a cell. It takes place during growth of an organism or during movement in mature plants.

In plants, it is primarily regulated by light and plant hormones like auxin.

Auxin modifies the structure of the cell wall which helps the cell to elongate.

Hi can ya'll pls do my homework lol I'm too lazy. I'll give you brainliest anddd be rlly happy?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bet

Explanation:

1. The radiaton from the X-ray waves can be harmful

2. Lack of resources comes on part of both the provider as well as the patient as the provider may not necessarily have the appropriate equipment or updated technology yet to detect such conditions such as in smaller town hospitals or even the patient may not have the financial or transportation resources in order to obtain these. Another one but while being a little subjective I think could even be a lack of knowledge on both of our parts as well as healthcare providers don't always have all the answers to everything let alone the resources as mentioned earlier or even perhaps the patient doesn't know the earlier signs and symptoms of certain cancers and even more so some cancers are VERY difficult to detect, especially until its too late.

3. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white

4. An X-Ray will be neccesary, ultrasounds exam organs while x-rays examine bones
