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>

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
NemiM [27]

Answer:The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be

used for cell functions.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by green plants to convert light energy into chemical energy that is later released to fuel the organisms' activities. ... In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to release electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas.

If limestone reacts with limestone, it can turn into which harder rock?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

If limestone reacts with limestone, it can turn into a limestone. The reason behind this formation is that, both substances have the same chemical and physical properties and molecules of limestone have a strong chemical bonds between them so it is difficult to separate them from each other.
