) A strawberry farmer determines that the average weight of strawberries produced by plants in his garden is 2g. He selects the

10 plants that produce the largest strawberries; the average weight of strawberries among these selected plants is 6g. He interbreeds these selected plants. The progeny produce strawberries that weigh 5g. If the farmer had instead selected plants that produce an average strawberry weight of 4g, what would be the predicted weight of strawberries produced by the progeny of these selected plants

Answer:

3.5 g

Explanation:

To solve this particular question, we will use the equation

R = h² * S, where

R, is the response to selection. This response to selection is the difference between the mean of the starting population and the mean of the progeny of the selected parents.

S, the selection differential, is the difference between the mean of the starting population and the mean of the selected parents

From the above explanation, we then have.

R = 5 g - 2 g = 3 g.

S = 6 g - 2 g = 4 g.

On Substituting the values into the equation, we have

3 g = h² * (4 g)

3 g = 4gh²

h² = 3g/4g

h² = 0.75.

If the selected plants are said to average 4 g, this then mean that S would be 2 g. If S is 2 g, using the earlier stated formula,

R = 0.75(2 g) = 1.5 g.

Therefore, the predicted average weight of strawberries from the progeny plants would have to be

2 g + 1.5 g = 3.5 g.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

1. The species that can produce their food with the assistance of light energy coming from the Sun are termed as autotrophs. These species tend to produce chemical energy from light energy. Heterotrophs on the other hand refer to the species that lack the tendency of generating their food and are solely reliant upon the autotrophs for food.  

2. The phenomenon that utilizes water and carbon dioxide and produces carbohydrates within the plants is known as photosynthesis. In the process, oxygen is also produced as a byproduct. The produced oxygen is further utilized by other species in the process of cellular respiration.  

3. In the life of an organism, both oxidation and reduction perform an essential function. In the process of photosynthesis, the reduction of carbon dioxide is done and oxidation of water molecules is done. Therefore, it can be said that photosynthesis is an illustration of the oxidation-reduction reaction. Similarly, in cellular respiration, the molecules of oxygen are reduced and the molecules of glucose are oxidized, thus, it is also an illustration of an oxidation-reduction reaction.  

4. In the light reaction phase of photosynthesis, the production of ATP, that is, the source of energy is done. Further in plants, the utilization of ATP is done to fix carbon dioxide within the glucose. In the process of cellular respiration, the energy within the carbohydrates is utilized to generate ATP at the time of the electron transport chain.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Three-parent baby, human offspring produced from the genetic material of one man and two women through the use of assisted reproductive technologies, specifically mitochondrial manipulation (or replacement) technologies and three-person in vitro fertilization (IVF). In general, the reproductive technologies used to produce three-parent babies focus on replacing or otherwise reducing the effects of mutations that occur in the DNA of cellular organelles known as mitochondria, which reside in the cell cytoplasm. The various approaches could help women to overcome infertility and could prevent the transmission to their offspring of potentially debilitating mitochondrial diseases.

dexar [7]
 Vision is the least developed of a newborn baby's senses. <span>The visual capacity of the baby develops progressively in the first 8 months. From then on, the baby's vision will be as good as that of the adult. Although at birth, the eyes of the newborn have the physical ability to see without problems, your brain is not yet ready to process all that information; that's why he sees everything blurred. With the development of the brain, your visual ability improves.</span>

How many bacteria cells are produced at time T4 ?
Arada [10]

Answer:

256.

Explanation:

If a bacterium divides once in every half an hour, it means it will double in half an hour. Hence a number of the bacterium after half an hour will be 1×2=2. After one hour the number of bacterium will be 2×2=4. Similarly, it one and a half hours it will be 4×2=8. In two hours it will be 8×2=16 in two and half hours, it will be 16×2=32. In three hours it will be 32×2=64. In three and half hours it will be 64×2=128. Hence, in 4 (four) hours the number of bacterium will be 128×2=256.
