If the dominant allele is t and the recessive allele ("non-taster") is n, than tn and tt are the genotypes of a "taster". tn is heterozygous and tt is dominant homozygous. nn is the genotype of a "non-taster" and it is recessive homozygous.
Fixation
Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, most of which are symbiotic with plants. Recently fixed ammonia is then converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria
Explanation:
Risks:
may lead to a lack of variety in plant or animal species
The nutritional value of foods can be less
Benefits:
faster than natural selection
More selective breeds / Types
A researcher is interested in screening for p-elements inserted into a region on chromosome 3. to produce new insertions, she crosses females homozygous for a miniwhite + p-element on the x chromosome with males homozygous for immobilized transposase on chromosome 2. what genotype will the f1 male flies have? (note that a "+" indicates a wild-type chromosome without the transposase locus or the p {miniwhite +} insertion. the x /y chromosomes are listed first, followed by the second
The results of Harlow's experiment were
overwhelming with an average infant monkey spending
17-18 hours per day on the
cloth mother and
less than an hour per day on the wire mother.
Harlow Harlow established the
nature of affection by experimenting on infant monkeys responses to compare the
influence of nursing from the influence of contact comfort. To study this, he compared
a wire mother who provided food, and a cloth mother who did not provide food.
The infant monkeys preferred contact comfort and spent more time with the cloth
mother than the wire mother.
