You are a tomato farmer whose crops are threatened by a persistent species of beetle. Each year, you spend large sums of money f

or pesticides to protect your crops. A biotechnology company introduces a new strain of tomato plant that produces a natural pesticide, making it resistant to the beetle. By switching to this new strain, you could avoid both the beetle and the chemical pesticides traditionally needed to fight it.

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Do you switch to new plant? Why or why not?

Yes, because it would help me get rid of the beetle naturally and save cost for purchasing pesticides.

Explanation:

This question is describing the genetically modified strain of tomato plant introduced by a biotechnology company. The GM tomato plant naturally repels the beetle pest that has been threatening the tomato planted by a me, who is the farmer.

However, the farmer has been spending a huge sum of of money for pesticides to protect his crops. Hence, I would opt to switch to this new strain, so I could avoid both the beetle and the cost of chemical pesticides traditionally needed to fight it. That is, by using the Genetically Modified strain of tomato, I can naturally get rid of the beetle pest and simultaneously save the cost of procuring a control measure (pesticides).

How does polygenic inheritance differ from mendelian inheritance
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.

Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.

Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.

Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.

Hope you understood it.

External ear structure that helps to localize the direction from which sound arises
Step2247 [10]
The external ear structure is called the Pinna.

The Pinna helps to channel sound waves into the ear.

Many animals have the ability to move their pinna towards the direction of sound.

I have attached an image of a dog's ear to show you the external structure called the Pinna.

I hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have :)

A trait that occurs in 900 individuals out of a total of 1,800 individuals occurs with a probability of
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

Number of people with traits = 900

Total number of individuals= 1800

To find the probability with regards to the question, we divide the number of individuals having the traits by the total population of individuals. This will be:

= 900 / 1800

= 0.5
