There is a population of alien dogs, species Dogus Cute-ee-us, that live on the planet Woof. Their genomes and biology are amazi

ngly identical to the genomes and biology of earth dogs. Consider a di-hybrid cross, where the first locus has alleles A and a, and second locus has alleles B and b. Each additional copy of either an A or B allele in the two-locus genotype increases the friendliness of the dog. Friendliness is measured by the Wilcoxon-Canus Amicus Diagnostic Scale (WCADS). There are five categories:
0 = Unfriendly/Loner (although not aggressive);
1 = Somewhat friendly/shy;
2 = Friendly;
3 = Very friendly;
4 = Maximally friendly.

For example, an alien dog with a two-locus genotype of Aabb would have a Somewhat friendly/shy behavior, since there is one copy of A and zero copies of B, adding to a score of 1 for the WCADS. Similarly, an alien dog with a two-locus genotype of AaBB has a Very friendly behavior (one copy of A + two copies of B = three copies total of A or B).

In the following mating: AaBb x AaBb, what is the expected ratio of Maximally friendly:Very friendly:Friendly:Somewhat friendly:Unfriendly alien dogs in the offspring, assuming the parents produce a very large litter?

a. 0:1:1:1:0
b. 1:2:3:2:1
c. 1:4:6:4:1
d. 9:3:3:1

Answer:

c. 1:4:6:4:1

Explanation:

The term quantitative heritability refers to the transmission of a phenotypic trait in which expression depends on the additive effect of a series of genes.  

Polygenic heritability occurs when a trait results from the interaction of more than one gene. And these genes can also have more than two alleles. The action of many genes and alleles can cause many different combinations that are the reason for genotypic graduation.  

Quantitative traits are those that can be measure, such as longitude, weight, eggs laid per female, among others. In the exposed example, the measurable trait is the dog´s friendliness. These characters do not group individuals by any precise and clear categories. Instead, they group individuals in many different categories that depend on how the genes were intercrossed and distributed during meiosis. The result depends on the magnitude in which each allele contributes to the final phenotype and genotype. When they interact, they create a gradation in phenotypes, according to the level of contribution.  

In the exposed example, each dominant allele contributes with a higher level of friendliness.    

  • aabb → 0 = Unfriendly/Loner (although not aggressive);
  • Aabb, aaBb → 1 = Somewhat friendly/shy;
  • AAbb, AaBb, aaBB → 2 = Friendly;
  • AABb, aABB → 3 = Very friendly;
  • AABB → 4 = Maximally friendly.

Cross: between two dihybrid friendly dogs

Parentals) AaBb    x    AaBb

Gametes) AB, Ab, aB, ab

                AB, Ab, aB, ab

Punnett square)   AB       Ab       aB       ab

                   AB   AABB   AABb  AaBB  AaBb

                    Ab   AABb    AAbb  AaBb  Aabb

                    aB   AaBB    AaBb   aaBB   aaBb

                    ab    AaBb    Aabb   aaBb   aabb

F1) 1/16 AABB ⇒ 4 = Maximally friendly

    4/16 AABb + AaBB ⇒ 3 = Very friendly

    6/16 AAbb + AaBb + aaBB ⇒ 2 = Friendly

    4/16 Aabb + aaBb ⇒ 1 = Somewhat friendly/shy

    1/16 aabb ⇒ 0 = Unfriendly/Loner

The Phenotypic ratio is 1:4:6:4:1

Explain why extended exercise is considered to be "healthy"
sp2606 [1]
Many physical disorders that occur in humans are attributed to the styles of living and general eating habits. Conditions such as diabetes, depression, dymentia and even some cancers are led by bad eating habits. A friend once asked me: Now that I do not want to become obesse but want to be muscular, what will I do since I have to gain mass but I don't want to overfeed? My answer was so simple. EXERCISE
Exercise can be in many forms. The most common modes of exercise are gym and athletics. If you don't do regular exercise, your body does not find a chance to get rid of the many wastes produced by different metabolic processes. Some of these products are toxic and they lead to bad effects in the body. The effect is getting lifestyle diseases.
Exercise plays a key role in boosting your memory. During and after exercise, blood becomes more oxygenated and the supply of oxygenated blood to the brain is increased. This ensures there is renewed strength in the brain parts e.g. hypothalamous and hence boosting thinking ability.
We can not overlook the fact that exercise is fun. When exercising, you are happy and happiness makes you stay healthy.

Describe how sandstone, a sedimentary rock, may become a metamorphic rock. Enter your answer in the space provided. HELP 30 POIN
pshichka [43]

Explanation:

When sandstone is overlaid by layers and layers of sediment, it becomes subject to enormous pressure and temperature beneath the layers and its grain structure begins to change. The force of compactness causes grain structure and size to reform. This is called metamophism., The sandstone becomes a new rock called quartzite.  The two rocks will have different properties. Quartzite will have larger crystals and will be hard and smooth while sandstone will be coarse and soft.
