Explain the role of a hypothesis in a scientific investigation.

Biology
1 answer:
k0ka [10]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A hypothesis is a testable proposition

used to explain scientific phenomena. It

may be based on previous observations

(a sort of educated guess) or it may

simply be a hunch. Most scientific

hypotheses are combinations of

observation and intuition. The important

thing is that the hypothesis be testable.

If the hypothesis is disproved through

testing, then it is discarded and a new

hypothesis is proposed. If the hypothesis

stands up to rigorous testing, then our

faith in the hypothesis is increased.

This system of careful, rigorous, and

unbiased testing of a hypothesis is what

characterizes the scientific method.

Hope it helps!

Which of these microbes causes "walking pneumonia"?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Walking pneumonia can be caused by the microbes <u>mycoplasma pneumoniae</u>  and <u>chlamydophila pneumoniae.</u>

Explanation:

Atypical pneumonia, commonly known as walking pneumonia, is a type of pneumonia which is not caused by a single pathogen or a single type of pathogen. The organisms that cause walking pneumonia are called atypical organisms. Therefore, disease can be caused by special bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa.

Examples of atypical organisms include: <u>chlamydophila pneumoniae</u>, chlamydophila psittaci, francisella tularensis, <u>mycoplasma pneumoniae</u>, etc.

<u>Therefore, Walking pneumonia can be caused by the microbes </u><u>mycoplasma pneumoniae</u><u>  and </u><u>chlamydophila pneumoniae</u><u>.</u>

The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 genes that act in an additive manner. The environment does not have an effect on this
Sergio [31]

Answer:

  1. What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model? 48 units of risk
  2. What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd? The individual has curly toes
  3. Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

        Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 diallelic additive genes
  • Genes A, B, C, D  
  • A dominant allele has 6 units of risk
  • A recessive allele has 2 units of risk
  • Individuals with more than 35 units of risk have curly toes
  • Individuals with 35 or fewer risk units have straight toes

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. 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.

According to this information, and knowing how each allele contributes to the risk, we can say that the minimum units of risk are 16, determined by the recessive genotype aabbccdd. Each recessive allele contributes with 2 units of risk, so (aa=4units + bb=4 units + cc=4 units + dd=4 units) =  16 units.

Each time a dominant allele is present in the genotype, it adds 6 units to the total risk.    

What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model?

48 units of risk, which corresponds to the genotype AABBCCDD. Each dominant allele contributes 6 units to the risk. There are 8 dominant alleles, so, 8x6=48 units.

What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd?

The individual has curly toes because it has a risk of 36 units, which is superior to the limit of 35 units. Dominant alleles A, B, C, C, D contribute with 30 units of risk (6x5), and recessive alleles a, b, d contribute 6 units of risk (3x2).

         abCd      AabbCCDd      AabbCcDd      AabbCCdd        AabbCcdd

F1) 16 /32 = 1/2 individuals in the progeny are expected to have curly toes

     16 /32 = 1/2 individuals are expected to have straight toes

Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

To have curly toes, individuals must have more than 35 units of risk.

To have more than 35 units, individuals´ genotypes must carry at least 5 dominant alleles (which equal 30 units).
