Seed size in a plant is a polygenic characteristic. A grower crosses two pure-breeding varieties of the plant and measures seed

size in the F1 progeny. She then backcrosses the F1 plants to one of the parental varieties and measures seed size in the backcross progeny. The grower finds that seed size in the backcross progeny has a higher variance that does seed size in the F1 progeny. Explain why the backcross progeny are more variable.

Answer:

The F1 progeny is completely heterozygous for the <em>loci</em> of interest since they were obtained by mating between two pure-breeding plant lines. In the next generation, the backcross progeny will have homo-zygous individuals and therefore they will be more variable, resulting from meiosis in F1 hybrids

Explanation:

An F1 resulting from the cross between two pure-breeding plant lines will produce all hybrid individuals, all of them genetically (and phenotypically) identical. Meiosis in F1 hybrids is well known to produce homo-zygous genotypes and thus increases genetic diversity in progeny. For instance, for a single <em>locus</em>, the expected ratio of genotypes obtained from crossing two heterozygous parents is 1:2:1, i.e., one homo-zigous dominant individual, two heterozygous individuals (genetically identical to the parents) and one homo-zygous recessive individual; while the expected phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (i.e., 3 dominant expressing: 1 recessive expressing​).

Discuss and differentiate between the 3 types of store Management in Centralia​
Margaret [11]

Difference # Open Store System:

1. There is no specific storage area. Stores are maintained in the form of Suitable/convenient locations.

2. Every individual has access to anystorage facility.

3. After the receipt of the material it is delivered to respective department to expedite the production activity.

4. Chances of Pilferage high.5. Less emphasis on accounting control of the material.

Difference # Closed Store System:

1. All materials are stored in a closed/controlled area.2. No other person than the stores personnel is permitted in the area.

Materials can leave or enter the storage area only by authorised documents.

4. Maximum Physical Security.

5. Tight accounting control of inventory material.

Which muscle of the quadriceps femoris originates on the highlighted structure?
DENIUS [597]
Because there is no indication of what's the highlighted structure I'm going to tell you where all the four muscles of the quadriceps femoris originate from.
The vastus lateralis originates on the greater trochanter and the lateral lip of linea aspera. The vastus intermedius originates on the lateral and anterior surfaces of the femur's body. The vastus medialis originates on the medial lip of the linea aspera and the intertrochanteric line. R<span>ectus femoris originates, </span>superior to the acetabulum, on <span>the ilium.</span>

The primary effect of aging on all body systems is a. senility. b. programmed senescence. c. decreased functional reserve. d. di
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

C) decreased functional reserve

Explanation:

Ageing is a biological process which leads to the loss of function of the tissue and cells of the organism.

The biological ageing is determined genetically and can be correlated with the chronological ageing. The ageing is also influenced by the environmental factors which could interfere with the physiology, anatomy and morphology of the organisms.

The cell division cycle gets arrested to prevent the proliferation of these damaged cells and to remove the harmful factors from the body. This leads to the loss of function of the cells and tissues.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
