18. How has the use of herbicides affected agricultural productivity?

Biology
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. Fewer pesticides are needed because of parasitoids.

Explanation:

Herbicides are chemicals utilized to manage or command unwanted vegetation. Herbicide employment happens most commonly in row-crop cultivation, where they are employed before or throughout seeding to maximize yield productivity by decreasing other vegetation.  Yields have improved considerably, and, in association with tillage, herbicide use decreases erosion, fuel usage, greenhouse gas discharges, and nutrient run-off, and preserves water.

The frequency of autosomal alleles K and k in a large population of snails is 0.6 and 0.4. What is the approximate genotypic fre
Flura [38]

Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The frequency of alleles K and k in population are 0.6 and 0.4. The inbreeding coefficient is 0.3.

The heterozygote frequency can be calculated by the formula:

F = \frac{2Kk-H}{2Kk}

Here, K = 0.6, k= 0.4, F = 0.3 and H = approximate genotypic frequency of heterozygote Kk.

Put the values in the above formula

0.3 = \frac{2\times2\times0.6\times0.4-H}{2\times0.6\times0.4}

H = 0.36 ≈ 0.34.

Thus, the approximate genotypic frequency of the heterozygote Kk is 0.34.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

erastova [34]

Complete question:

Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.

A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.

Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).

Answer:

The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
  • Man with type A blood  x  Woman with type B blood
  • Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd

If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: <u>The spine</u>

Explanation:

In the study of animal anatomy,a  landmark is a major point on the body that has biological significance. An anatomical landmark is a biologically-meaningful point in an organism.;these landmarks are used for the definition of corresponding anatomical points within species.

Posterior, describes a region that is at the back of the body.

evablogger [386]

The border between the transparent edge of the cornea and the white of the fibrous sclera is the limbus. The limbus contains clusters of limbal stem cells that help to maintain the corneal epithelium and to regulate corneal transparency and vision throughout life. The limbus also acts as a boundary that protects the conjunctiva and its blood vessels.
