Darwin suggested that plants pollinated by long tongued insects would benefit by having long flowers. To measure the advantaged

of having long flowers, Johnson and Steiner (1997) experimentally shortened 68 of 140 flowers. The remaining flowers were control. One week later, 24 out of the 68 shortened flowers had received pollen, whereas 18 out of the control flowers had received pollen. Estimate the odds ratio of not receiving pollen after flower shortening, as compared to control flowers

Answer:

The possibility of not receiving pollen for shortened flowers is 64.7% and for the control group it is 75%.

Explanation:

Pollination carried out by insects help plants spread their pollens and multiply. Contrary to Darwin's suggestion, the experiment results prove that having long flowers decreases the chances of pollination by long tongued insects as it is shown in the experiment.

The odds ratio of not receiving pollen after the flower shortening can be calculated as 64.7% compared to the odds of flowers that were not shortened which have a possibility of 75% of not receiving pollen.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Ribosomes

Explanation:

This  is the organelle for regulating protein synthesis in cells.It is made up of the small and big submits. These sub units collectively ensure the process of  translation of protein my ensuing the correct  synchronisation of condoms not he smaller nit of ribosomes with the anti codons on the tRNA with the  to give a designated protein.

Therefore if there is mutation -deletion or substitution  in the codons and anti codons,.this may affect bring frame shift which affects the protein translated leading to  wrong protein formation.

Mitochondria is the organelle that gives the sperm  power to swim.Therefore the protein that  codes for mitochondrial is faulty and this affects the the tail from swimming properly.since ribosomes is the source of protein this is the correct answer

omeli [17]

Answer:

Glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, both aerobic and anaerobic.

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas other steps of aerobic respiration occur in the mitochondria.

During glycolysis, a six carbon glucose molecule is broken down into two three carbon molecules of pyruvic acid. This process yields two molecules of ATP. Two hydrogen ions and two molecules of water are also released during the process.
