Answer:

1)

  • <em>Alienus quadlegicus</em>:  Mouth opened and no arms
  • <em>Alienus hairicus: </em>Mouth opened,<em> </em>hairy
  • <em>Alienus tritoothicus: </em>Mouth opened, not hairy
  • <em>Alienus stripicus: </em>Mouth not opened, horns
  • <em>Alienus bloblicus:  </em>Mouth not opened, No legs
  • <em>Alienus fuzzicus: </em>Mouth not opened, Legs

2) Genus <em>Alienus</em>

3) Morphological characteristics of aliens are used to identify them and to name them.

Explanation:

1) The dichotomous keys give you information about the groups that are being differentiated to correctly identify them. All you need to do is follow the description of the organisms and the numbers where each description drives you. If you observed correctly the organism, you will reach the scientific name, or genus, or any other taxonomic group you are looking for.

2) Taxonomy is the study of different organisms, their classification into categories according to their morphological and molecular characteristics and their evolutionary relationships. A binomial name is assigned to each organism, composed of a genus and the epithet.  

Among all the categories where organisms are classified, we can find the <em>genus</em>, which includes many species that share some common characteristics that are used to group them together.  

In this example, <em>Alienus</em> is the genus of all these aliens species.

3) Morphological characteristics of aliens are used to identify them and to name them.

  • <em>Alienus quadlegicus</em>:  Four-legged alien
  • <em>Alienus hairicus: </em>Hairy alien.
  • <em>Alienus tritoothicus: </em>Alien with three teeth
  • <em>Alienus stripicus:</em> Alien with striped horns
  • <em>Alienus bloblicus:  </em>Alien with no shape. Shapeless mass
  • <em>Alienus fuzzicus: </em>Short fine-haired alien.

Kruka [31]
The answer is 12.5%.
Each gram of protein has four calories. Therefore, 50 grams of protein contain 200 calories. In order to find the percentage of total energy intake that comes from protein, we need to do the division: 200/1600 * 100 = 12.5. Protein is needed for body growth and maintenance and energy.

Given the following cross TtYyRr x TtyyRr (T = tall; t = short Y = yellow; y = green R = round; r = wrinkled), what proportion o
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

3/32 ttyyR-  

Explanation:

Cross: Tall, Yellow, Rounded individuals with a tall, green, rounded individual

Parentals) TtYyRr      x      TtyyRr      

Gametes) TYR, TyR, TYr, Tyr, tYR, tyR, tYr, tyr (Parent one)

                 TyR, TyR, Tyr, Tyr, tyR, tyR, tyr, tyr (Parent two)

We need to know what proportion of offspring is expected to be short plants with round, green seeds. So we need to identify the gametes for these traits. The genotypes are:

  • Shot → tt
  • Round → RR or Rr
  • Green → yy

⇒ Parent one can provide gametes tyR and tyr

⇒ Parent two can provide gametes tyR and tyr

(1/8 tyR x 2/8 tyR) + (1/8 tyR x 2/8 tyr) + (1/8 tyr x 2/8 tyR) =

2/64 ttyyRR + 2/64 ttyyRr + 2/64 ttyyRr =

1/32 ttyyRR + 2/32 ttyyRr =

3/32 ttyyR-

In a diploid species of plant, the genes for plant height and fruit shape are syntenic and separated by 18 m.u. Allele D produce
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

C)Parental: 41% Dr, 41% dR; recombinant: 9% DR, 9% dr.

Explanation:

The notation Dr/dR for genotypes means that one homologous chromosome has the alleles Dr and the other homologous chromosome has the alleles dR.

The heterozygous plant  Dr/dR will produce 4 types of gametes: two identical to the chromosmes the individual has in its somatic cells (called parental), and two gametes which will be a mix of the alleles in the homologous chromosomes (called recombinant).

  • Dr: parental
  • dR: parental
  • DR: recombinant
  • dr: recombinant

To calculate the frequency of each type of gamete, we must use the formula:

Distance (map units) / 100 = frequency of recombination.

18 mu / 100 = 0.18.

The total frequency of recombination between the genes D and R is 0.18, but every time crossing over happens, two recombinant gametes are generated. Therefore, each recombinant gamete will have a frequency of 0.18/2=0.09 = 9%.

The frequency of parental gametes will be:

1 - frequency of recombinant gametes

1 - 0.18 = 0.82

But there are 2 parental gametes, so each of them will have a frequency of 0.82/2=0.41 = 41%.
