Focus on the evolution of horn size in the Bighorn sheep population from 1950 to present. What would you predict would happen if

hunting were discontinued for bighorn sheep in a large population?
a) Genotype frequency of H2H2 and H1H2 would increase.
b) We would only see genetic drift, but not evolution by natural selection on horn size.
c) There would be a new mutation for large horns because the females would prefer to mate with males with large horns.
d) There would be a large amount of gene flow between the population where hunting was not allowed and nearby populations where hunting was still allowed.
e) Over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency.

Answer:

The correct option is "Over time, we could see a rise in the H1 allele frequency"

Explanation:

Normally, bighorn sheep populace had a higher recurrence of individual with bigger horns because of sexual choice. Nonetheless, later on, illicit trophy chasing diminished the quantity of bighorn sheep with huge horns as bigger horn yields higher money related advantages. Development implies that a change in allelic frequencies has occurred.  On the off chance that chasing isn't permitted, on the other hand we can anticipate an ascent in the recurrence of sheep's with huge horns (encoded by H1 allele) because of sexual determination (guys with bigger horns can discover female mates and leave offsprings).

Answer:

The correct answer is option e) "Over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency".

Explanation:

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species that is a very attractive for hunters because of its long horns. This negative human influence has make that bighorn sheep with long horns struggle to survive and reproduce. Horn size in bighorn sheep is determined primarly by a gene called HRN, which has two alleles H1 (for long horns) and H2 (for smaller horns). if hunting were discontinued for bighorn sheep in a large population we can predict that over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency, because in this population bighorn sheep with long horns will have better chances of surviving.

During sexual reproduction, two gametes merge to create a zygote that is a genetic mix of its two parents. For each statement, i
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.

2.  Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.

3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.

4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.

5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.

Three physical forces are involved in glomerular filtration: glomerular capillary blood pressure, plasma-colloid osmotic pressur
Elodia [21]

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

Glomerular filtrate is formed by the difference in force of hydrostatic and osmotic pressure. This physical force involves:

Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure: This includes the pressure that develops in the Bowman's capsule against the fluid to be filtrated expelled out by the glomerulus.

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure: The glomerulus is the main site of production of filtrate. It is higher than the average blood capillary hydrostatic pressure. It allows the water and solute molecules to be filtrated out of the plasma membrane.

Colloid osmotic pressure: The osmotic pressure which is generated by the large molecules is the colloid osmotic pressure. It is created by the plasma proteins. This pressure draws water from the glomerulus.
