In a certain species of plant, the allele to produce green melons (G) is dominant over the allele to produce yellow melons (g).

A student performed a cross between a plant that produced green melons and a plant that produced yellow melons. When the student observed the next generation, the 94 seeds that were produced from the cross matured into 53 plants with green melons and 41 plants with yellow melons. Calculate the chi-squared value for the null hypothesis that the green-melon parent was heterozygous for the melon-color gene.

Answer:

4.26

Explanation:

Let the green-melon parents be Gg, then we expect the cross with the yellow-melon plant gg so as to produce 50% Gg and other 50% of gg offspring. What we observed was that 53 green and a 41 yellow. Based on the total number of 94 offspring , we expected half and a half ratios to be 47 of each color.

                                Observed(o)   Expected(e)   (o-e)    $(o-e)^2$      $(o-e)^2/e$

Green-melon plant        53                    47               6          36             0.766

Yellow-melon plant        41                    47              -6          36             0.766

Therefore the chi-square value is 1.53 which is less than the critical value of 3.84. Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Which level of life includes all of the other levels in this list: organisms, cells, biosphere, molecules, ecosystems?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Biosphere

Explanation:

The biosphere is the part of the earth that supports life forms. It includes hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere. Various ecosystems, aquatic or terrestrial, are present in the biosphere. Biotic and abiotic components of a geographical region that interact with each other together make an ecosystem.

The biotic component of an ecosystem includes all the organisms present in it. Organisms may be unicellular or multicellular. All the organisms are made up of one or more cells. Cells are made up of various biomolecules that interact and enable cells to perform the life processes.

What would happen to the amount of
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Gravity would also double

Explanation:

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation says that the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass.  So if the size of the moon did not change and you were standing at the exact same spot on the moon and the mass of the moon doubled, the force of gravity you would experience would also be doubled.
