Answer: 4 haploid (1 chromosome) cells at the end of meiosis. The original cell no longer exists.

Explanation: meiosis I produces 2 haploid cells, meiosis Ii duplicates those cells. The cell becomes 4 cells, each with 1 chromosome

There would be an increase in "Zebra" and "Gazelle" population. This is due to the fact that there wouldn't be as many lions to eat the zebras and gazelles, causing their repopulation to become more frequent.

Comparison of the excretory system of a rat, frog and human

yaroslaw [1]

In general, the function of the excretory system is, removal of nitrogen waste products from the bloodstream and transport out of the body through urine. It maintains the balance of fluids and electrolytes, control of red blood cells, regulation of blood pressure and also the formation of red bone marrow.
In humans, the excretory system is responsible for removing waste from the body. Metabolic waste is being removed from the blood and an appropriate amount of water nutrients and water and salt are being retained.
In frogs, the excretory system consists of a pair of ureters, kidney pairs, cloaca, and urinary bladder. Frogs take in liquid waste from kidney which removes wastes and then the extra water becomes urine which then it is collected in the urinary bladder through ureters.
The urinary bladder is present in ventral to return then both open into the cloaca.

A genetically heterogeneous population of rice has a mean in the number of days to maturation of 30. Selection for decreased per

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

h² = 0.6

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.

Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.

The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,

SD = X₀ - Xs

Heritability in the strict sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.

h² = R/SD

The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.

R = h²SD

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

Available data:

You are selecting rice´s decreased period of maturation.
The population of rice has a mean maturation time of 30 days → X₀
Parental selected average period to maturation is 25 days → Xs
F1 plants mature on average in 27 days → X₁
N arrow sense Heritability → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of h².

We know that h² = R/SD, so we need to get R and SD first.

R = X₁ - X₀

R = 27 - 30

R = -3

SD = Xs - X₀

SD = 25 - 30

SD = -5

Knowing this, we can calculate h²

h² = R/SD

h² = -3/-5

h² = 0.6
