The principal-agent problem could be defined by saying that it is an agent who benefits from the effort of others without having even participated in the joint effort. It is a concept that is to be linked more broadly to the problems of information asymmetry.
<span>The term moral hazard refers to a type of market failure where the existence of insurance against a certain risk increases the likelihood of the occurrence of the event causing the risk.</span>
<u>The right answer is:</u>
Principal-agent problem matches with 2
Asymmetric information matches with 3
Adverse selection matches with 4
Moral hazard matches with 1
Its dead plants and animals
Answer:
The probability of getting a mottled offspring is 0%. There is no A2 allele involved in the cross.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- The gene for petal color in a flower has incomplete dominance
- Two A1 alleles (A1A1) express black color
- Two A2 alleles (A2A2) express white color
- One of each allele (A1A2) express mottled color
In a cross between two black flowers, there is no allele A2, there are just two alleles A1. So, the cross is:
Parental) A1A1 x A1A1
Gametes) A1 A1 A1 A1
Punnet Square) A1 A1
A1 A1A1 A1A1
A1 A1A1 A1A1
F1 Phenotypes: 100% black flowers
F1 Genotype: 100% A1A1
There are 0% of probabilities of getting a mottled offspring.
Answer:
C, there is genetic variation within the population
Explanation:
Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"
A) complete dominance
B) incomplete dominance
C) codominance
D) epistasis
E) incomplete penetrance
Answer:
B) incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.
For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".
