Primate females:

1 answer:

5 0

Primate females give birth to fewer offspring than do many other mammals. Many other mammals give birth to full litters, sometimes as many as 20 at a time, where primates typically give birth to between one and two offspring at a time, and rarely to three, without medical intervention. Mammals tend to give birth to fewer offspring than they have teats/nipples to allow for feeding.

The scientific name of an organism is made up of what two group names?

expeople1 [14]

Scientific names follow a specific set of rules. Scientists use a two-name system called a Binomial Naming System. Scientists name animals and plants using the system that describes the genus and species of the organism. The first word is the genus and the second is the species.

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Chi square ( $X^2$ ):

$X^2$ = $\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}$ where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency.

The observed frequencies for the four phenotypes are 88, 62, 62, and 81 respectively.

For the expected frequency, the phenotypes are supposed to assort in 9:3:3:1 according to Mendel ratio.

Hence, expected frequencies are calculated as:

phenotype (1) = 9/16 x 293 = 164.81

phenotype (2) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (3) = 3/16 x 293 = 54.94

phenotype (4) = 1/16 x 293 = 18.31

The $X^2$ is calculated thus:

Phenotype O E $X^2$

1 88 164.81 $\frac{(88 - 164.81)^2}{164.81}$ = 35.80

2 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

3 62 54.94 $\frac{(62 - 54.94)^2}{54.94}$ = 0.91

4 81 18.31 $\frac{(81 - 18.31)^2}{18.31}$ = 214.64

Total $X^2$ = 35.80 + 0.91 + 0.91 + 214.64 = 252.26

To the nearest tenth = 252

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 4- 1 = 3

$X^2$ tabulated = 7.815

The calculated  $X^2$  exceeds the critical value, hence, the null hypothesis is rejected. The two genes did not assort independently.

Why is it important that individuals accurately report the procedures and results from experiments

Zolol [24]

It is important since it will affect the credibility and reliability of the experiment or the said study. It is vital aspect in every research since many studies are subject to replication in order to validate and verify the said study. This repeatability will increase the impression of the study of its consistency and direct implications, having a stronger sources and results.

Research method is always used to answer every scientific inquiry and in gaining evidential data or knowledge. The scientific method has the following process or at least undergoes the process of
1. Observation
2. Hypothesis
3. Experimentation
4. Interpretation of data
5. Evaluating the data
6. Passing and recording the data
