Answer:

Over the ages the tendency of crop improvement efforts has been to select varieties with traits that give the highest return, largely by concentrating on genetic strains that combine the most desirable traits. The resulting homogeneity and uniformity can offer substantial advantages in both the quantity and quality of crop harvested, but this same genetic homogeneity can also reflect greater susceptibility or pathogens. Thus it appears the more that agricultural selection disturbs the natural balance in favor of variety uniformity over large areas, the more vulnerable such varieties are to losses from epidemics. The increased risks presented by genetic selection and the increased cultivation of only a few selected cultivars are easily perceived. Chapters 1 and 2 of this reports focus on crop vulnerability, because it is a broadly recognized problem. The issue of genetic vulnerability, however, is only one of several important problems affecting the management of global genetic resources.

The information in the table shows the possible genotypes resulting from the mating of two heterozygotes aadd. the allele a code
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Admitting that the "a" is a capital A for normal pigmentation and "d" is a capital D for dimpled chin, meaning that these are the dominant traits, the fraction expected to be albino with a non-dimpled chin is of 1/16.
When two heterozygous are crossed and two characteristics are being analysed, the offspring quantity that will possess the two recessive traits can be represented by 1/16. This is easily confirmed when a Punnett square is made. Considering that both parents were heterozygous, on both sides of the crossing in the Punnett square, you would have the following alleles' combination: AD, Ad, aD, and ad. The offspring that would be homozygous recessive (aadd) would correspond to only 1/16.

Match each interaction with its example.
Sati [7]

Answer:

1. Parasitism

2. Mutualism

3. Competition

4. Commensalism

Explanation:

The given are all different ecological relationships. These relationships how the members of the ecosystem interact with each other.

Parasitism is a relationship where one organism is harmed and the other one benefits. However, parasitism is specifically referring to a relationship where one lives inside the other organism, causing it harm by directly feeding off them or depriving it from getting nutrients.

Mutualism is a relationship were both organisms benefit from the relationship. In the example, the aphids provide protection for the ants while the ants provide food to the aphids (honey dew). Another example of a mutualistic relationship would be the tickbird and the rhino. The rhino benefits because the tickbird eats the ticks of the rhino, and in return, the tickbird is fed.

Competition is a relationship between organisms that compete for resources. In the case of your question the two grasses are competing against each other for the nutrients and water. Animals also share this type of relationship, especially when those that prey on the same animals for food.

Commensalism is a relationship between organisms where one benefits and the other does not benefit, but is NOT harmed. A good example would be the remora and sharks. Remoras are fish that swim with sharks. They swim beneath the sharks fins. The sharks provides them protection from other predators and remoras benefit because they get to eat scraps of the sharks food as well.
