One species of a small birdlike animal has an extremely variable tail length, which is a highly polymorphic trait. Geneticists h

ave come to realize that there are eight separate genes for tail length per haploid genome, with each gene having two alleles. One allele for each gene (a, b, and so on) increases the length by 1 cm, whereas the other allele (a2, b2, and so on) increases it by 0.5 cm. One bird was analyzed and found to have the following genotype: a1a1b2b2c1c2d1d2e2e2f1f2g1g1h1h2. What is the length of its tail?
A) 6 cm
B) 36 cm
C) 8 cm
D) 12 cm
E) 24 cm

Answer:

D. 12cm

Explanation:

there are 8 A1, C1 and so on alleles there, this will be 8 cm and there are about 8 a2 and so on alleles,  this will be 4cm.

8 + 4 = 12cm

You were instructed to compare growth on the na and columbia cna plates. why not simply compare the organisms to each other on t
Triss [41]

Answer:

Columbia CNA agar is a type of selective medium employed in culturing gram positive cocci and distincting it from clinical and nonclinical samples made up of a combined flora. Columbia CNA SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED with general culture medium such as the Nutrient agar which provides the necessary nutrients for the growth of diverse species of organisms.

Good growth stands for the growth of organisms picked or needed to culture with the required amount of colonies on Columbia CNA. Poor or no growth infers on the NA availability for the growth of the specimen organism, it is absent in the culture as it lacks the needed amount of colonies.

In conclusion, It may look good to look for the similarities and differences of the organisms to one another on the CNA plate since the NA plate is mainly the control and is used to evaluate the growth quality of the bacteria, contrasting it to the CNA plate is of no use as its main reason would be futile.
