What advantage did the development of bipedalism most likely confer to early hominids?.

Biology

myrzilka [38]2 years ago

Answer:

It has been suggested that bipedalism was selected for because it made it easier to see long distances when moving over areas covered with tall grasses. This would have been a useful advantage in scavenging for food and watching for big cats and other predators in open environments.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.

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 = Xs - X₀

  • Heritability in the narrow-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 or lost 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.

<u>Available data:  </u>

  • trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
  • the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
  • Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
  • the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.

  • We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁

X₁ = R + X₀

We already know that X₀ = 100 days,  

Now we need to calculate R.  

  • R = h²SD

We know that h² = 0.2,  

Now we need to calculate SD

  • SD = Xs - X₀

Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time

X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time

SD = Xs - X₀  

SD = 90 - 100  

SD = - 10 days

Knowing this, we can calculate R

  • R = h²SD

o h² = 0.2  

o SD = - 10

R = 0.2 x (-10)

R = - 2

  • Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value

X₁ = R + X₀

X₁ = - 2 + 100

X₁ = 98

Basic body color for horses is influenced by several genes, one of which has several different alleles. Two of these alleles— th
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<h2>No,</h2><h2>Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute</h2>

Explanation:

 As given:

The chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) alleles show incomplete dominance, means that both the alleles in heterozygous condition show their effect. So the heterozygous show the phenotype which is intermediate of both the parents, here a horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino.

 There is in fact, no particular allele present for palomino, this phenotype only results due  to having two  different alleles for a gene. So, palominos can never be pure-breeding because they can never be  homozygous.

Let P1 chestnut and P2  dilute,

Palomino is P1P2

The Punnett’s  Square for palomino mated to palomino:

P1P2×  P1P2

Gametes are: parent-1 P1 and  P2 , parent-2:  P 1  and P2

Progeny are:  P1P1,      P1P 2,    P 2 P1,    P2 P2

Genotypic Ratio: 1 P1P 1  : 2 P1P 2  : 1 P2P 2

Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute
