Answer:

Genetic modifications to livestock would most likely suit to increase their longevity and marketability.

Explanation:

One of the bigger problems facing livestock is disease. Genes for bacterial resistance would likely increase the yield of livestock over time. Additionally, livestock raised in hot/cold climates could benefit from genes that adapt them better to these conditions. For example, cattle raised in hot conditions would benefit from genes that increase sweating or decrease passive water loss like through defecation.

Additionally, tailoring livestock to consumer desires would increase marketability, and therefore profit. For example, an ideal steak has a set fat content. Genetically modifying cows to maintain this fat content would increase the value of its meat.

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.

) Consider a pea plant- it has a gene controlling seed color- yellow Vs green; another gene controlling seed texture-smooth Vs w
lana [24]

Answer:

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1

Explanation:

Let the green color of the seed be depicted by "G" and the yellow color of the seed be depicted by "g"

Let the smooth the seed be depicted by "R" and wrinkled seed be depicted by "r"

F1 cross -  

true breeding smooth green plant ( RRGG) and true breeding wrinkled yellow (rrgg)

F1 gamete will be RG, RG, rg, rg

F1 offspring will be RrGg , Thus all F1 offspring will be heterozygous smooth and yellow.  

Thus,  R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

F2 Generation –  

RrGg x RrGg

Gametes will be RG, Rg, rG, rg

RG         Rg          rG           rg

RG RRGG RRGg RrGG RrGg

Rg RRGg RRgg RrGg Rrgg

rG RrGG RrGg rrGG rrGg

rg RrGg Rrgg rrGg rrgg

R is dominant over r and g is dominant over G

Genotypes are –  

RRGG - 1  (Smooth Green)

RRGg-2  (Smooth yellow)

RrGG-2  (Smooth Green)

RrGg-4  (Smooth yellow)

RRgg- 1  (smooth yellow)

Rrgg – 2  (Smooth yellow)

rrGG – 1  (wrinkled Green)

rrGg – 2  (Wrinkled yellow)

rrgg – 1  (wrinkled yellow)

Yellow smooth  - 9

Yellow wrinkle - 3

Green smooth- 3

Green Wrinkle - 1
