A researcher is curious if Bt resistant bollworms are susceptible to an insecticide called DDT. Bollworms susceptible to Bt have genotype RR or Rr, whereas those resistant to Bt have genotype rr. Bollworms susceptible to DDT have genotype tt, whereas bollworms resistant to DDT have genotypes Tt or TT. In an effort to better understand how these two genes are inherited, the researcher crosses an RR tt bollworm with an rr TT bollworm to produce the F1 generation. Then, the researcher crosses the F1 generation to produce an F2 generation. What proportion of the F2 generation is resistant to both Bt and DDT

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3/16 or 18.75% portion will be resistant to both Bt and DDT.

Explanation:

It is given that bollworms that are susceptible to Bt are represented by either RR or Rr and resistance one are shown by rr genotype and bollworms that are resistant to DDT are represent TT or Tt genotype and susceptible to DDT have tt genotype.

Cross: RR tt with rr TT

Gametes: Rt and rT

F1 cross:

    RT

rT  RrTt ( susceptible Bt and resistant DDT)

F1 Cross with F1

Gametes: RT, Rt, rT and rt

cross:

             RT      Rt        rT         rt

RT       RRTT   RRTt   RrTT    RrTt

Rt        RRTt    RRtt    RrTt      RrTt

rT       RrTT    RrTt     rrTt       rrTt

rt       RrTt      Rrtt     rrTt      rrtt

The bold genotypes are the three out of 16 that are resistant to both DDT and Bt.

Where would you collect
data during an
experiment?

Answers

Answer:

Recall that data can be collected in two main ways: (1) through sample surveys or (2) through designed experiments. While sample surveys lead to observational studies, designed experiments enable researchers to control variables, leading to additional conclusions.

In mouse, genes X, Y and Z are on chromosome 2. The map of genes X, Y and Z is:

X--------20mu--------Y---------------30mu---------Z.

You cross an individual with genotype XXYYZZ to an individual with genotype xxyyzz, and F1 progeny are collected. Assume interference between regions (X-Y and Y-Z) is 40%. You then perform a cross between an F1 individual and an individual with genotype xYz/xyz. Among 1000 progeny, how many of them will be of the genotype xxyyzz?

Answers

Answer:

36 individuals xxyyzz

Explanation:

Available data:

X-Y = 20MUY-Z = 30MUCross: XXYYZZ   x    xyyzzF1= XxYyZzI = 40%2nd Cross: XxYyZz  x  xxYyzzF2 = 1000 individuals

We need to know how many individuals from the F2 are going to be xxyyzz

xxyyzz genotype is the result of a double recombinant event.

First, we need to analyze the given information:

→ Distances between genes

The genetic distance result from multiplying the recombination frequency of each region by 100 and expressing it in map units (MU). So, if we have the genetic distance we can divide it by 100 and get the recombination frequency:

Let us say that region I is the distance between X and Y. And region II is the distance between Y and Z.

GD = genetic distance

RF = Recombination frequency

GD (X-Y) = RF x 100

20MU = RF x 100

20MU/100 = RF

0.2 = RF (Region I)

GD (Y-Z) = RF x 100

30MU = RF x 100

30MU/100 = RF

0.3 = RF (Region II)      

Now we have the recombination frequency of Region I and Region II.

→ Interference    

Knowing the interference value will let us know the value of the coefficient of coincidence, which will also lead us to the number of individuals xxyyzz.

I = 40%

I = 1 - CC   ⇒ CC = coefficient of coincidence

Clearing this equation gives us the value of CC

CC = 1 - I

CC = 1 - 40% = 1 - 0.4

CC = 0.6

To calculate the coefficient of coincidence, CC, we can also use the next formula:

CC = observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

Now, we are interested in knowing the value of the observed double recombinant frequency.

Note:  

observed double recombinant frequency = total number of observed double recombinant individuals/total number of individuals expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

So, to get the value of the observed double recombinant frequency, first, we need to get the value of the expected double recombinant frequency. And we can do it because we already have the recombination frequencies in both regions.

expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II

- Recombination Frequency - RI = 0.2

- Recombination Frequency  - RII = 0.3

expected double recombinant frequency = 0.2 x 0.3

expected double recombinant frequency = 0.06 = EDRF

Now that we know the value of the CC and the expected DRF, we can get the observed double recombinant frequency.

CC = observed double recombinant frequency/expected double recombinant frequency

- CC = 0.6

- EDRF = 0.06

CC x expected double recombinant frequency = observed double recombinant frequency

0.6 x 0.06 = observed double recombinant frequency

0.036 = observed double recombinant frequency = ODRF

Finally, as this is a frequency, we need to multiply it by the total number of individuals in the F2 to get the number of observed double recombinant individuals.

- ODRF = 0.036

- N = 1000

Double recombinant individuals = 0.036 x 1000 = 36 individuals xxyyzz.

Explanation:

Both students including athletes who undertake the program can be assigned slots relating to some period the classical or athlete should report completing their practice. The slots aren't allowed to continue.

They have a structured exercise template for each person, that helps for easy student or athlete monitoring, based on their skill.

Non vascular plants are quite commin in the forests along the coast of Norther California but are relatively rare in the ecosystems around Davis in the Central Valley. What aspects of the life cycle of these plants make it difficult for them to reproduce on our area

Answers

Answer:

The Central Valley of northern California is a region where there is little water supply, while nonvascular plants cannot efficiently store water and they have primitive traits that are dependent on water for reproduction.

Explanation:

The Central Valley of northern California is characterized to have little natural precipitation/snowmelt during the dry summer months. In addition, California's climate also has extended periods of drought. On the other hand, non-vascular plants such as mosses and liverworts, are a type of plant that lacks vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), and they also lack true roots, stems, or leaves. These plants cannot efficiently absorb and store water (which fundamental for survival), and thereby the success of these plants in establishing and reproducing in the ecosystems of the Central Valley is limited to their physiological tolerance to desiccation. Moreover, non-vascular plants may also exhibit primitive traits related to their reproductive cycle (e.g., a flagellated sperm) that are dependent on water for reproduction.

solute membrane

Explanation:

Kidney is the main organ which is responsible for helping to keep the water concentration equal on each side of the cell membrane.

What is Kidney?

The kidneys are the main organs in the body which remove waste products and extra water from the blood in the form of urine and also help to keep the chemicals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium balanced in the body. The kidneys also secrete hormones which help control blood pressure and stimulate bone marrow to make red blood cells.

Kidneys maintain water concentration in the body. Kidneys maintain homeostasis through osmosis. Osmosis is the phenomenon of movement of water or fluid particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, why was it adaptive for the larger (host) cell to keep the engulfed cell alive, rather than digesting it as food select all that apply

Answers

Answer:

It provides ATP.

Explanation:

It is adaptive for the larger host cell to keep the engulfed cell alive, instead of digesting it as food because the engulfed cell provides energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the host cell. The larger host cell is able to survive in anaerobic conditions with the help of engulfed cell alive so that's why we can conclude that the larger host cell keep the engulfed cell alive instead of killing it and used as a food source.
