In a population of tomato plants mean fruit weight is 60 g and narrow-sense heritability (or realized heritability - h2) is 0.3.

Predict the results of artificial selection (the mean weight of the progeny) if tomato plants whose fruit averaged 80 g were selected from the original population and interbred.

Answer:

The mean weight of the progeny is 66 grams

Explanation:

Given -

Mean fruit weight of tomato plant (M1) = 60 g

Narrow sense heritability (h2) = 0.3 g

Mean weight of tomato plant selected for artificial selection (M0) = 80 g

h_2 = \frac{M_2 - M_1}{M_0 - M_1}

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

0.3 = \frac{M_2 - 60}{80 -60} \\0.3 = \frac{M_2 -60}{20} \\6 = M_2 -60\\M_2 = 6 + 60\\M_2 = 66

The mean weight of the progeny is 66 grams

What is systematics and why is it a less arbitrary and more natural approach to categorizing living organisms?
klio [65]
Systematics is the study of the units of biodiversity. Systematics differs from ecology in that the latter is concerned with the interactions of individuals (and therefore species) in a particular time.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals because of the differences in the phenotypic characteristics. It supports the fact that those organisms, which have phenotypic characteristic favorable to survive in the changing environment as compared to other organisms, and these traits will also be passed to the successive generations.

In the given situation, the hummingbirds those have adapted according to the needs, that is deriving nectar from either from short and long tubes nectar. Therefore, two phenotypic characteristics like short beak and long beaks will become dominant trait in the population of humingbirds as the intermediate beak hummingbirds will not be able to feed from either of the flowers.

Answer:

B. physical anonymity.

Explanation:

Anonymity can be explained in psychological research as a situation whereby the data collected from participants is confidential and cannot be traced to any particular individual.

Deindividuation is known to be a phenomenon in which people engage in seemingly impulsive and sometimes violent acts in situations in which they believe they cannot be personally identified.

In this case, people that are not physically present tend to be more hostile or engaged in some cruel act. This is because they know they can be seen face-to-face, and people will not know that they are the perpetrator of the act.
