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

Until the , only one-celled organisms lived on land, but during this period, plants became abundant.
Anestetic [448]

The answer is Silurian period (443 million to 416 million years ago). This was the era when life in the seas and oceans began to conquer land. This is associated with a period of warm climate, rising sea and ocean levels hence giving shallow-water grounds where reefs developed. Plants like bryophyte began to develop including the emergence of terrestrial arthropods

Neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called 5. motor neurons carry impulses from the brain
earnstyle [38]
<span>4. The neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called the Sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.

 5. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to and from the Muscles and glands. The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles, and therefore directly control all of our muscle movements. There are two types of motor neurons, those that travel from spinal cord to muscle (lower motor neurons) and those that travel between the brain and spinal cord (upper motor neurons)

6. The neuron's cell body has short, branched extensions called dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface are of the cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma (cell body). They are also covered with synapses.

7. In most animals and of different neurons are clustered in bundles called nerves Axons and dendrites. Axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the diameter of the axon, the faster it transmit information. Most neurons have only one axon, they transmit impulses from the cell body and also may or may not have a myelin covering.

8. The insulating membrane that surrounds a single axon in some neurons is called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibres called axons, the long thin projections that extend from the main body of anerve cell or neuron. It is composed of proteins and lipids. The main function is to protect and insulate these axons and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses.</span>

Q1.2. Suppose you decide to design an experiment
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is :

Independent variable: study music.

Dependent  variable: test performance.

Explanation:

Independent variable in a experiment is a variable or a factor that is manipulated or changed in a particular experiment to see its the effect on dependent variable of this change. In this case classical music is variable as it is manipulated to see if it has any effect on studying.

Dependent variable is a variable which is measured in experiment to find the result and affected by the independent variable. In this case testing the performance of subject is dependent variable as it is being measured and affected by classical music.

Thus, the correct answer is: Independent variable: study music.

Dependent  variable: test performance.

Which feature of the watson and crick model of dna structure explains its ability to function in replication and gene expression
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is reciprocity or pairing of the bases.

Explanation:

The fact that bases are reciprocal to one another (thymine and adenine, cytosine and guanine) means that the same information contained in one strand is also found in the other one. This led to the fact that the DNA molecule is the one that carries genetic information.
