A completely-plated stickleback from a marine population was mated to a low-plated stickleback from a freshwater population. The

resulting F1 hybrids all displayed a completely plated phenotype. When the F1 hybrids were allowed to interbreed, the resulting F2 generation included completely plated offspring and low-plated offspring in an approximate 3:1 ratio. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the results of the breeding experiments?

Complete question:

A completely-plated stickleback from a marine population was mated to a low-plated stickleback from a freshwater population. The resulting F1 hybrids all displayed a completely plated phenotype. When the F1 hybrids were allowed to interbreed, the resulting F2 generation included completely plated offspring and low-plated offspring in an approximate 3:1 ratio. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the results of the breeding experiments?

(A) Phenotypic variation in the F sub two generation suggests that armor morphology is controlled by many alleles of a single gene.  

(B) The completely-plated phenotype is controlled by a dominant allele of a single gene.  

(C) Armor loss is an acquired characteristic that is affected by one or more environmental factors.  

(D) Patterns of armor plating in stickleback populations are regulated by sex-specific signals.  

Answer:

(B) The completely-plated phenotype is controlled by a dominant allele of a single gene.  

Explanation:

In the given genetic cross, all the F1 progeny expressed a "completely plated" phenotype. This means that this phenotype is dominant. Interbreeding of F1 hybrids obtained the "completely plated" and "low plated" progeny in a 3: 1 ratio. This means that both these phenotypes are controlled by two alleles of a gene.

The F1 hybrids were heterozygous dominant for the trait and carried both recessive and dominant alleles of the gene. Segregation of these alleles during gamete formation formed 50% alleles with the dominant allele and rest 50% with the recessive allele. The random fusion of these gametes gave the F2 progeny in 3 dominant: 1 recessive ratio.

"interpret the diagram"
Pachacha [2.7K]

1. The glutamate causes an influx of ca2+ ions into the nerve cell akin to what occurs during depolarization. However, this occurs excessively without regulation (due to excessive stimulation by the glutamate) that  eventually causes nerve injury through cytotoxic edema.



2. When the ca2+ levels are lowered during stroke, then nerve cell injury would be obviated hence enabling the chances of restoration of nerve cell function.   This would happen because there would be no excess calcium ions to influx when the NMDA receptors are excessively stimulated by the glutamate molecules.

A proficient engineer can easily design skeletal structures that are more functional than those currently found in the forelimbs
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Natural selection is generally limited to modifying structures that were present in previous generations and in previous species

Explanation:

The basic idea of biological evolution is that populations and species of organisms change over time. Today, when we think of evolution, we are likely to link this idea with one specific person: the British naturalist Charles Darwin.

In the 1850s, Darwin wrote an influential and controversial book called On the Origin of Species. In it, he proposed that species evolve (or, as he put it, undergo "descent with modification"), and that all living things can trace their descent to a common ancestor.

Natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow are the mechanisms that cause changes in allele frequencies over time. When one or more of these forces are acting in a population, the population violates the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions, and evolution occurs. The Hardy-Weinberg Theorem thus provides a null model for the study of evolution, and the focus of population genetics is to understand the consequences of violating these assumptions.

New gene variants (i.e., alleles) are produced by random mutation, and over the course of many generations, natural selection may favor advantageous variants, causing them to become more common in the population.

Which of the following is the correct sequence, going from simplest to most complex, in the levels of structural organization of
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Cellular organization is one of the characteristics of life that states that each living organism is made up cell or more than one cell, that is made up by organization of various components such as chemicals like micro molecule that form the macro molecule and these chemical level structural organization is formed together to make cells and this level of organization makes the tissue which is complex to cell but simpler to organ that is makeup of various together.

The makeup of organs is necessary as organs are the structural level that individuals facilitate the function and make up the organ system that is a complex system made up of organs that are similar in their function. The organism is the most complex of all levels.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
