Dr. Sheffield is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating pathological gambling. Pathological gambling is defined as

being unable to resist impulses to gamble. Bothered by not having a good measure that he can give to clients to determine whether they are suffering from this condition, he creates a new measure of pathological gambling. The measure has 15 questions, and it takes 20 minutes to complete. To test his measure, Dr. Sheffield gives his measure to a group of his clients and at the same time measures how many times they have been gambling in the past month. He predicts that clients who score higher on his measure will also report gambling more times in the past month. This procedure is meant to provide evidence for which of the following?

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In a criterion validity test, the results of the test are correlated with the outcomes in future. In this study, the measures of gambling is used to depict the possible outcomes. If the clients tested on gambling measure score high, then it gives the relation of their gambling frequency in past.  

It is a predictive validity type of criterion validity test in which it is estimated that how likely the test or measure score can depict the future or past behaviour of the client.

Thus it is true

Answer:

The options

A. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability

B. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid breakdown

C. the prezygotic barrier called hybrid sterility

D. gametic isolation

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability

Explanation:

Postzygotic barrier is a mechanism that hinders reproduction after fertilization and zygote development. Hybrid inviability occurs when a mating between two organism produces a hybrid that can't strive past the embryonic stages.

In Reduced Hybrid Viability there is a lower tendency to survive for individuals whose parents possesses incompatible genetics, which may have result from sexual union of these parents from varying species.

These two frog species in this case study can be separated through the mechanism of the postzygotic barrier called hybrid inviability.

Explain why mitosis does not produce genetic variation and how meiosis leads to the production of tremendous genetic variation.
VladimirAG [237]
Mitosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis includes two distinct processes that contribute to the generation of
genetic variation: crossing over shuffles alleles on the same chromosome
into new combinations, whereas the random distribution of maternal and
paternal chromosomes shuffles alleles on different chromosomes into new
