A large population of laboratory animals has been allowed to breed randomly for a number of generations. After several generatio

ns, 25% of the animals display a recessive trait (aa), the same percentage as at the beginning of the breeding program. The rest of the animals show the dominant phenotype, with heterozygotes indistinguishable from the homozygous dominants. 12. What is the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from the fact that the frequency of the recessive trait (aa) has not changed over time? A. The population is undergoing genetic drift B. The two phenotypes are about equally adaptive under laboratory conditions C. The genotype AA is lethal D. There has been a high rate of mutation of allele A to allele a E. There has been sexual selection favoring allele a 13. What is the estimated frequency of allele A in the gene pool? A. 0.25 B. 0.50 C. 0.75

Answer:

B. 0.50

Explanation:

The estimated frequency of allele A in the gene pool is 0.50. Allele A is a variant form of gene which has different forms located at same position. Allele frequency determines common presence of genetic locus of an allele in the population. It is calculated by dividing the number of common allele that appears in the population by total number of copies of genes.

Which are potential sources of error in the experiment? Check all that apply. estimating temperature to the nearest tenth of a d
Dafna11 [192]

The correct option are as follows:

estimating temperature to the nearest tenth of a degree

estimating the mass of the sample to the nearest tenth of a gram

the position of the cups of sand and water under the heat lamp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Error is an uncertainty or the amount of deviation in a physical quantity. There may arise some deviance while measuring physical quantity due to approximation.

Instrumental, environmental, procedural, and human are some of the common sources of error. The error can be classified into two types:

i) Random error

ii) Systematic error

Types of error are determined based on the deviation in the result. While observing the temperature of something, the temperature should be noted to the nearest tenth of a degree. In similar way, the mass of the sample should be estimated to the nearest tenth of a gram.

oksian1 [2.3K]

The process of cellular respiration is achieved in plants by the process of photosynthesis. The energy from glucose is derived in this process. The steps of the cellular respiration includes the glycolysis, the kreb's cycle, and the oxidative phosphorylation. During this process, the proton concentration builds in the thylakoid space of the plant cell.

Which of the following is one of the five causes of a business cycle?
Rama09 [41]

C recession is one of the five causes of a business cycle.

1. Changes in interest rates2. Changes in house prices3. Changes in consumer and business confidence 4. The local or world economy moves into a recession5. The local or world economy moves out of a recession. 
These causes can also be seen as unstable fluctuations rather than stable cycles.

A few characteristics of the turtle are listed below: segmented body jaws and limbs no hair no placenta used during reproduction
Eddi Din [679]

The turtle is a slow animal, a terrestrial or marine reptile of the order of the Testudines in the subclass of Chelonians, characterized by a protective shell, enclosing its body and covered with scales. Sea turtles are also included.

The right answer to this question is E.

Two arguments support this answer:

First of all the turtle has no hair and has no placenta (he lay eggs so he is oviparous).

The turtle possesses jaws and limbs.

You are conducting a case control study to determine if an association exists between melanoma and indoor tanning. From a statew
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a. Odds ratio = 1.58

b.  Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning

Explanation:

For case  study                                                  

Let 'a'  represent the total population of people with melanomia = 696                                                      

Let 'b' represent the total number of people with melanomia exposed to indoor tanning  =  1107 – 696 = 411 people

For  control study

Let 'c' represent the total population = 1500

Let 'd' represent the total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning = 1500 - (0.428 * 1500)

                                                          =  1500 - 723

Total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning   = 777 people

                                                       

a. Odds ratio = (a/b) / (d/c) = (696/411) / (777/723)

                                                = 1.69 / 1.07 = 1.58

b. Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning.
