You know that the narrow-sense heritability of milk production in Ayrshire cattle is 0.587. You perform an experiment where you

take a parental population of cattle with a mean milk production of 5.1L/hr and selectively breed only the top 10% of cows in this population, who have a mean milk production of 8.9L/hr, what is the response to selection (R) in your experiment

Answer:

Explanation:

Narrow sense heritability - h​​​​2

​​​​​​selection differential - S

Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.

Breeder's equation:

Response to selection - R = h​​​​​​2S

Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr

Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr

Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr

Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23

The almost pure cellulose obtained from the seed threads of Gossypium (cotton) is tough, fibrous, and completely insoluble in wa
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Cellulose is held by beta 1,4-glycosidic bonds making it linear while Glycogen is held by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it highly branched.

Explanation:

Cellulose and Glycogen are both carbohydrate polysaccharides formed from glucose monomers. According to the question, cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and insoluble (in water) polymer found to play a structural role in plants' cell wall while Glycogen is another polymer obtained from muscle or liver and disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution.

Although these two polysaccharides (cellulose and glycogen) are linked by (1, 4)-glycosidic bonds but the glucose monomers in CELLULOSE are linked by a beta 1,4-glycosidic, hence, making it a straight or linear polymer

GLYCOGEN, on the other hand, is linked by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it an highly branched polymer. This structure is responsible for the different physical properties of the two molecules.

The diagram represents a dihybrid cross between two pea plants heterozygous for both seed color and seed shape. mc021-1.jpg What
bija089 [108]
The correct answer is 9:3:3:1

When two homozygotes for two traits cross, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring is 9:3:3:1 ( unless other factors like epistatic interaction change the inheritance model).
In our case, we have two simple traits of seed color and seed shape that follow the Mendelian model of inheritance.

In this dihybrid cross, we have
9/16 of the offspring expressing both dominant traits ( yellow and round seeds)
3/16 expressing one dominant and one recessive trait ( yellow and wrinkled)
3/16 expressing the other dominant and recessive trait (green and round)
1/16 expressing both recessive traits ( green and wrinkled)
