Answer: Option 1) and 2) are correctly matched.

3) Trait- a genetic characteristic of the individual

4) Chromosome- thread-like molecule in the nucleus composed of DNA.

Trait is a morphological form or characteristic of an individual that is determined by gene ( segment of DNA that codes for protein that inturns determine a particular trait).

Chromosome is a thread like structure that is made up of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and carries genetic information in the form of genes.

Allele is an alternative form of a particular gene ( like t for dwarf and T fro tall plant)

You know that the narrow-sense heritability of milk production in Ayrshire cattle is 0.587. You perform an experiment where you
Paha777 [63]

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

A fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. The green allele is recessive, and is represented by q. The blue allele is domi
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

p = 0.34

Explanation:

The green allele is recessive, meaning two copies of q (qq) are required to be green. Conversely, animals that are either pp or pq will be blue.

If 44 organisms are green, that means 44 are qq.

For genotype frequencies, the equation is:

homozygous dominant genotype + heterozygous + homozygous recessive = 100%

Which is denoted as

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

We know that q² = 44/100 = 0.44

To work out q, we can do \sqrt{0.44} = 0.66

For allele frequencies, the total must add up to 100%, so

p + q =1

We know that q= 0.66

So p = 0.34, because 0.66 + 0.34 = 1

Quiz: sensation and perception select the best answer to each question. our perception of the brightness of a color is affected
zmey [24]

Our perception of the brightness of a color is affected mainly by: the amplitude of light waves.

Night and peripheral vision depend mainly on rods, while daylight and acute vision depend mainly on cones.

The amount of light entering the eye is regulated by changes in the size of the pupil.

If you project a red, a green, and a blue light into space, the point at which the three lights cross will lead to the perception of white light.

eric has been wearing red welding goggles for the past 30 minutes. Based on the opponent-process theory of color vision, when Eric takes off the red goggles, he should expect that objects will temporarily appear to be green.
