Researchers can genetically select lettuce crops to cultivate plants that are pest-resistant. One of the concerns of genetically

selected crops is that some traits such as tough leaves for pest resistance may affect a suitable taste and texture desired by humans for eating. What question could be asked to begin this investigation by looking at a measurable dependent variable?
a.What is the effect of crop selection for pest resistance on the taste and texture most preferred for consumption by humans?

b.What is the effect of crop selection for pest resistance on the distribution of leaf size in a population of plants?

c.What is the effect of crop selection for pest resistance on the sale of green salad in grocery stores?

or d.What is the effect of crop selection for pest resistance on the taste and texture most preferred for consumption by grasshoppers?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

Biological and environmental influences that are similar for individuals in a particular age group, regardless of where they are
Flauer [41]

Answer:

age-graded

Explanation:

Age-graded influences are biological and environmental events that influence the dynamic interaction between an individual and their environment at certain ages of the individual’s course of life. They are events that are expected to occur in a particular setting based on chronological age. For example, depending on the cultural settings of an individual, an individual is expected to graduate high school at a certain age, or get married at a certain age. Another example is puberty and menopause which are biological influences that are age-graded.

What combinations of alleles could result from a crossover between BD and bd chromosomes?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Bb, Db , Bd and Dd

Explanation:

When a cross between two parents (having certain trait) is carried out , they share their alleles with each other to produce offspring with new traits. These offspring have gentically different allele combination as compared to their parents. A  genetic cross can be represented by a punnet square (as given below)

The cross between two parents with genotype "BD" and "bd" will result into the following offspring -

B D

b Bb Db

d Bd Dd

In hummingbirds feather color is incompletely dominant. A rather large population of hummingbirds has 396 red-sided individuals
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) Frequency of the R allele: [(396 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1049 / 2420 = 0.433

b) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2420 = 0.567

c) Frequency of the R allele: [(196 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 649 / 2020 = 0.321

d) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2020 = 0.679

e) migration is gene flow  

Explanation:

Gene flow (also referred to as gene migration) is the movement of genes that acts to change allele frequencies in local populations by transferring genetic material from one population to another. Gene flow may be caused either by the movement of organisms that reproduce in new populations (migration), or by the movement of gametes (for example, pollen dispersal in plants).

When enzymes are elongating (building) a newly synthesized dna strand in pcr, new nucleotides are being added to the ____ of the
Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is c. 3 ' hydroxyl of deoxyribose.  
<span>
During the DNA synthesis via PCR, polymerization occurs in 5’-3’ direction. This means that enzyme DNA polymerase which synthesizes a new DNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand (3’-<span>5’ direction). 5’ phosphate group of the free nucleotides which are added is attached to the 3'-hydroxyl group at the end of the elongating DNA strand.</span></span>
