1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Maybe you think that snails, clams, mussels, squid, and octopods are very different. Yet, they are all in the same category of animals known as mollusks and are structurally similar. ... Mollusks usually, but not always, have a shell, which is secreted by a body wall called the mantle.

A population of raccoons is thought to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a tail-length gene. The frequency of the dominant al

larisa [96]

Answer:

No, the lack of short-tailed animals in the sample does not suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest. It probably means that individuals with short tails were not included in the sample by chance, as their expected frequency in the population is considerably low.

In fruit flies, straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive. What will the generations look like? Assume that Mend

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The P generation has straight wings and curly wings.

The F1 generation has all straight wings.

The F2 generation has straight wings and curly wings.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for wing shape in fruit flies. The allele for straight wings (S) is dominant over the allele for curly wings (s). This means that allele "S" will mask the phenotypic expression of allele "s" in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, the cross follows all Mendel's method of crossing two true breeding parents with opposite traits. Hence, the parent generation (P generation) will be between a truebreeding straight wings parent (SS) and a truebreeding curly wings parent (ss). (See attached image for full cross).

Since the straight wing allele (S) is dominant, all the F1 offsprings will possess straight wings with the genotype: Ss, which is heterozygous.

If this F1 offsprings are self-crossed i.e. Ss × Ss, four possible offsprings in the phenotypic ratio 3 straight wings : 1 curly wing will be produced in the F2 generation. The offsprings will possess the following genotypes: SS, Ss, Ss, and ss.

Offsprings SS, Ss, and Ss will all be phenotypically straight-winged

Offsprings ss will be phenotypically curly-winged.

In overall, this means that P generation has both straight and curly wings (SS and ss), F1 generation has only straight wings (Ss), F2 generation has both straight and curly wings (SS, Ss and ss).

Determine the median value for foot width for males and for females. Describe in complete sentences the method you used to deter

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the data referred to in the question

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the data referred to in the question is attached below

In order to determine the median value of any set of data, the data is first of all rearranged chronologically (ascending) and then the middle value is picked if the number of data is odd but if the number of data is even, the two middle values are added together and then divided by two to get the median.

From the data provided, the values (which are 10 in number) can be arranged as shown below (with the median values in bold)

Females: 5, 7, 7, 7.5, 7.5, 7.8, 7.8, 8, 8, 17

Males: 4.5, 7.5, 9, 9, 9.2, 9.3, 10, 10, 10.5, 13

Since the number of data is even, the two middle numbers (in bold) shall be added together and then divided to get the median as shown below

The median value for the females foot width is = 7.5 + 7.8/2 = 7.65 cm

The median value for the male foot width is = 9.2 + 9.3/2 = 9.25 cm
