The color distribution for a specific population of geckos is 160 blue, 50 turquoise, and 40 green. The allele for the color blu

e is represented by BB, whereas the allele for the color green is represented by BG. Both alleles demonstrate incomplete dominance. What are the genotype frequencies in the population? Calculate to at least two decimal places.

Answer:

BBBB = 0.64

BBBG = 0.20

BGBG = 0.16

Explanation:

Genotype frequency = individuals of that particular genotype / total number of individuals

Genotype frequency of blue geckos (BBBB) = 160 / ( 160 + 50 + 40 ) = 160/250 = 0.64

Genotype frequency of turquoise geckos (BBBG) = 50/250 = 0.20

Genotype frequency of green geckos (BGBG) = 40/250 = 0.16

Seasons of Change Activity Worksheet—Disappearing Marine Iguanas Case Study
baherus [9]

Answer:

1. Using the map and the minimal knowledge that Liz has at this point, propose three different hypotheses regarding the sudden high mortality of marine iguanas. Record your answers in the worksheet and post your hypotheses to the 03.01 class discussion board before proceeding to the next question.  (3 points possible)

Hypotheses One:  Iguanas are adapted to hot/warm weather, so the weather changed could have affected them.

Hypotheses Two: There was not enough shelter for the iguanas so they started disappearing.

Hypotheses Three: A new species has come close to where the iguanas live and taken them out.

2. Look at your classmates’ hypotheses on the discussion board. Choose one hypothesis that seems most likely to you. Provide the student name and hypothesis and tell what evidence you would need to support (or refute) it. (3 points possible)   Carter Spiers, Hypothesis 1. there was a lot of rain and it washed at the iguanas away. We would have to dive into the water/ ocean and find iguana bodies to be able to prove that this is true.

3. Given what you know at this point about marine iguanas and the abiotic effects of ENSO, develop two possible directions of research that Liz should pursue to understand exactly why the iguanas suffered such a high mortality. Keep in mind that you need to consider indirect effects. While environmental temperature does change metabolic rates of ectotherms, the iguanas are exposed to a wide range of temperatures as they feed and bask on the lava. Direct mortality in response to a temperature change of a couple of degrees is unlikely.  (3 points possible)

Possible Research Direction One: The climate event caused a lot more rainfall which then made it very hard for the iguanas to reach their food source.

Possible Research Direction Two: The temperatures raised very high causing the iguanas to absorb a extreme about of extra heat, which eventually made them very lazy and stopped defending their self from predators.  

4. Choose one of those directions of research and determine what data you would need to find to support your ideas.  (2 points possible)          Specific data of the extreme amounts of rainfall.

The images show two distantly related species of cactus that live in the same desert.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

These plants look so similar because of convergent evolution/analogy.

Explanation:

Analogy in evolution is the development of similar or analogous structures in distantly related species occupying the same environment. This is because the species have developed similar adaptations, over time, which enables them to survive in their environment.

Different parts of the human digestive system help to break down molecules of fat so
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Small intestine, liver, bile and lipase.

Explanation:

Digestion of fat occurs in the small intestine. Its digestion occurs with the help of bile, that is made in the liver. Bile breaks the fat into small drops that are easier for the lipase enzymes to change it. Lipase enzymes is a type of enzymes that works only on lipids and lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. These substances are absorbed by our body and used it for producing ATP for the body.
