There is a population of alien dogs, species Dogus Cute-ee-us, that live on the planet Woof. Their genomes and biology are amazingly identical to the genomes and biology of earth dogs. Consider a di-hybrid cross, where the first locus has alleles A and a, and second locus has alleles B and b. Each additional copy of either an A or B allele in the two-locus genotype increases the friendliness of the dog. Friendliness is measured by the Wilcoxon-Canus Amicus Diagnostic Scale (WCADS). There are five categories:

0 = Unfriendly/Loner (although not aggressive);
1 = Somewhat friendly/shy;
2 = Friendly;
3 = Very friendly;
4 = Maximally friendly.

For example, an alien dog with a two-locus genotype of Aabb would have a Somewhat friendly/shy behavior, since there is one copy of A and zero copies of B, adding to a score of 1 for the WCADS. Similarly, an alien dog with a two-locus genotype of AaBB has a Very friendly behavior (one copy of A + two copies of B = three copies total of A or B).

In the following mating: AaBb x AaBb, what is the expected ratio of Maximally friendly:Very friendly:Friendly:Somewhat friendly:Unfriendly alien dogs in the offspring, assuming the parents produce a very large litter?

a. 0:1:1:1:0
b. 1:2:3:2:1
c. 1:4:6:4:1
d. 9:3:3:1

Answers

Answer:

c. 1:4:6:4:1

Explanation:

The term quantitative heritability refers to the transmission of a phenotypic trait in which expression depends on the additive effect of a series of genes.  

Polygenic heritability occurs when a trait results from the interaction of more than one gene. And these genes can also have more than two alleles. The action of many genes and alleles can cause many different combinations that are the reason for genotypic graduation.  

Quantitative traits are those that can be measure, such as longitude, weight, eggs laid per female, among others. In the exposed example, the measurable trait is the dog´s friendliness. These characters do not group individuals by any precise and clear categories. Instead, they group individuals in many different categories that depend on how the genes were intercrossed and distributed during meiosis. The result depends on the magnitude in which each allele contributes to the final phenotype and genotype. When they interact, they create a gradation in phenotypes, according to the level of contribution.  

In the exposed example, each dominant allele contributes with a higher level of friendliness.    

aabb → 0 = Unfriendly/Loner (although not aggressive); Aabb, aaBb → 1 = Somewhat friendly/shy; AAbb, AaBb, aaBB → 2 = Friendly; AABb, aABB → 3 = Very friendly; AABB → 4 = Maximally friendly.

The graphs here show the distribution of beak depths for the ground
finches on Daphne Major, an island in the Galapagos. The bird beaks were
measured over a multi-year study, including a time period before and after
a drought. The drought reduced the supply of seeds and left most of the
seeds as thick-walled nuts that survived the drought. Analyze the data and
select the claim about natural selection and genetic diversity that is
supported by the data.

Natural selection tends to reduce genetic variation, as there was a smaller distribution
of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as there was an
increase in average beak depth after the drought.

Natural selection tends to increase genetic variation, as there were more ground
finches after the drought, and it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as there
was an increase in average beak depth after the drought.

Natural selection tends to reduce genetic variation, as there was a smaller distribution
of beak depths, but it tends to select against the most fit phenotypes, as there was an

Natural selection tends to increase genetic variation, as the average beak size
increased after the drought, but it tends to select against the most fit phenotypes, as

Answers

Answer: (A) Natural selection tend to reduce genetic variation as there was a smaller distribution of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as there was an increase in average beak depth after the drought.

Explanation: The picture below shows proof if needed. On USATP

Natural selection tend to reduce genetic variation as a smaller allocation of beak depths, but it tends to select for the most fit phenotypes, as an increase in average beak depth after the drought.

How does natural selection affect genetic variation?

Genetic variations that vary gene and protein role.

If a trait is favourable and helps the someone survive and breed, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation.

Thus, option "A" is correct by selecting for or against a specific gene.

B group would represent the decomposer organisms. Therefore, the correct option is B.

What are Decomposers?

Decomposers are organisms that convert decaying organic matter into more basic components. They are an important component of the nutrition cycle because they convert complex chemical substances, such as nitrogen and carbon, into direct nutrients that can be absorbed by plants and other living things.

Some species of bacteria, fungi and insects are specialized decomposers. These organisms are essential to maintaining healthy soil because they aid in the recycling of nutrients and the breakdown of organic matter, which would otherwise build up and cause nutrient imbalances. Decomposers, which break down dead organisms and aid in the containment of pathogens, may be important in disease prevention.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Move the bonfire to the left side of the sand. Observe how the smoke from the bonfire moves"" Dose anyone know how to get past this?

Answers

Fire requires three things heat, fuel, and oxygen. The heat source is a match. The firewood burns and provides its own heat to keep it burning.  Fire needs oxygen, which can be obtained from fresh air. Air gets hot and denser.

When fire burns, heat transfers kinetic energy to the molecules. As the kinetic energy increases, there are more collisions between molecules. The hot air becomes less dense. As less dense than the cold air around it, the hot air rises and carries the smoke with it. Therefore, the smoke moves away with the wind.

Explanation:

bed load describes particles in a flowing liquid that is transported along the stream bed

A bed load includes large and small particles are found mixed in a fast-moving stream. The correct option is D.

What is a bed load?

The descriptor bed load or bedload refers to particulate in a flowing fluid basically water that are carried anywhere along stream bed. Bed load works in tandem with suspended load and wash load.

Conventionally, parameters of bedload have been taken by placing samplers in contact with the bed and permitting the sediment transferred as bedload to accrue (or be trapped) inside the sampler for a certain amount of time before raising the sampler to the surface and emptying the material.

Once the critical boundary shear stress is exceeded, coarser grained material tends to move in intermittent contact with the bed.

This movement, known colloquially as "bedload transport,"

Thus, the correct option is D.

Answers

Answer:

D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced

Explanation:

Ecological succession is a process that occurs when a community is being established or replaced.

It shows the change in community over time, focusing on the types of plants and the maturity of plants that are in the community.

Primary and secondary succession are the two types of succession. Primary succession shows the process of change in the establishment of a community. Secondary succession shows the change when a community is being replaced.

So, the correct answer is D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced
