I'm so confused with these table, how do I find the number for each one. I can do the formula but the rest im confused. Biology II. Please show me how to do it for I can practice. In a class of 20 biology students, 12 have the recessive disorder, chronic whining syndrome. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equations to determine the frequency of the recessive allele for the chronic whining disorder within the class of 20 students.
Determine whether the 2 phenotypes in this corn is a 9:7 or 13:3. Observe the red and yellow kernels (up to 100) and use this to see the ratio and determine the deviation (number of observed minus the number of expected). I am having trouble on how to exactly get this. Please help.
The variance isa. a measure of the variation around the mean.b. computed as a squared deviation.c. higher when there is less phenotypic variation.d. Both a and b are correct.
true or false (please do them ALL) 1. Heritability estimates is a portion of phenotypic variation contributed by heredity. Traits in pigs such as ovulation rate and number of piglets produced per year are highly heritable traits. 2. The formula for computing crude protein is equal to the amount of nitrogen multiplied by 6.25. This is based on the fact that ALL protein materials contain 16% nitrogen. 3. Essentiality of a nutrient depends on the factors such as species, age, health, metabolism. 4.The deficiency symptoms of Selenium may be associated or similar with vitamin E deficiency. 5. Lipids have similar elemental components as carbohydrates but contains more energy because that ratio is greater for oxygen
I'm needing help with part 1 through 3, please The data of Sugar Water and Plain Water: mean # of drops variance degrees of freedom t stat t crit (from the table) plain water 25.3 17.221 38 -4.01 2.0261 sugar water 21.3 21.256 1. Make a statement about t stat in relation to t crit. And what is the p-value? 2. Is there a statistically significant difference between the mean values (mean # of drops) of the sugar and plain water? Give your "yes" or "no" answer and the supporting evidence. 3. Hypothesis: The surface tension of plain water is higher than the surface tension of sugar water. Do these results support or refute the hypothesis about the effect of dissolving salt in water on surface tension?
A single allele gives rise to the Hbs form of hemoglobin. Individuals who are homozygous for the allele (HbS/HbS) develop sickle-cell anemia (Section 9.6). Heterozygous individuals (HbA/HbS) have few symptoms. A couple who are both heterozygous for the HbS allele plan to have children. For each of the pregnancies, state the probability that they will have a child who is: a. homozygous for the HbS allele b. homozygous for the normal allele (HbA) c. heterozygous: HbA/HbS
The equation p2+ 2pq + q2= 1 representing theHardy-Weinberg proportions examines genes withonly two alleles in a population.a. Derive a similar equation describing the equilibrium proportions of genotypes for a gene withthree alleles. [Hint: Remember that the HardyWeinberg equation can be written as the binomialexpansion (p + q)2.]b. A single gene with three alleles (IA, IB, and i) isresponsible for the ABO blood groups. Individualswith blood type A can be either IA IAor IA i;those with blood type B can be either IB IBor IB i;people with AB blood are IA IB, and type O individuals are ii. Among Armenians, the frequency of IAis0.360, the frequency of IBis 0.104, and the frequencyof i is 0.536. Calculate the frequencies of individuals in this population with the four possible bloodtypes, assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.In Problems 15–17, you will see that because matingbetween individuals within populations at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium is random, it is possible to predict…
I’m confused on how to calculate the percentage of the biology students with the free earlobe phenotype.
Is it okay to write genotypic ratio as 2:2 or it should be 1:1 Genotype: IAIB, IAi
I’m a bit confused about the probability part. Is it 25%, 0.0625% or something else? I know that getting a female is 50% and getting straight hair is 50% too.
*You are looking at the heritability of litter size at weaning in pigs (17%) *The herd average for this trait is 10 piglets per litter at weaning *When looking at an individual Sow, she has 12 piglets per litter at weaning Calculate the following: -What is the Estimated Breeding Value of the Sow -Determine the Sows Expected Progeny Difference ***Make sure to enter your answers using numbers & use decimals when necessary*** The EBV of the sow is ______________________more pigs per litter then the herd average. Therefore, the sows progeny can be expected to have ______________more pigs per litter then the herd average.
The heritability for egg weight in a group of chickens on a farm inMaine is 0.95. Are the following statements regarding this heritabilitytrue or false? If a statement is false, explain why.A. The environment in Maine has very little effect on the outcomeof this trait.B. Nearly all of the phenotypic variance for this trait in this groupof chickens is due to genetic variance.C. The trait is polygenic and likely to involve a large number ofgenes.D. Based on the observation of the heritability in the Mainechickens, it is reasonable to conclude that the heritability foregg weight in a group of chickens on a farm in Montana isalso very high.
