- Question:- 1. Brassica oleracea is the wild plant from which brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower were domesticated. Why is it important to keep many diverse seeds from the forb B. oleracea across its range? A. If our B. oleracea-derived crops are driven to extinction, we can re-domesticate them from the wild plant. B. Our crop Brassicas are much more genetically diverse than B. oleracea because of extensive breeding programs, so we need to conserve as much of B. oleracea's diversity as possible. C. The budding pattern in Brassica may be further modified to produce more productive crop plants. D. B. oleracea may have gene variants that can be incorporated into our domesticated plants to increase their environmental range or tolerance to pests. E. We may be able to domesticate another crop plant from B. oleracea.arrow_forwardQuestion 14 Friedreich's ataxia is a rare inherited disease that causes nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time. Friedreich's ataxia is caused by an insertion of several copies of a three nucleotide sequence in a gene called EXN. Which genetic testing method would be most appropriate for testing for Freidreich's ataxia?

- Question 5 You are studying a species of tree frog with skin that produces different toxins based on the genotype of the Tox locuS. Alleles E and N are codominant. Individuals homozygous for E are emetic (eating them causes vomiting), while individuals homozygous for N produce a neurotoxin. Heterozygotic frogs produce a toxin with both qualities. At the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, you collect frogs from the field site and test them in the lab. You find 93 neurotoxic frogs, 113 emetic frogs, and 12 frogs with both toxic qualities. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation, what are the expected numbers of frogs given their genotypes at the Tox locus? 45 NN, 108 NE, 65 EE B 93 NN, 12 NE, 113 EE 324 NN, 446 NE, 154 EE D) 198 N, 238 E Last saved 1. 67 minutes remaining P Type here to search Home DII PrtScn F8 F6 F7 F3 F4 F5arrow_forwardPlease help me with these 2 questions based on the graph below.
