1. The length of a dog's tail is an inherited trait. The allele for short tails is dominant (T) over the
allele for long tails (t). A dog breeder mates two short-tailed dogs (parents). One parent is
homozygous and the other is heterozygous for this trait (10 points).
a. Complete the Punnett square for the genetic cross described above:
Answers
Answer/Explanation:
Given==> short tail allele (T) is dominant, and long tail allele (t) is recessive.
Genotype of homozygous short-tailed dog = TT, while genotype of heterozygous short-tailed dog = TT
Required==> Punnett Square showing a genetic cross between both parents: i.e. TT X Tt
*See attached image for the Punnett Square
From the Punnett Square, 50% of the offspring of the First generation would be homozygous short-tailed, while 50% would be heterozygous short-tailed.
All the offspring would be all short-tailed as well.

Thetrophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of production at the trophic level of interest and the trophic level one position lower. If the primary producers in a particular ecosystem provide 5000 kcal/m2/yr and the primary consumers in this ecosystem produce 1000 kcal/m2/yr, what is the TLTE for these two trophic levels in this ecosystem? (
Answers
Answer:
The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is 20 % for the producer and the primary consumer.
Explanation:
The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is calculated by dividing the value of primary consumer by the value of producer and multiply by 100. The value of 1000 is divided by 5000 and multiply by 100, we get 20 % which means that when the primary consumer eat producer, only 20% of energy is transferred in the body of primary consumer while the remaining 80% energy will be lost as heat energy in the ecosystem.

Cellular respiration ________. Group of answer choices releases carbon dioxide and water results in a net consumption of energy involves a net consumption of water represents a decrease in entropy requires the green pigment chlorophyll
Answers
Answer:
Cellular respiration releases C02 and water. This process leads to production of energy as ATPs. The objective is to extract the energy trapped in glucose and other metabolites. It begins in the cytoplasm and ends in the mitochondrial of cells. Since it involves liberation of energy as a spontaneous reaction, it has a positive entropy. It does not involves the use of Chlorophyll.
C02 and water as byproducts are given out during Kreb'scycle.
Explanation:
Tetrodotoxin is a potent toxin found in a variety of organisms including the pufferfish. The toxin binds to the extracellular side of the voltage-gated Na+ channel and prevents channel opening. This leads to paralysis of muscles, including the diaphragm. Death from respiratory failure can occur after ingestion of as little as 1 mg of the toxin. How does this toxin cause paralysis? Choose one: A. The axon membranes continue to depolarize since sodium cannot leave the cell. This causes the cell to become overloaded and dysfunction. A signal is not sent to the muscle, so the muscle cannot contract. B. Sodium cannot enter and cause the membrane to depolarize. The action potential cannot be sent along the axon, so the neuron does not send a signal to the muscles. Thus the muscles are paralyzed. C. Since sodium cannot enter through its normal channel, the sodium ions flood through the potassium channels, causing an imbalance in ions. This imbalance causes too many signals to be sent to the muscle, leading to paralysis.
Answers
Answer: Option B.
Sodium cannot enter and cause the membrane to depolarize. The action potential cannot be sent along the axon, so the neuron does not send a signal to the muscles. Thus the muscles are paralyzed
Explanation:
Tetrodotoxin is a neurotoxin that is found in the liver and gonads of Marine organism. it block sodium channels and the consumption of organisms that has it can cause neurological and gastrointestinal disorder. It is produced by some infecting or symbiotic bacteria like Pseudoalteromonas, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio as well as other species found in animals.
Tetrodotoxin stop signals transmission from nerves to muscles by blocking the sodium channels and muscles in contracting for nervous stimulation. This in turn cause rapid weakening and paralysis of the muscles which include that of the respiratory tracts and can result to arrest or death.

When a population is split into smaller groups, why do these groups develop
different traits?
A. Evolutionary mechanisms work the two subgroups
independently
B. Separating the two groups decreases the chance that the two
groups will diverge.
C. Gene flow is increased in the two subgroups that are formed.
D. Traits that form in one group from evolutionary forces quickly
spread through both populations.
Answers
Answer: A. Evolutionary mechanisms work the two subgroups independently.
Explanation:
Speciation can be defined as the process by which new species develop from the pre-existing species. It occurs when the members of the same species get separated. The separated members become reproductively isolated and diverge.
The speciation of two separated members will take place individually due to the development of new traits according to the need of new habitat and other survival conditions. Thus evolutionary mechanism will work independently for the two subgroups.

In an effort to identify the influence of genetic factors on both Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes, researchers calculated concordance rates for monozygotic twins. Concordance rates of 30–50% have been found for Type I diabetes and concordance rates of 80% for Type II. For both kinds of diabetes, dizygotic concordance rates were about 15%. What does this information suggest concerning the relative effect of genetic and environmental factors for each type of diabetes?
Answers
The provided question is incomplete as it lack the correct options to answer the question correctly however the correct options are as follows:
a) Environmental factors have no role in the occurrence of either type of diabetes.
b) Type II diabetes appears to be caused by a single, unidentified gene.
c) Genetic influences exert a larger role in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes.
d) Genetic factors have little or no role in the occurrence of Type I diabetes.
e) Type II diabetes is primarily determined by non-genetic factors.
Answer:
The correct answer option C.
Explanation:
Genetic factors influence the development of the type I and type II diabetes in monozygotic twins in the study by the concordance rates of 30 -50% and 80%. In both type of diabetes the genetic influences also present but comparatively low in dizygotic.
In this study the role of genetic influences are mentioned directly where is no information about environmental influences are present. It also suggests that the influences in Type II is higher than the type II diabetes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Explanation:
Biological organization or levels of organization is defined as the hierarchy of complex biological structures present in the systems that starts with simplest structures and the complexity increase with hierarchy levels.
It organize biological structures from lowest level to the highest level, such as from atom to biosphere.
A functional group of tissues in an organism helps them to perform several activities is called an organ. for example - heart, constitute of several tissues.
A group of cells that functions similarly and have similar structure is called tissue. for example: Epithelial tissue
A living thing that carries out the processes of life is classified as organism. an organism under of the process of reproduction and give birth to other life.
The basic unit of life for all organisms is called a cell. All the organism are made up of different types of cell. for example: Clara cells found in airways of the lungs.
A group of organs that work together to perform specific activities for an organism is classified as an organ system. For example - respiratory system, it constitute of several organs such as lungs (organs), nose, , trachea, pharynx, larynx and bronchi which together performs respiratory function.
Hence, the correct matches of levels of organization that satisfy these definitions are:
1. organ
2. tissue

Consider a locus with two alleles, A1 and A2. Mutation happens at this locus, but in a way such that A1 mutates to A2 with probability u and A2 mutates to A1 with probability v. If u = v (and neither of them = 0), the equilibrium frequency of the A1 is expected to be [Hint: set u and v to specific numbers that are equal to see what happens]:
Answers
Answer:
The equilibrium frequency of the A1 (p = v/(u+v)) is expected to be equal to the equilibrium frequency of the A2 (q = 1 - p)
Explanation:
Available data:
Locus with two alleles, A1 and A2The probability of A1 mutating to A2 is P(A1->A2)=uThe probability of A2 mutating to A1 is P(A2->A1)=vV=Unor V or U is equal to cerop is the frequency for A1 and q is the frequency of A2.The equilibrium frequency of the A1 is expected to be p = v/(u+v)
The equilibrium frequency of the A2 is expected to be q=1-p=1 - (v/(u+v))
For example, if V = U = 0.005, then
p = 0.005/(0.005+0.005) = 0.005/0.01 = 0.5q = 1-p = 1-0.5 = 0.5The equilibrium frequency of A1 = The equilibrium frequency of A2. The rate of mutation is equal for both alleles.

Human impact on the environment.
Explanation:
Human is the main responsible for the change in the environment. Human activities causes severe damage to the environment. The habitat of different species were destroyed by human for its own purpose. Large number of forest were eliminated for making land suitable for construction and living. Due to vehicles and industries, large amount of carbondioxide is emitted in the atmosphere which contribute in rising the temperature of the earth atmosphere. This global warming change the habitat of different organisms and these organism will die or migrate to other suitable places. Acid rain also occurs due to the emission of CO2, CO and SO2 from vehicles and industries. This acid rain causes adverse effect on the animals, plants and infrastructure or buildings.

D. Insertion of a transposon into the gene encoding Factor VIII, an essential blood-clotting protein.
E. Undefined.
Answers
Answer:
The answer is incomplete because it is imperative to know what is the result of the transposition (i.e., deleterious, beneficial or neutral). For example, A and C options represent study cases where the insertion of Transposable Elements (TEs) may result beneficial for the organism.
Explanation:
Transposable Elements (TE) are mobile genetic elements that have the ability to move within the genome. According to their mechanisms of insertion, TEs are classified into two major classes: Class I (or retrotransposons) and Class II (DNA transposons), which are capable of moving by copy-paste (i.e., by a RNA intermediate) and cut-paste mechanisms, respectively.
Although originally were considered to be parasitic (deleterious) genetic mobile elements, nowadays it is well known that they may be sometimes beneficial depending on the localization of the TE insertion. For example, TE insertion into a protein-coding region (exon) sequence it is likely to produce protein disruption and thereby it has a deleterious effect. However, the insertion of TEs into upstream and intron non-coding regions may confer gene regulatory activity and be eventually beneficial to the organism.

Over abundance of nutrients in the water is most likely to cause harm to which group of organisms?
A. Any organism that uses calcium carbonate to build support or protection.
B. Top tier predators that eat a lot of smaller fish
C. All organisms because it creates giant dead zones where nothing can survive.
D. Human populations through sea level rise
Answers
Answer:
Option-C
Explanation:
The flow of nutrients from the sewage and industries is the cause of the nutrient pollution in water bodies. These chemicals get accumulated in the water bodies affecting the aquatic ecosystem to a very large extent.
The increased level of nitrogen and phosphorus causes eutrophication which is also known as algal-boom. These nutrients cause the massive growth of algae which decreases the oxygen level of the water bodies. This increases BOD level of the water bodies which does not allow the growth of other aquatic species.
As a result of this, the dead zones are created where nothing can survive and therefore is the correct answer.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
