c. Suppose a large population of turtles consists only of two species, snapping turtle and box turtle, but the percentage of the species in the population are unknown. What is the maximum possible value of the diversity index D for the population

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D_m=1/2[/tex]      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

2 species

Assuming that questions a and be are solved

Diversity index D=2p_1p_2

with [tex]p_1 +p_2 =1[/tex]

Mathematically

[tex]D=2p_1(1-p_1)[/tex]

[tex]D=2(p_1-p_1^2)[/tex]

[tex]D=2({\frac{1}{4} -(p_1-1/2)^2}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]D=\frac{1}{2} -2(p_1-1/2)^2[/tex]

Giving

[tex]D_m=1/2[/tex]      

[tex]p_1=1/2[/tex]

You have adopted a gray mouse, which you know is a wild type phenotype. When crossed with a white mouse, your gray mouse has a first litter of 3 gray mice and 2 white mice. In the second litter, you observe 3 gray mice and 4 white mice. What is the probable genotype of your gray mouse

Answers

Assuming the white phenotype is recessive. white: gg
I think the gray mouse is Gg because the offspring were pretty equally distributed in terms of color. See the punnet square below.
g g
G| Gg Gg
g| gg gg

If the Gray phenotype is recessive, then gray: ww but only if white is Ww because its about 50% chance for both.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infection:

Answers

Answer: Sterilization.

Explanation:

Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.

Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote. A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).

Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.

Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:

Wet heat (in steam autoclave) Dry heat (in sterilization oven) Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)

Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

Hydrogen peroxideChlorine dioxideOzone gasesEthylene oxidePropylene oxidePeracetic acid

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In fruit flies, the recessive pr and cn mutations cause brown and bright-red eyes, respectively (wild-type flies have brick-red eyes). The double mutant pr cn combination has orange eyes. A female who has wild-type eyes is crossed to an orange-eyed male. Their progeny have the following distribution of eye colors:

The F1 mother of these progeny (F2) resulted from a cross between two flies from true breeding lines (P generation). What are the genotypes of these two lines ?

Answer:

prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn

Explanation:

Progeny is the offspring or descendants of any animal, plant, human or a species.

In the context, it is given that the cn mutation and recessive pr in the fruit flies makes brown and bright red color eyes. And the double mutant of pr and cn combination makes orange eyes. An oragne eye males is crossed with a female having a wild type eyes. Now for this, the F1 mother of the progeny F2 which results from the cross of two flies, the genotypes is " prprcn+cn+ and pr+pr+cncn. "

Mutation is any alteration or change in the genetic sequence of a gene caused by mutagens (substances) or mistakes during replication of genetic sequences.

A mutation occurs in the gene from time to time, although, the cell has protocols in place to put them under control if they occur. However, when DNA or a gene is being copied and transferred to offsprings, there is bound for mistakes called MUTATION to occur.

Answer:

The correct answer is - add a few bases for DNA polymerase

Explanation:

A short extended nucleic acid composed of ssRNA molecule. This is a molecule that synthesize a primer initialy and later again lay down a primer after the opening of replication fork by DNA helicase.

It sysntheisze before and after the helicase and follow the helicase in order to prepare for the replication process. Thus, adding a few bases for DNA polymerase is main job of RNA primase.

Answer:

The correct answer is - b. inadequate mineralization in the osteoid.

Explanation:

Osteomalacia is a condition where the bones become weak and soft, this bone softening is occurred due to mainly vitamin D deficiency that also causes rickets. It leads to insufficient or inadequate mineralization in the osteoid.

This conditing when takes place in kids and young adult leads to curve or bowing during the growth period. In this case, bones are very prone or easily fractured.
