In a laboratory experiment of sexually reproducing plants, a certain trait is determined by a single gene. The dominant allele has complete dominance over the recessive allele, resulting in two different phenotypes. Scientists created a new population of this plant by crossing 51 homozygous dominant individuals with 49 homozygous recessive individuals. The following results are from the first five generations of this population: Generation - Number of individuals with dominant trait - Number of individuals with recessive trait - Total number of individuals 1 - 51 - 49 - 100 2 - 285 - 0 - 285 3 - 270 - 90 - 360 4 - 315 - 105 - 420 5 375 - 125 - 500 On the basis of the data, propose an explanation for the phenotypic changes from generations 1 to 3. Do you think this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.

The “ecological footprint” left by a citizen of a developed nation is about four times larger than that left by a citizen of a developing nation. why is this the case?

Suppose that on a small island off the coast of scotland, 32 percent of the population has blue eyes, which means that these individuals must be homozygous for the blue eye color gene (bb). the only other eye color found on the island is brown, and individuals that are homozygous for the brown eye color gene (bb) or heterozygous (bb) will have brown eyes because brown is the dominant gene. assume this population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium. if 100 babies are born next year, how many of these would you expect to have brown eyes and be heterozygous? a. 58 b. 49 c. 29 d. 43
