D. Dinosaurs choose to fly, and evolved into birds to escape predation and capture food.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B sounds like a sensible choice

Explanation:

Answer 2

The extinct dinosaur and modern bird share a common ancestor. So the correct option is B.

What are evolutionary relationships?

Systematics, taxonomy, phylogenetics, and evolution are the four approaches used to investigate evolutionary connections. The branch of science known as systematics is concerned with classifying species and figuring out their relationships. It has two primary branches that may be separated:

Organisms are classified, given names, and grouped in taxonomy. A population, species, genus, or higher-level grouping like a family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, or domain can all be considered as a group or taxon. The word taxon is pluralized as taxa. The determination of evolutionary links or patterns of descent of species is via the study of phylogenetics.

The species of living things that exist now are all descendants of earlier ones. This is the result of evolution or merely time-related change. Branching evolutionary trees can be used to illustrate the evolutionary links between ancestors and their offspring. An evolutionary tree shows which ancestors gave rise to which descendants, much like your family tree does.

Therefore the correct option is B.

The Offspring produced by a cross between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C. A theoretical model of any of the three genotypes denoted by A, B, and C should be in the ratio 1:2:1. For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded. Do these data contradict the genetic model

Answers

Complete question:

The offspring produced between two given types of plants can be any of the three genotypes, denoted by A, B and C. A theoretical model of gene inheritance suggests that the offspring of types A, B and C should be in a 1:2:1 ratio (meaning 25% A, 50% B, and 25% C). For experimental verification, 100 plants are bred by crossing the two given types. Their genetic classifications are recorded in the table below.

Genotype       Observed frequency

    A             →        18 individuals

    B             →        55 individuals

    C             →        27 individuals

Do these contradict the genetic model?  

Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Determine the chi-square test statistic.

Answer:

Do these contradict the genetic model? No, according to the chi-square test, there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of the population being in equilibrium.  

Explanation:

Available data:

Crossed genotypes: twoGenotypes among the offspring; Three → A, B, and CExpected phenotypic ratio → 1:2:1Total number of individuals, N = 100A = 18 individualsB = 55 individualsC = 27 individuals

So, let us first state the hypothesis:

H₀= the population is equilibrium for this locus → F(A) = 25%,  F(B) = 50%, F(C) = 25%  H₁ = the population is not in equilibrium

Now, let us calculate the number of expected individuals, according to their expected ratio.

4 -------------- 100% -------------100 individuals

1 ---------------  25% -------------X = 25 individuals A

2 --------------  50% -------------X = 50 individuals B

1----------------- 25%--------------X = 25 individuals C

                                                  A                             B                           C

Observed                         18                            55                         27 Expected                         25                           50                         25 (Obs-Exp)²/Exp                1.96                        0.5                        0.16

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp

A)  (18 - 25)²/25 = 49/25 = 1.96

B)  (55 - 50)² / 50 = 25/50 = 0.5

C)  (27 - 25)²/25 = 4/25 = 0.16

Chi square = X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp  

∑ is the sum of the terms O are the Observed individuals: 2 in chamber B, and 18 in chamber A.  E are the Expected individuals: 10 in each chamber  

= ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 1.96 + 0.5 + 0.16 = 2.62

Freedom degrees = 2

Significance level, 5% = 0.05  

Table value/Critical value = 5.99

X² < Critical value

2.62 < 5.99    

These results suggest that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. We can assume that the locus under study in this population is in equilibrium H-W.

4. Predict what a fossil that illustrates the

Answers

Answer:

The discovery that birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic was made possible by recently discovered fossils from China, South America, and other countries, as well as by looking at old museum specimens from new perspectives and with new methods. The hunt for the ancestors of living birds began with a specimen of Archaeopteryx, the first known bird, discovered in the early 1860s. Like birds, it had feathers along its arms and tail, but unlike living birds, it also had teeth and a long bony tail. Furthermore, many of the bones in Archaeopteryx's hands, shoulder girdles, pelvis, and feet were distinct, not fused and reduced as they are in living birds. Based on these characteristics, Archaeopteryx was recognized as an intermediate between birds and reptiles; but which reptiles

Explanation:

Tornadoes can impact just about every U.S. state, but the majority of these storms are concentrated in states throughout the Midwest and Southeast. In fact, of the average 1,137 tornadoes that occur in the United States each year, 64% of them form in states located in “Tornado Alley” and “Dixie Alley”, two regions with a disproportionately high frequency of tornadoes due to atmospheric conditions that persist for long stretches of the year.

With an average of 140 tornadoes annually, Texas is the most tornado-prone state in the U.S., followed by Kansas with 80 and Florida with 59, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data.

What advantages does wifi applications of waves have over the previous technology?

Answers

Wi-Fi technology has its origins in a 1985 ruling by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission that released the bands of the radio spectrum at 900 megahertz (MHz), 2.4 gigahertz (GHz), and 5.8 GHz for unlicensed use by anyone. Technology firms began building wireless networks and devices to take advantage of the newly available radio spectrum, but without a common wireless standard the movement remained fragmented, as devices from different manufacturers were rarely compatible. Eventually, a committee of industry leaders came up with a common standard, called 802.11, which was approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997. Two years later a group of major companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global nonprofit organization created to promote the new wireless standard. WECA named the new technology Wi-Fi. Subsequent IEEE standards for Wi-Fi have been introduced to allow for greater bandwidth. The original 802.11 standard allowed a maximum data transmission rate of only 2 megabits per second (Mbps); 802.11n, introduced in 2007, has a maximum rate of 600 Mbps.

Under the IEEE Wi-Fi standards, the available frequency bands are split into several separate channels. These channels overlap in frequency, and therefore Wi-Fi uses channels that are far apart. Within each of these channels, Wi-Fi uses a “spread spectrum” technique in which a signal is broken into pieces and transmitted over multiple frequencies. Spread spectrum enables the signal to be transmitted at a lower power per frequency and also allows multiple devices to use the same Wi-Fi transmitter. Because Wi-Fi signals are often transmitted over short distances (usually less than 100 metres [330 feet]) in indoor environments, the signal can reflect off walls, furniture, and other obstacles, thus arriving at multiple time intervals and causing a problem called multipath interference. Wi-Fi reduces multipath interference by combining three different ways of transmitting the signal (in a method developed by Australian engineer John O’Sullivan and collaborators). The popularity of Wi-Fi has grown steadily. Wi-Fi allows local area networks (LANs) to operate without cables and wiring, making it a popular choice for home and business networks. Wi-Fi can also be used to provide wireless broadband Internet access for many modern devices, such as laptops, smartphones, tablet computers, and electronic gaming consoles. Wi-Fi-enabled devices are able to connect to the Internet when they are near areas that have Wi-Fi access, called “hot spots.” Hot spots have become common, with many public places such as airports, hotels, bookstores, and coffee shops offering Wi-Fi access. Some cities have constructed free citywide Wi-Fi networks. A version of Wi-Fi called Wi-Fi Direct allows connectivity between devices without a LAN. Radiotelegraphy, radio communication by means of Morse Code or other coded signals. The radio carrier is modulated by changing its amplitude, frequency, or phase in accordance with the Morse dot-dash system or some other code. At the receiver the coded modulation is recovered by an appropriate demodulator and the code groups are converted into the corresponding symbols. In many instances the symbols are generated by a computer and modem rather than with a manual telegraph key.

All plants are subject to photorespiration, but not all plants are equally affected by photorespiration due to the environment in which they live.Choose one of the two pictures (A or B) and explain why that environment would increase the likelihood that those plants would be greatly affected by photorespiration. Your answer should describe the nature of the environmental impact and how the impact would affect the anatomy and physiology of photosynthesis of the plant.The environments are:A. Desert. Prairie

Answers

Answer:

Desert.

Explanation:

Photorespiration occurs in C3 plants because their photosynthetic activities are disturbed due to high temperature of the environmental while on the other hand, C4 plants has absent this photorespiration process. The desert environment has direct impact on the plants having photorespiration due to its high temperature of the surrounding as compared Prairie where the environment is moderate so the C3 plants has high chances of photorespiration in desert condition as compared to Prairie.

what are the merit of
indigenous education​

Answers

Answer:

It was a way to protect, preserve and develop traditional indigenous skills and cultures. Education was a significant step towards empowering indigenous peoples to participate more fully in their communities. It was an indispensable asset to attain freedom and social justice.

Answer:

The core of indigenous education in Africa focused on providing each individual in the community with knowledge, practical skills and attitudes in order to prepare them to for his/her role in the society. It is a holistic system, in which apprenticeship, story telling, proverbs and myths played an important role. Traditional education developed in the ‘learners’ a sense of obligation towards the community and made learners to appreciate the history, language,customs and values of the tribal group, keeping in touch with their heritage, their cultural roots. Western education alienates young Africans from their cultural heritage.

Seed size in a plant is a polygenic characteristic. A grower crosses two pure-breeding varieties of the plant and measures seed size in the F1 progeny. She then backcrosses the F1 plants to one of the parental varieties and measures seed size in the backcross progeny. The grower finds that seed size in the backcross progeny has a higher variance that does seed size in the F1 progeny. Explain why the backcross progeny are more variable.

Answers

Answer:

The F1 progeny is completely heterozygous for the loci of interest since they were obtained by mating between two pure-breeding plant lines. In the next generation, the backcross progeny will have homo-zygous individuals and therefore they will be more variable, resulting from meiosis in F1 hybrids

Explanation:

An F1 resulting from the cross between two pure-breeding plant lines will produce all hybrid individuals, all of them genetically (and phenotypically) identical. Meiosis in F1 hybrids is well known to produce homo-zygous genotypes and thus increases genetic diversity in progeny. For instance, for a single locus, the expected ratio of genotypes obtained from crossing two heterozygous parents is 1:2:1, i.e., one homo-zigous dominant individual, two heterozygous individuals (genetically identical to the parents) and one homo-zygous recessive individual; while the expected phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (i.e., 3 dominant expressing: 1 recessive expressing​).

D. Both variables measure abundance, but population density takes the into account the size of individuals, not just the number of individuals in the population

E. None of these descriptions are correct

Population size refers to the number of individuals, while population dendity refers to the number of individuals per unit of area or volume. The correct option is E. None of these descriptions are correct.

------------------------------------------------

Before answering the question, let us review the concepts of population size and density.

Population size refers to the number of individuals composing a population.

Population size might determine the destiny of the population.

A small population has more chances to get extinct than a bigger-sized population.

Density refers to the average number of individuals of the same species per unit of area or volume. This measure may be more significant than population size.

To estimate population density there are two possible methods: Direct methods and indirect methods.  

Abundance indexes are the parameters related to density, and they reflect changes that might happen in the target population density. They are commonly used to compare population sizes.

According to these concepts, the correct option is E. None of these descriptions are correct.
