we learned not only about the importance of Mendel's Laws (segregation and independent assortment) to heredity, but also that there are a number of exceptions to Mendel's Laws. Inheritance follows some basic ideas, but can certainly appear to be a tricky thing if you don't fully understand the basis of how the traits of living things come about.

This discussion, therefore, will focus on the exceptions to Mendel's Laws so that it will help you better understand how traits come about. You should look up more information on an exception and provide us with a better understanding of it in your postings. Different examples, importance, effects on traits including diseases, and other things can certainly be addressed. Please let me know if you have any questions on this interesting and relevant topic. I need 2 outside sources with IN-Paragraph citation as well as an ending citation. Use your words.. We also use https://openstax.org/details/concepts-biology

You are a researcher who is interested in three genes in drosophila: The a gene, the b gene and the c gene. You think the genes may be linked, so you decide to do a cross using a true-breeding a+/b+/c+ fly and an a/b/c fly. The F1 generation is all a+/b+/c+. However, when the F1 generation is bred to a true-breeding a/b/c fly, it yields the following offspring phenotypes: 596 a+/b+/c+ ; 589 a/b/c ; 183 a+/b/c ; 176 a/b+/c+ ; 0 a/b+/c ; 0 a+/b/c+ ; 0 a+/b+/c ; 0 a/b/c+. Which What is a possible interpretation of your results?

Group of answer choices

The b and c genes demonstrate 100% (complete) linkage.

The b and c genes are recessive lethal alleles.

The a gene is a dominant lethal allele.

The a and b genes demonstrate 100% (complete) linkage.

Describe why a plant cell would need a large center vacuole compared to an animal cell that only has smaller vacuoles.

What are two types of genetic variation that DO NOT contribute to an immediate response to selection for a population? Think about the constituents of VG when deriving the narrow sense heritability.

4. Indicate what will happen (color change) in the following conditions:

A. Mix McDonald’s Sweet Tea with Benedict’s Solution:__________________.

B. Mix pureed yams with iodine:_____________________________________.

C. Mix a salad dressing of herbs/oil with Sudan Solution:__________________.

D. Mix pureed tofu with Biuret’s Solution:______________________________.

Explain why the structure of myoglobin makes it function well as an oxygen-storage protein whereas the structure of hemoglobin makes it function well as an oxygen-transport protein. Describe briefly the two principal models for the cooperative binding of ligands to proteins with multiple binding sites.

1. State what is the null hypothesis in a chi-square test & what is the alternative hypothesis

2. Explain what probability is represented by the p-value.

3. What can you conclude when p-value is below the threshold of significance (e.g., p = 0.05)?

4. What would you conclude when p-value is above the critical value?

5. Is there a statistically significant association between one of the alleles tested and the Taster phenotype?

6. Which genotype is over-represented in the Non-Tasters?

7. Which allele is over-represented in the Non-Tasters?

QUESTION 8 Carbohydrates (select the BEST CORRECT statement)

Beta 1-4 linkages are found in both chitin and cellulose.

Glycogen has more alpha 1-6 linkages than does amylose.

Dextrose is an insoluble carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by enzymes encoded in the mammalian genome.

All of the above are correct.

Only (a) and (b) are correst

Can the italicized portion of the problem be explained? I understand up until the 0.015 moles of protonated acetic acid remained and I understand the HH portion of the problem after but I would like some clarity on how this number was concluded.

2. The following question has two parts.
a) What is the final pH of a solution obtained by mixing 250 ml of 0.3 M acetic acid with 300 ml

of 0.2 M KOH? (pKb of acetate = 9.24). (Show your work!)

Moles of acetic acid = 0.25 l X 0.3 M = 0.075 moles
Adding 0.3 l X 0.2 M = 0.06 moles of OH- to this solution will convert 0.06 moles of acetic

acid to 0.06 moles of acetate, 0.015 moles of protonated acetic acid will remain. pKa = 14 - pKb = 14 - 9.24 = 4.76

pH = pKa + log [CH3CO2-][CH3CO2H]

= 4.76 + log 0.06 moles / 0.55 l 0.015 moles / 0.55 l

= 4.76 + log 0.06 moles0.015 moles

= 5.36

pH = 5.36

What direct evidence do scholars present for behavioral links between gorillas/chimpanzees and humans. Give at least four examples.  

What kinds of advantages, in terms of evolutionary fitness, do cooperative behaviors provide among different species of non human primates, and under what selective pressures would behaviors such as altruism (toward kin and nonkin) be likely to evolve?

Why has being social been selected for (called a prosocial behavioral strategy) among some primates, including humans? Come up with a reason for its adaptation.

You are at a dinner table and your uncle says, “If evolution were true, then why do we still have monkeys?” After taking this class how would you answer?

if you suspect a contaminant in one of your different media tubes (slant/deep/broth), what should you do to confirm that there is a contaminant?

Scientists recently discovered that elephants have 40 copies of the p53 gene, while humans have two copies (one from our biological mother and one from our biological father).

Use the language of biology to explain how this discovery could explain why so few elephants die from cancer.

A) Please explain the difference between negative and positive feedback loops as it applies to climate change. Give an example of each.

B) Bird migrations (to breeding areas) are often linked to day length which has changed extremely slowly for millions of years. Temperatures have change very rapidly recently and now insects are hatching up to two weeks earlier than they used to. Why is this a problem for birds that depend on those insects for food for their chicks?
