Summary Introduction

Introduction: A conference was held by “The American Association for the Advancement of Science”. This conference was known as “Vision and change”. The aim of this conference was to enhance education in the field of biology. This resulted in the reorganization of essential biological theories.

Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer: Taxonomy is not a core concept of biology, as advocated by “Vision and Change”. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

The conference named “Vision and Change” includes five major biological theories. These theories are regarded as the core concepts in the field of biology. These theories include:

  • Evolution
  • Structure and functions of living organisms.
  • Information flow, storage, and exchange.
  • Pathways that are required for energy and matter transfer
  • Living systems

Taxonomy is not a core concept of biology according to “Vision and Change”.

Option d. is given as “Taxonomy”.

Taxonomy is not included in the five biological theories given by “Vision and Change”. Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Reasons for incorrect answer:

Option a. is given as, “Evolution”.

Evolution is the process of the development of an organism from its forefather. According to “Vision and Change”, it is an important concept of biology. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as, “Information flow, exchange, and storage”.

Information flow, exchange, and storage are among the five concepts of biology. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as, “Structure and function”.

Structure and function are important in living organisms. Every organism has a unique structure and function that makes it different from the rest. “Vision and Change” has included structure and function among the five core concepts. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option e. is given as, “Pathways and transformation of energy and matter”.

Pathways and transformation of energy and matter have been included in the concepts given by “Vision and Change”. Hence, option e. is incorrect.

Hence, the options a., b., c., and e. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Therefore, taxonomy has not been included as a core concept in the field of biology by “Vision and Change”. This conference recognized only five processes as “the core concepts of biology”.

Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
