Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An organism is the smallest level of organization in terms of ecology. Taxonomically, organisms are divided into many different species.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct Answer:

A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different populations in a given time period.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

A campus consists of a many different types of populations. The humans studying there make up one kind of population and others are formed by the different plants, trees, birds, insects etc. A community is also made up of different types of populations within an area over a time period.

Option (B) is given as “a community”.

“All the organisms on your campus make up a community”, it is the right answer.

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “an ecosystem”.

An ecosystem consists of the non-living matters too, along with the living organisms. However, we are talking only about the living organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “a population”.

A population consists of organisms of the same species. However, the campus consists of many numbers of species. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “a taxonomic domain”.

A domain is the highest in hierarchy in the classification system and encompasses a large number of organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

All the organisms on a campus make up a community. A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different types of populations in a given time period.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent.  b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involved
