Summary Introduction

To determine: The function of the atrioventricular valve.

Introduction: The cardiovascular system is made of different components. The heart constitutes the primary organs of the system, and the arteries, veins, and blood capillaries form the associated structures of the cardiovascular system. Among the blood vessels, the pulmonary artery, vein, and aorta form the largest and most important vessel system.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The consequences if one of the atrioventricular valves fails to close.

Introduction: The cardiac cycle begins with an action potential generated in the muscle near the atria of the heart. This region of the heart is called the sinoatrial node (SA node). The electrical impulse initiates the contraction of muscles.

P You are studying a population of 100 flowers that has two alleles at a locus for flower color, blue (B) and green (G). There are 15 individuals with the BB genotype, 70 individuals with the BG genotype, and 15 individuals with the GG genotype. (a) What are the allele frequencies of B and G in the starting population? Show your calculations. (2 pts) (b) Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Show your calculations. (3 pts) 12pt v Paragraph BIU UA AV & VT2V f CO V
In a natural population of outbreeding plants, the variance of the total number of seeds per plant is 16. From the natural population, 20 plants are taken into the laboratory and developed into separate true-breeding lines by self- fertilization-with selection for high, low, or medium number of seeds-for 10 generations. The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets is about equal and averages 5.8 across all the sets. Estimate the broad-sense heritability for seed number in this population.
