Summary Introduction

To determine:

The meaning of 20/70 vision.

Introduction:

The eyes are the main organ of the visual system. They are responsible for providing the animals with vision as they have receptors to receive and sense visual information. Eyes collect light in the form of wavelength and then convert it into electro-chemical impulses.

Explanation of Solution

The visual acuity, sharpness of vision, is determined by the measuring the ratio of vision by standing 20 feet apart from the given object. 20/70 vision means that the person must be at 20 feet to see the object for which a normal vision person must be 70 feet apart.

Conclusion

20/70 vision means that a person should be 20 feet apart to see the object to which a normal vision person can see 70 feet apart.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The meaning of 20/10 vision.

Introduction:

The eyes are the main organ of the visual system. They are responsible for providing the animals with vision as they have receptors to receive and sense visual information. Eyes collect light in the form of wavelength and then convert it into electro-chemical impulses.

Explanation of Solution

The visual acuity, sharpness of vision, is determined by the measuring the ratio of vision by standing 20 feet apart from the given object. 20/10 vision means that the person must be at 20 feet to see the object for which a normal vision person must be 10 feet apart. This means the eyesight of the person fat better than that of the normal human being.

Conclusion

20/70 vision means that a person should be 20 feet apart to see the object to which a normal vision person can see 10 feet apart.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The problem caused by astigmatism.

Introduction:

The eyes are the main organ of the visual system. They are responsible for providing the animals with vision as they have receptors to receive and sense visual information. Eyes collect light in the form of wavelength and then convert it into electro-chemical impulses.

Explanation of Solution

Any fault in the shape of cornea leads to astigmatism. A person suffering from astigmatism, has irregular shaped cornea. Due to this light refracts in an altered manner to the retina. This leads to fuzzy, blurry, and distorted vision.

Conclusion

Astigmatism leads to blurred and distorted vision.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The near point accommodation often increases with age.

Introduction:

The eyes are the main organ of the visual system. They are responsible for providing the animals with vision as they have receptors to receive and sense visual information. Eyes collect light in the form of wavelength and then convert it into electro-chemical impulses.

Explanation of Solution

With age, the lens of the eyes become hard that reduces the ability of eye to accommodate. As the lens hardens it becomes more spherical leading to increase in refractive power to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, that causes decrease in the near point of vision.

Conclusion

The near point accommodation often increases with age because with age the lens gets hardened.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The eye defect that causes color-deficient vision.

Introduction:

The eyes are the main organ of the visual system. They are responsible for providing the animals with vision as they have receptors to receive and sense visual information. Eyes collect light in the form of wavelength and then convert it into electro-chemical impulses.

Explanation of Solution

The color-deficient vision means that the person is color blind, the condition termed as achromatopsia. Such people can see only grey, black or white colors. If color blindness is inherited then it affects only one eye and if it is caused by injury then it affects one eye only.

Conclusion

The eye defect that causes color-deficient vision is the color blindness.

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:
