Summary Introduction

To determine: The goal of philosophy in the study of physical activity and the major challenges faced by it.

Introduction: Philosophy is the science that deals with the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge values, reason, mind, and language. Sports organizations have faced issues in resolving topics related to gender. Philosophy is helpful in this issue because it gives a clear perspective for addressing complex problems.

Explanation of Solution

The main goal of the philosophical study of physical activity is to understand the nature of health and physical activity and its contribution towards a healthy living. Further, it also focuses on the behavior of individuals in sports.

The challenges faced by the philosophical study of physical activity are as follows:

  • Personal opinion: It indicates the preference of an individual. It becomes difficult to support the judgment of each individual.
  • Speculations: Speculations are difficult to support with evidence. Speculations are always associated with doubt and can lead to biased conclusions.
  • Probable assertion: In this type of claims, the required evidence can be gathered. These claims are generally based on logic and insight.
  • Truth assertion: These are those claims that are very difficult to question and can be based on peer-reviewed information.

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
