You are a conservation biologist, studying genetic variation in three populations of an endangered species of ladybug beetle. population 1 has 20 beetles, two of which have brown spots, a recessive trait; the other nine beetles have red spots. population 2 has 150 beetles and 15 of them have brown spots, while 135 have red spots. population 3 has 50 beetles, and five of them have brown spots. in which population is the frequency of the allele for brown spots the highest?

You have 2 plants of the same type and same size, same amount of leaves. one of them is put inside the house and the other one is put in the balcony. you water them saturday, one plant with 200 ml and the other with 400 ml of water. which one of your plants need less water? explain.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

The carbon cycle is best defined as a process in which a. carbon changes from inorganic forms to organic forms and back b. carbon is changed into other elements such as oxygen or nitrogen c. carbon is continually created from the sun’s energy by plants d. carbon is consumed and regenerated from other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen
