Due to the increase in global travel and the prevalence of invasive species, the Anopheles mosquito carrying the malaria parasite was inadvertently introduced to this isolated Pacific island. A researcher, 100 years from the present day, decides to complete a follow-up study and monitors another 50 couples who are all heterozygous for type A blood and have sickle cell trait. These couples had 136 children. Based on the introduction of the Anopheles mosquito carrying the malaria parasite, predict scientifically logical observed numbers of children for each genotype possibility and complete a chi-square statistical analysis test. Required:
a. What is your predicted chi-square value (χ2 )?
b. Calculate df.
c. Using the critical values table, determine the predicted P value.
d. From your predicted numbers, do you accept or reject the null hypothesis?
e. Based on what you know about hemoglobin, sickle cell disease, blood type, and malaria, what selection pressures are acting on this population of children? Explain your answer.

type 2 happens when excess consumption of high-sugar foods flood the blood supply with glucose and reduce the production and effectiveness of insulin. if a person has prediabetes, they can reduce the risk of full diabetes through regular exercise and a balanced, low-sugar diet.

endo:

regulates body hormones, aldosterone, vasopressin

neural:

signal, regulates body using electric signals, reflex

endo has to do with hormones; aldosterone and vasopressin are both hormones. i also had this question and got it right : d

some scientists like gregory adcock agree with thorne's theory of regional continuity.

others, like chris stringer and ian tattersall, believe thorne's results may be contaminated or misinterpreted.

answer;

a. sheep consumption efficiency would be reduced.

explanation;

-trophic efficiency is a measure of how much energy occurs at one level divided by the energy at the level immediately below it . trophic efficiency incorporates three types of efficiency:

-the proportion of available energy that is consumed (consumption efficiency).   it is the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by consumers.

-the proportion of ingested food that is assimilated (assimilation efficiency).

-the proportion of assimilated food that goes into new consumer biomass (production efficiency).

-in this case, the grasshoppers would affect sheep by reducing the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by the sheep.
