Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Pollination by wind is called anemophily and such plants in which pollination occurs by wind are called anemophilous plants. Anemophilous plants are characterised by small flowers, pollens present in large number which are small, dry and light in weight (carried upto by wind), number of ovules generally reduced in ovary (biological significance), feathery or brushy stigma (to receive the pollen). Grasses and palms are generally anemophilous.

Question: Since viruses often use receptors found on cells as a way to enter the cell, explain why treatments that would block or remove those cell receptors might be poor or ineffective treatment options. I was hoping to find out also if there is another way a virus can infect a cell without receptors? Will upvote if correct :)

The mean and variance of plant height of two highly inbred strains P and P and their progeny F1 and F2 are shown here: Strain Mean (cm) Variance P1 32.0 2.8 P2 58.0 3.7 F1 45.0 4.9 F2 47.1 9.6 To calculate the broad-sense heritability (H2) of plant height in this species, we need to use the formula: H2 = (Vg / Vp) * 100 Where Vg is the genetic variance and Vp is the phenotypic variance. To calculate Vg, we can use the formula: Vg = (Vp - Ve) / 2 Where Ve is the environmental variance. Let's calculate Vg and Vp for the given data: For strain P1: Vp = 2.8 Ve = 2.8 - 2.8 = 0 Vg = (2.8 - 0) / 2 = 1.4 For strain P2: Vp = 3.7 Ve = 3.7 - 3.7 = 0 Vg = (3.7 - 0) / 2 = 1.85 For progeny F1: Vp = 4.9 Ve = 4.9 - 2.8 = 2.1 Vg = (4.9 - 2.1) / 2 = 1.4 For progeny F2: Vp = 9.6 Ve = 9.6 - 2.8 = 6.8 Vg = (9.6 - 6.8) / 2 = 1.4 Now, let's calculate the average Vg and Vp: Average Vg = (1.4 + 1.85 + 1.4 + 1.4) / 4 = 1.5125 Average Vp = (2.8 + 3.7 + 4.9 + 9.6) / 4 = 5.5 Finally, let's calculate H2: H2 = (1.5125 / 5.5) * 100 = 27.5 Therefore, the broad-sense heritability (H2) of plant height in this species is 27.5%.
