During the rate of succession several factors would be observe at the pioneer as well as climax community;

STAGES	CHARACTER
A) Pioneer community	i) Biotic Potential low
B) Climax community	ii) Root to Shoot ratio is high
	iii) Productivity per biomass is low
	iv) Net primary productivity is high
	v) P/R ratio is greater than 1
	vi) Nutrient cycling is closed
	vii) Regeneration ability is more
	viii) Resistance ability is more

Match the community stages with its given characters;

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Consider the following diagrams, each being a different situation in which an entire gene is represented in a higher organism. In some cases, a point mutation exists (indicated by p). In other cases, a deletion has occurred (indicated by xxxxx), both of which render the gene nonfunctional

Which of the following homozygous cross would produce wild type phenotype?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Maximum height of plant is 200 cm and minimum average height is 80cm. if plant height is controle by 5 pairs of polygene, which of the following plant exhibit average phenotype?

#Question id: 5424

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Imagine that height in corn plants is determined by three loci. The baseline height is 100 cm. Every + allele adds 10cm to the plant’s potential height, every – allele subtracts 10 cm from the plant’s potential height. The shortest possible plant and the tallest possible plant are mated to form an F1, what is the height of the F1?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

Two varieties of maize averaging 50 and 20 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 35 inches in height. Out Of the 16 F2 plants, the 5 are 35 inches. What is the probable number of independent segregating polygenes involved in this trait?

#Question id: 5427

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In a plant, height is control by three quantitative trait loci.  Each dominant additive allele is contributing 3 cm height in plant. Maximum expected plant height is 20 cm. What is minimum expected height?
