A continuous culture is maintained under steady-state conditions in a chemostat where the dilution rate equals the specific growth rate. If the maximum specific growth rate (μmax) of the organism is 0.8 h^-1 and the substrate concentration at which the organism grows at this rate is 1.6 g/L, determine the substrate concentration (in g/L) at which the specific growth rate becomes 0.4 h^-1. Assume Monod kinetics apply and Ks=0.4 g/L.

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?

If trait are governed by polygenic. If plant genotype AABB  ( 8 cm height ) were cross with aabb ( 2 cm height ) produced F1 and allowed to selfing . which of the following phenotypic height are not observe in F2 plant if all gamete participate in fertilization ?

Assume that three loci, each with two alleles (A and a, B and b, C and c), determine the differences in height between two homozygous strains of a plant. These genes are additive and equal in their effects on plant height. One strain (aabbcc) is 10 cm in height. The other strain (AABBCC) is 22 cm in height. The two strains are crossed, and the resulting F1 are interbred to produce 1000 F2 progeny. what is number of F2 progeny having intermediate height?

A plant height in Maize is control by 3 pair of polygene .Two varieties of maize averaging 120 and 60 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 40 inches in height. What is proportional of F2 progeny that is display phenotype either 120 cm or 60 cm height?
