Which of the following statements regarding extinction is accurate?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms

  1. A large percentage of species are immune from extinction; however, rates of extinction may increase with continued human impacts.

  2. Extinctions occur only periodically, separated by long time spans with no extinctions.
  3. Extinction is occurring at a similar rate now as compared to historical fossil evidence.

  4. The small-population approach is inferior to the declining-population approach if the goal is to conserve the maximum number of species in a given region.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Estimate p, the frequency of allele A, in Generation 1?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You calculate map distances between genes A, B, and C based on all pairwise dihybrid crosses. When you perform the trihybrid cross to verify your results, you discover that, despite analysis of a very large number of progeny, you have only about half as many double crossover progeny as you expect. Which explanation is the most reasonable?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

I do a chi square analysis of the offspring from my cross of a black mouse and albino mouse. If the black mouse was heterozygous I should have expected a 1:1 ratio, and I got 6 albino and 2 black mice. What is my chi square value?
