On the basis of their morphologies, how might Linnaeus have classified the Hawaiian silverswords?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior

  1. He would have placed them all in the same species.

  2. He would have classified them the same way that modern botanists do.

  3. He would have placed them in more species than modern botanists do.

  4. He would have used evolutionary relatedness as the primary criterion for their classification.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree II 1 is affected with an autosomal recessive disorder. The disease status for II 2 is unknown. A and B represent alleles at a locus which is tightly linked to the disease locus with recombination fraction of 0. Using the linked markers, II2 can be told that:

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree II 3 and III 1 are affected with an X-linked recessive disorder which is tightly linked to a marker locus with alleles A and B, with a recombination fraction of 0 between the disease and marker loci. Analysis of the linked marker results indicates that the disease must be segregating with:

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In this pedigree I 1 and II 2 have Becker muscular dystrophy which shows X-linked recessive inheritance. III 2 has oculocutaneous albinism which shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence in the general population of 1 in 10 000. The disease status for both Becker muscular dystrophy and oculocutaneous albinism is unknown for IV 1 and IV 2.
What is the probability that III 3 is a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy?
