Gene S controls the sharpness of spines in a type of cactus. Cacti with the dominant allele, S, have sharp spines, whereas homozygous recessive ss cacti have dull spines. Also, a second gene, N, determines whether or not cacti have spines. Homozygous recessive nn cacti have no spines at all. The relationship between genes S and N is an example of which of the following inheritance patterns?  

Which of the following statements is the most current description of a gene?  

An economist is studying the job market in area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given​ neighborhood, and let y represent the number of​ entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six neighborhoods gave the following information​ (units in hundreds of​ jobs). Data Table Total Jobs, x 17 31 51 29 49 25 Entry-level Jobs, y 2 2 6 5 9 4 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient (round to three decimal places).      [r] Is there a significant correlation between x and y? (yes or no)      [sign] Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination (round to three decimal places).     [r-sq] Find the equation of the least-squares regression line (round each coefficient to three decimal places).     y = [a] + [b]x Predict the number of entry-level jobs for a neighborhood with 4000 total jobs (round to the same number of decimal places as y).     [pred]

Which of the following pairs of processes make the greatest contribution to genetic diversity between generations of a diploid insect?  

Marfan syndrome in humans is caused by an abnormality of the connective tissue protein fibrillin. Patients are usually very tall and thin, with long spindly fingers, curvature of the spine, sometimes weakened arterial walls, and sometimes eye problems, such as lens dislocation. Which of the following would you conclude about Marfan syndrome from this information?  

A doctor wanted to determine whether there is a relationship between a male’s age and his HDL cholesterol level. The sample below represents ten males selected at random.  Data Table Age, x 38 42 46 32 55 52 61 66 26 38 HDL, y 57 54 34 56 35 40 42 47 44 62 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient (round to three decimal places).       [r] Is there a significant correlation between x and y? (yes or no)       [sign] Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination (round to three decimal places).     [r-sq] Find the equation of the least-squares regression line (round each coefficient to three decimal places).     y = [a] + [b]x Predict the HDL level for a 42-year-old male (round to the same number of decimal places as y).     [pred]
