In genetics, the dash symbol (–) is a "wild card" that stands for either the dominant allele or the recessive allele; for example, a– means the individual has either the genotype aa or aa. two genes that undergo independent assortment affect the shape of the seed capsule in the broadleaf weed known as shepherd's purse. each gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant for the shape of the seed capsule. genotypes of the form a– b–, a– bb, and aa b– have triangular seed capsules, whereas the seed capsules of aa bb genotypes are ovoid. what ratio of triangular : ovoid is expected from the cross aa bb x aa bb?

Dr. kaylan is an ecologist who studies bird behavior. she sets up an experiment to test which type of food crows are most likely to eat when given a choice between walnuts, corn, and sunflower seeds. to perform her experiment, dr. kaylan places three food bins in an area frequented by cows. each bin contains one of the three food types. then, she measures how much of each food type is eaten every day for a month and summarizes the results of her experiment in the pie chart below. based on her results, dr. kaylan concludes that crows choose to eat corn more frequently than other food sources because it has a higher nutritional value. what is a reasonable alternate conclusion that can be drawn from dr. kaylan's data

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
