Part 3: Post-Lab Questions 1. How similar are the observed phenotypes in each replicate? 2. How similar are they if you pool your data from each of the five replicates? 3. Is it closer or further from your prediction? 4. Did the results from the monohybrid or dihybrid cross most closely match your predicted ratio of phenotypes? 5. Based on these results, what would you expect if you were looking at a cross of 5, 10, or 20 independently sorted genes? 6. Why is it so expensive to produce a hybrid plant seed? 7. In certain bacteria, an oval shape (O) is dominant over round (o) and thick cell walls (T) are dominant over thin (t). Show a cross between a heterozygous oval, thick cell walled bacteria with a round, thin cell walled bacteria. What are the phenotypes of the F1 and F2 offspring?

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
