pasta is normally made from tetraploid wheat ( 4n = 4 sets of chromosomes, humans are diploid with 2 sets. )
Semolina and durum are names you will encounter for 4n wheat cultivars.
6n (hexaploid) wheat is so-called bread wheat or sometimes modern wheat. 4n wheat crops...
Very short and general precis: Analyzing the 'barcode' gene in mitochondria (big data source) has found that most current animal species have comparatively tiny genetic diversity, humans included. Based on the data, the conclusion is modern human genetic diversity is low, and modern humans as a...
Hello,
Is anyone familiar with the French Standard DTU for water supply infrastructure networks. I'm not understanding how to apply the diversity factors and coefficient of simultaneity to calculate the instantaneous maxumum demand and where to apply it. I was thinking of applying the formula...
9 greeks, 17 finns, 7 russians, 11 chinese and 8 swedish students are studying in groups. A group can consist of one or more persons. If a group has two or more persons of the same nationality, it must also have at least one person representing another nationality. The question is: in how many...
One of my physics Ph,D application is asking for a optional diversity statement. Do you think describing how I'm pretty religious and how Theists in general are under represented in physics, especially among young people aspiring to be physicists help me or hurt me?
"Unlike our close genetic relatives - chimps - all humans have virtually identical DNA. In fact, one group of chimps can have more genetic diversity than all of the six billion humans alive today."

Hi ,
I have two doubts about which I am quite confused. It would be great if I can get a decent answer for them.
1.) How many possible number of elements exist in nature discovered by humans , like H,He,Carbon,Silicon,Uranium,Strontium,Thorium,etc... ?
-Are there any possibilities for...

What formulas would i use to calculate the species abundance and diversity?
The Attempt at a Solution
I only know this formula H'=-\Sigma...
If all the different races or cultures of mankind began to intermingle and reproduce with one another until there was just one homogenous culture or race, would the genetic diversity of the species as a whole have lessened or grown. Would the species as a whole be more robust before or after...
Diversity of "emergent gravity" programs?
Does any of you knowledgeable people know of any an reviews of various "emergent gravity" programs? Ie. something that focuses on the different ways to do it.
It appears that many emergent gravity programs, inspired by condensed matter physics...
I am in AP Biology and we have been given an assignment relating to human genetics. The statement is: "Humans are genetically different; yet genetically similar at the same time." Explain why this statement is true. I have been researching day and night for the past 2 days and although I have...
for Ap exam, not for homework
I already figured out most of the questions about the diversity of animal, plants, protsit, prokaryote and fungi.
these are the question that I couldn't understand:

New finds from (aquatic) microbial cataloguing studies show that there's way more kinds of bacterial life in seawater than previously estimated.

Which is a true statement about genetic diversity?
a. Genetic resistance to pests and diseases can be increased by crossing a plant with ancestral varieties
b. Genetic engineering technology is used to increase genetic diversity by creating new species with synthetic genes
I want to say...
For bacterial species, it is hypothesised that only 1% of the species have been identified. Fewer species have been isolated are culturable. Most bacterial species are not culturable. Also you to include all other unicellular organism which includes, archea, some species of fungi, and protozoan...
This thread could equally well be in Biology, but since genetics and hereditability have figured so prominently in the various IQ threads in this sub-forum, I feel it would a good place, and perhaps a useful resource.
