As an extra-terrestrial biologist, you discover a new species on another planet. You have confirmed that there are 3 different possible phenotypes regarding skin texture: individuals with all smooth skin, individuals with all prickly skin, and individuals with patches of smooth and patches of prickly skin. After doing some genetic research, you discover that for this species, the male is the homogametic sex and the female is heterogametic. You also discover that the gene for skin texture is on the Z chromosome.You bring an individual with patches of smooth and patches of prickly skin into the lab for further study. Your assistant, Jessica, says that the individual must be female. Your other assistant, Jose, says the individual must be male. Your 3rd assistant, Olivia, says it could be either male or female.1.Who is right? What is the sex of this individual? Explain your answer fully (note that there is more than one way to correctly answer this question so you must thoroughly explain your rationale).2.Explain the cellular/molecular reason why individuals with both alleles have patches of each skin texture, rather than a mixture of both textures.

Please use the data and experiment video provided and follow all directions as well as use the uploaded template to record all the information. Use the data provided for the answers. I have attached the manual information, lab report format, as well as fractions 1 and 2. Thank you.

You are going to work together with a group to decide if the building of a wildlife crossing could increase the genetic viability of the Santa Monica Mountain (SMM) mountain lion population.In order to answer that question, we are going to look at some data!Post RequirementsThis assignment requires one post.Each person in your group will be responsible for analyzing one table of data from below and answering the associated questions.If you are the first person to post for your group, you are responsible for analyzing Table 1. If you are the second person, do Table 2, etc. Before posting, double-check that someone else hasn't already completed the post for that table.GradingTo see how this assignment will be graded, click on the three dots in the upper right corner of this page, then click "Show Rubric". If you're reviewing this assignment using the Canvas mobile app, the rubric is included in the Grade tab.While I am not specifically grading you on your spelling or grammar, scientific communication is an important skill. Please proofread and spellcheck before posting/submitting to ensure that your ideas come across clearly. Up to 10% may be deducted for excessive grammar and spelling errors that affect the readability of your work.Groupmate 1 - Table 1What is predicted to happen to genetic diversity in the SMM population if there is no migration? How does this compare to the genetic diversity in a population where there is one new migrant per generation?Does lack of gene flow affect the genetic diversity of the SMM population? Explain using the data in Table 1.Groupmate 2 - Table 2Give no migration, the genetic diversity of the mountain lion population in the SMM populations is projected to be 0.18. How does this compare to other mountain lion populations in Florida, California, New Mexico and Texas, and the Southwestern US?Is the genetic diversity in the SMM population low enough to be a concern now or in the future? Explain using the data in Table 2. (Hint: Look at the 'Population status' column.)Groupmate 3 - Table 3How many total passages were made by mountain lions using wildlife crossing in Banff National Park from 1997-2000?Is a wildlife crossing likely to increase migration of mountain lions into the SMM population? Explain using the data in Table 3.Groupmate 4 - Table 4How did the migration of P12 impact the genetic diversity of the SMM population? What will be the likely impact of increased migration on genetic diversity of the SMM population? Explain using the data in Table 4.
