Extension Question: The research group in Sweden, studying starfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea and Pacific Ocean claimed that their research showed “between long telomeres and the level of clonality (being genetically identical to one’s parent).” Use the data from the table on page 1 and explain whether or not you agree or disagree with this statement.

Hoodmemes:

Location Number of Starfish Populations Studied Number of Genotype Variations in the Population Average Telomere Ct Value (Telomere Length) Llanca, Costa Brava (Mediterranean Sea) 17 1 .086 Taomina, Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) 15 4 .083 Bocacangrejo, Tenerife (Atlantic Ocean) 13 8 .081 Abades, Tenerife (Atlantic Ocean) 13 7 .080

QuestionCoveBot:

Screenshot of the table please?

TETSXPREME:

i dont get it?

TETSXPREME:

what is the question?

Hoodmemes:

TETSXPREME:

What is your question tho?

Hoodmemes:

i posted it

TETSXPREME:

Like what are we supposed to be figuring out?

Hoodmemes:

its in the question

QuestionCoveBot:

" explain whether or not you agree or disagree with this statement."

QuestionCoveBot:

Well Hoodmemees, do you agree/disagree with the statement?

Hoodmemes:

I dont quite understand the statement

Hoodmemes:

"between long telomeres and the level of clonality (being genetically identical to one’s parent).” " I ain't understanding how that somehow adds up to the table,I see the telomeres part in the table but how does that have a line to clonality or how is it connected?

TETSXPREME:

well look at the chart thinggy

TETSXPREME:

Telomeres-Either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome. o:

Hoodmemes:

I did I see the telomeres part but how does that even connect to one being genetically identical to a parent?

TETSXPREME:

because DNA

Hoodmemes:

But where is that on the table?

TETSXPREME:

No where

TETSXPREME:

but we are talking about sea creatures

Hoodmemes:

Then how ima come up with an opinion?

Hoodmemes:

I need this question broken down and explained.Pls

TETSXPREME:

is this the full thinggy?

Hoodmemes:

yes

Hoodmemes:

I been searching for the answer online,but a lesson plan popped up with no answers what so ever

TETSXPREME:

e.e what about page 1

TETSXPREME:

what is page 1?

Hoodmemes:

thats the chart for page 1

Hoodmemes:

it says "Use the data from the chart on page 1" sumthin like that in the question

TETSXPREME:

this is whats in page one?

1 attachment
Hoodmemes:

yes

Hoodmemes:

tahts the chart it says to use

Hoodmemes:

*thats

TETSXPREME:

could you like search them separate ?

Hoodmemes:

I tried doing all that,all I'm finding as answers is lesson plans with no answers that be like "Students shall look at page 1 and answer the multi set questions". And all definitions don't see like that connect to the question its making me more confused.

Hoodmemes:

Can anybody help me?

boredfr:

Hood do you still need the answer?

Hoodmemes:

yes

Hoodmemes:

so um are u going to try to help if not thats ok

boredfr:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Hoodmemes so um are u going to try to help if not thats ok \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Ofc I am. Well imma try to at least, I am working on it now

Hoodmemes:

oh ok thx

boredfr:

Do you have anything writen so far?

Hoodmemes:

Not really bc I don't understand how I'm going to tie the two things together in a 5 sentence paragraph explaining how telomeres and something being genetically identical to their one parent connected.

boredfr:

Ok so basically if you write 2 sentences about telomeres and 2 sentences about clonality and then if you write 1 sentences about them being similar it should be fine, can you try that and I can proof read it?

Hoodmemes:

Sure. But can u explain the connection?

boredfr:

Well look back at the results on the table real quick

Hoodmemes:

I see the telomeres part,but where is the part where its connected to being genetically identical to ones parent

boredfr:

Um ok well basically go back and analyze ir. I don't think it is a direct answer but if you analyze the table and compare the data

Hoodmemes:

But where is the (genetically identical) part on the table?

boredfr:

REEEE gimme a sec to figure out how to explain my illogical thinking

boredfr:

Ok so the closest thing to a clonyial table would be the middle section

Hoodmemes:

but that means how the genetic make up is different from the parent,I been trying to research everything on that table

boredfr:

Ok well rn I am not sure I can help you but give me an hour or two

Hoodmemes:

ook

Well, the answer to this is fairly simple. The Swedish research group is claiming that the higher the Telomere Length, the more identically similar the offsprings are to the parents. Using the chart we can agree with this statement. How? Well, reading the chart we can see that as the Telomere increases, the genotype variations decrease. Genotype is genetic structure. If the genetic structure for many variations of starfishes is similar, we can assume that the offsprings of the parents are genetically similar as well. And that is exactly what the chart is showing. Higher Telomere, less genetic variations.

ScamTheMan:

thanks bro <3

Hoodmemes:

Thx dude

Hoodmemes:

it wasnt directed to u.

Hendrixapeals:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Hoodmemes it wasnt directed to u. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Should have specified

We both are dudes yk
