Mecayla harvests oysters from the shallow waters of the marsh near her home. She eats the shellfish almost every day. Her brothe

r Kendis dislikes oysters but eats local predator fish from the river three times a week. Recent water quality tests show moderate levels of heavy metals in the river and marsh. What is the most likely result of this pollutant on Mecayla and Kendis if they maintain the same diet?
Mecayla will get sick first because she eats oysters every day.
Kendis will get sick first because of less bioaccumulation.
Biomagnification will cause Kendis to become ill first.
Bioaccumulation will cause Mecayla to become ill first.

Answer: Biomagnification will cause Kendis to become ill first.

Explanation: This answer is correct because Kendis is eating the predator fish and Mecayla is only eating some oysters from the shallow water. Biomagnification causes the concentration of toxins, specifically in the predator fish, therefore Kendis will become ill first.

Why do multiple and lethal alleles often result in modifications of the classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Multiple alleles can modify the classical Mendelian ratio by increasing the number of phenotypes.  

For example, in a monohybrid cross, Mendel gets only 2 phenotypes however, in ABO blood groups (a classical example of multiple alleles) there are four phenotypes present in a population.

Lethal alleles are the alleles which when expressed result in the death of an organism. These alleles can be dominant, recessive or conditional (depends on interaction with another gene).  

Thus, lethal allele reduces the ratio of the phenotype associated with it by affecting the survival of the organism.

For example, lethal yellow allele in mice results changes the phenotype ratio from 3:1 to 2:1

ou are given two true-breeding groups of rabbits. The first group has floppy ears and white fur. The second group has straight e
Lena [83]

Answer:

you expect to see that 75% of your F2 generation rabbits have floppy ears and 25% of your rabbits have black fur.

Explanation:

<u> Available data:</u>

  • Two true-breeding groups of rabbits.
  • The first group has floppy ears and white fur.
  • The second group has straight ears and black fur.
  • 100% of the F1 generation has floppy ears and gray fur.
  • Each of these traits is determined by a single gene and undergo independent assortment.

Having this information we can infer that floppy years, expressed by F allele, might be dominant over straight ears, expressed by f allele. And that the fur color is affected by incomplete dominance, being B the allele expressing black color, b the allele expressing white color and Bb the genotype for grey color.

Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles completely dominates over the other one. Descendents possess an intermediate phenotype between the two parental phenotypes and not the dominant one.

Oxygen can be made directly from ultraviolet radiation through which process?
frez [133]

Answer:

Ozone

Explanation:

In the stratosphere, ozone is created primarily by ultraviolet radiation. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen.
