phoresy - a relationship between two or more organisms of different

species in which one benefits and the other is harmed

monogamy - having one mate for a whole life span

mutualism - a symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which

both species receive some type of benefit

polyandry - when females mate with multiple males

polygyny - when males mate with multiple females

parasitism - a relationship between two or more organisms of different

species in which one benefits and the other is harmed

<h2>Symbiosis</h2>

Symbiosis is the name given to any close and long-term interaction between two different species.

This interaction can be beneficial to one part only and harmful to the other (parasitism), it can be beneficial to all parts (mutualism), or it can benefit one part without influencing neither positively nor negatively the other (commensalism).

A mating system refers to how a group is organized in terms of sexual behavior. When it comes to animals, the phrase refers to which males and females mate when certain conditions are met. Monogamy, polygamy (including polygyny, polyandry, and polygynandry), and promiscuity are all recognized systems that lead to various mate choice outcomes and so influence how sexual selection operates in the species that practice them.

Why is Catalase important to the body?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Catalase behaves as a catalyst for the conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Explanation:

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme that plays a very important role in the protection against oxidative damage by breaking down hydrogen peroxide. It is a very highly conserved enzyme that has been identified from numerous species including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.

Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all known enzymes (40,000,000 molecules/second). This high rate shows an importance for the enzymes capability for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide and preventing the formation of carbon dioxide bubbles in the blood.

The information in the table shows the possible genotypes resulting from the mating of two heterozygotes aadd. the allele a code

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Admitting that the "a" is a capital A for normal pigmentation and "d" is a capital D for dimpled chin, meaning that these are the dominant traits, the fraction expected to be albino with a non-dimpled chin is of 1/16.
When two heterozygous are crossed and two characteristics are being analysed, the offspring quantity that will possess the two recessive traits can be represented by 1/16. This is easily confirmed when a Punnett square is made. Considering that both parents were heterozygous, on both sides of the crossing in the Punnett square, you would have the following alleles' combination: AD, Ad, aD, and ad. The offspring that would be homozygous recessive (aadd) would correspond to only 1/16.
