Lostsunrise [7]

The correct answer is - d. large paws.

The animals in the taiga biome have special adaptations in order to be able to live in this cruel environment, and of their trademarks are the large paws. Because for most of the year the taiga is covered with ice and snow, the animals developed large paws so that the pressure from their body weight can be more evenly distributed so that they can move freely through the snow and sink their legs deep into it. Also, the size of the paws enables for more hair to grow between their toes, as well as to develop an extra layer, and that is with the purpose of avoiding the freezing of their legs.

Which two genes in the diagram are most likely to be separated during a crossover event? a. Black body and reduced bristles c. A

slega [8]

The correct answer is C : <span>Aristaless and speck wing

As you can see in the diagram presented below, the two genes are on the same chromosome, but they are very far apart from each other.

Why is this important?
Genes on the same chromosome can be separated in a process called the crossing-over. The crossing over is a process that occurs in meiosis in which the two homologous chromosomes randomly exchange parts of their sequence. The farther apart the two genes are on the chromosome, the more likely is that during crossing over they will be separated. Likewise, the closer the two genes are the more likely it is that they will cross-over to the other chromosome together.</span>

Should water be included in the model as a reactant or product? if so, how should it be included?

solong [7]

Water be included in the model as a reactant and a product

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactants are the one that react together in a chemical equation. The product is the result formed due to the chemical reaction occurring between the reactants.
For example if natural gas is burnt the methane and the oxygen are the reactants. The product produced due to the chemical reaction is Carbon dioxide and water as the product.
For the production of ADP water acts with ATP to reduce Triphosphate to diphosphate. In this, it is the reactant and in chemical reaction the bonds are broken between the atoms and new bonds are produced between the products.
