Since they have no predators the zebra mussel population will grow rapidly. Whatever the zebra mussels consume will have a major decrease in population since there are so many zebra mussels.

<span>Healing wounds, especially full-thickness wounds, require an adequate supply of nutrients. Wounds require calories, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, and adequate fluid intake. Calories provide energy for all cellular activity, and when in short supply in the diet, the body will utilize stored fat and protein.Sufficient dietary calories maintain padding and ensure that dietary protein and fats are available for use in wound healing. In addition, adequate levels of protein are necessary for repair and replacement of tissue. Increased protein intake is particularly important for wounds where there is significant tissue loss requiring the production of large amounts of connective tissue.</span>

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

D) B/b;S/s (x) b/b;s/s

Explanation:

Parent 1 : belted syndactylous sow

Since it is showing dominant phenotype for both the traits, it can either be BBSS or BbSs

Parent 2: unbelted cloven-hoofed

Since it is showing recessive phenotype for both the traits, it can only have bbss genotype

If we assume parent 1 to be BBSS all the resulting progeny with bbss will have dominant phenotype which is not the case.

If we assume parent 1 to be BbSs:

BbSs X bbss =

BbSs : belted syndactylous

bbSs : unbelted syndactylous

Bbss : belted cloven

bbss : unbelted cloven

The progeny will be produced in 1:1:1:1 ratio which means that each of them will make 25% of the population.

Hence, parent 1 will have BbSs genotype and parent 2 will have bbss genotype
