Answer:

The salivation was significant because it demonstrated the ability to learn to anticipate future events as a survival advantage.

Explanation:

Pavlov wanted to clarify how conditioned reflexes were acquired. Dogs naturally salivate for food; Pavlov thus called the correlation between the unconditioned stimulus (food) and the unconditioned response (salivation) an unconditioned reflex. On the other hand, when a stimulus does not elicit any response, it is called a neutral stimulus (bell sound).

Pavlov's experiment was to associate an unconditioned stimulus (food) with the presentation of a neutral stimulus (bell sound).

After repeating this association of stimuli, he found that the dog learned to salivate before the stimulus that previously did not elicit any (neutral) response even in the absence of the unconditioned stimulus (food). This salivation was significant because it demonstrated the ability to learn to anticipate future events as a survival advantage.

A conditioned stimulus when paired with a bell. When the bell was rang food was presented. So upon hearing the bell the dog would salivate because he knew simply put food would then follow. This became known as classical conditioning.

Write a list of easy starter pets for kids. (yes this is a real question I have an extracurricular class)
mart [117]

Answer:

Any pet that isn't dangerous (ex: snake isn't the best idea) and can be taken care of by a child. So, a fish would be good because it doesn't need to be walked and doesn't need much attention, just to be fed, which the child can do safely. So just make a list of other easy pets like that :)

Explanation:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Hello!

From an AaBb genotype we can obtain four possible gametes AB, Ab, aB and ab.  With the Punnett square we can observe the crossing.  In the second Punnett square we can see the form A– B–

AB          Ab           aB          ab

AB AABB AABb AaBB AaBb

Ab AABb AAbb AaBb Aabb

aB AaBB AaBb aaBB aaBb

ab AaBb Aabb aaBb aabb

AB          Ab          aB          ab

AB A-B-  A-B-  A-B-  A-B-

Ab A-B-  A-bb A-B-        A-bb

aB A-B-  A-B-  aaB- aaB-

ab A-B-  A-bb aaB- aabb

The genotypes of the form A– B–, A– bb and aa B– have triangular seed capsules (15 of 16), while the seed capsules of the aa bb genotypes are ovoid (1 of 16).
