Answer:

Endocytosis is a form of active transport hence require enegry powered by ATP. The amoeba needs to change shape and engulf and envaginate the particle and then use vessicle transportation to get the materials into the cell. This requires that the cytoskeleton - composed of tubules and filaments - contracts and relax accordingly. This requires energy by ATPs just like the myosin and actin of muscle.

Phagocytosis, another form of endocytosis, is used by some cells such as immune cells to engulf foreign material and then destroy them by use of lysozymes. This is how phagocytes protect the body from invaders.

What evidence have you discovered to explain how Mendel’s experiments showed that traits in offspring are inherited?

Leto [7]

Answer:PLZ MARK ME THE BRANISET

By examining large sample sizes, Mendel showed that his crosses behaved reproducibly according to the laws of probability, and that the traits were inherited as independent events. Two rules in probability can be used to find the expected proportions of offspring of different traits from different crosses.

To find the probability of two or more independent events occurring together, apply the product rule and multiply the probabilities of the individual events. The use of the word “and” suggests the appropriate application of the product rule. To find the probability of two or more events occurring in combination, apply the sum rule and add their individual probabilities together. The use of the word “or” suggests the appropriate application of the sum rule.

1. Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently

maria [59]

Answer:

a. 1/64 AATTDD

b. 1/64 aattdd

c. 8/64=1/8 AaTtDd

d. 2/64 = 1/32 AATTDd or aattDd or AAttDd or aaTTDd

Explanation:

Available data:

Flower position: Axial (A) is dominant to Terminal (a)

Stem length: Tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t)

Seed shape: Round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r)

Cross:

Parental) AaTtDd x AaTtDd

Knowing that these four genes assort independently, then we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

AA= 1/4

Aa =2/4

aa = 1/4

TT = 1/4

Tt = 2/4

tt = 1/4

DD = 1/4

Dd = 2/4

dd = 1/4

This is the same as developing a Punnett square for each gene separately.

Knowing this, to get each of the mentioned genotypes for each trait, we must multiply their respective genotypic proportions, like this:

a. homozygous for the three dominant traits, AATTDD

AA1/4 x TT 1/4 x DD 1/4 = AATTDD 1/64

b. homozygous for the three recessive traits, aattdd

aa 1/4 x tt 1/4 x dd 1/4 = aattdd 1/64

c. heterozygous for all three characters, AaTtDd

Aa 2/4 x Tt 2/4 x Dd 2/4 = AaTtDd 8/16=1/8

d. homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape. There are four possibilities, all of them with the same result:

AATTDd --> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aattDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

AAttDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

aaTTDd ---> 1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 = 2/64=1/32

Solid, crystal-like substances that are formed in the kidneys due to not drinking enough water or high levels of protein, sodium

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is - stones.

Explanation:

Kidney stones are medically called renal calculi or urolithiasis. These are normally hard and very small minerals and salts made stones that deposites inside your kidneys. Kidney stones can be formed due to several reasons such as an unhealthy diet with higher salt, soda, and sugar constituents, high dose of minerals, dehydration, or less drinking water

To decrease the risk of forming kidney stones or if one is experiencing kidney stone should drink enough water which helps to remove formed or forming deposits of minerals.
