Answer:

The tasting allele is dominant.

Explanation:

  • The law of dominance states that the dominant allele will always express itself in homozygous or heterozygous conditions.
  • While, the recessive allele Can express itself only in Homozygous recessive condition.
  • The phenotypic ratio in case of monohybrid cross is 3:1 where i.e , about 3 out of every four offspring tends to express the dominant trait.
  • According to the given statistics,80% of the population can taste PTC and 20 % cannot.
  • Thus The tasting allele is  a dominant allele.

How many items is the brain capable of recording each day?
choli [55]
There is no defined limit on the capacity of the brain. The brain's capacity cannot be measured as it is not subject to a defined "space" where the memory is kept, and it is not such that each neuron is responsible for a single memory. The brain has complex mechanisms of memory storage, that even improve if trained.

Select the correct statement about plant life cycles.

The right answer is A.

Meiosis is an important process in many organisms:

In angiosperms, plants with flowers, meiosis occurs for the production of cells of pollen grains (gametes, haploid cells).

In animals, meiosis is important because it is the mechanism of gametogenesis that produces eggs (oogenesis) and sperm (spermatogenesis).

In the fungi, meiosis produces spores, which by mitosis will give a haploid generation.

The cilia lining the upper respiratory passages (superior to the larynx) beat inferiorly, whereas as the cilia lining the lower
Anton [14]

Answer:

The cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus  down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the  lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.

Explanation:

Through the internal nares, the air enters nasopharynx from the nasal cavity. This air has dust-laden mucus. The nasopharynx is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. These cilia move the mucus down toward the most inferior part of the pharynx. The lining of the larynx inferior to the vocal folds is made up of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium and have ciliated columnar cells, goblet cells, and basal cells.

The goblet cells serve to produce and secrete mucus. The mucus from goblet cells helps trap dust that was not removed in the upper passages. Therefore, the cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus and trapped particles down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.
