Answer:

The grey seals are found in the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. They breed in several colonies on and near the coast. They exhibit coloration of blackish to whitish specks. The males are darker in skin color than in females. The pups are born with yellow and white tint. A thick layer of skin called as blubber develops around the skin of the new ones which helps in providing them with insulation against the cold atmosphere.

Grey seals breed in habitats where disturbance is kept to a minimal, like rocky shores, ice flows and islands. They feed on cold open waters. When pups are given birth in early winter or late autumn, their skins are white with yellowish tint. They are relatively helpless and rely on their mother's milk for the first few weeks after birth. They deposit a thick layer of blubber that will protect and allow them to adapt to the cold to sustain them when they will hunt for themselves.

If none of the flower colors being bred don't show dominance, it would be pink only because if one showed dominance, than it means you would see that flower and that flower color only. Mixing red with white create pink, and therefore pink would be the only type of flower to have.

In corn plants, plant height is controlled by one gene with two alleles how many alleles that control the trait for height are p

Vesna [10]

Answer: 2 alleles

The number of the allele that a gene contains could be various. The allele will determine the phenotype of the organism, so more allele means more possible combination. There is only 1 gene that control the corn height and that gene only has two alleles. So, the total allele that controls the corn height should be: 1 gene * 2 alleles/gene= 2 alleles

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

It causes the body to form antibodies that attack the new blood cells, causing them to break open and release harmful substances into the blood stream.

Explanation:

For blood transfusion to be successful, the blood group of the donor must be compatible with that of the recipient. If not, the donors red blood cells will clump in the recipients blood vessels, causing serious harm and release of harmful substances into the recipients blood stream. Usually blood used in blood transfusions contains very little of the donors plasma.

Aliun [14]

Answer: EDG

Explanation:

First, effortful processing is encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. This would be something like studying where you store facts in your mind for use later. Automatic processing on the other hand, is unconscious encoding of incidental information and of well-learned information. For example, I know what someone means immediately if they say it's noon. As for chunking, it is organizing items into familiar, manageable units. One perfect example would be my phone number. There are many different numbers, but its easier to manage when some are grouped together. Then there are mnemonics which are memory aids, especially those techniques that use vivid imagery and organizational devices. For example, I use the first letter technique (PEMDAS) to help me when solving math problems. Spaced or distributed practice is studying or processing with breaks to help understand concepts. For example, when I study, I take a five minute break every 20 minutes to help my brain cool down and be ready to learn more. Now, deep processing involves elaboration rehearsal which involves a more meaningful analysis. For example, giving meaning to different words or images and making them relatable.
