Modern cetaceans, the taxonomic group that includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises, evolved from land mammals. However, it has

only been within the past few decades that transitional fossils have been found that have shed light on cetacean hindlimb reduction. DNA data suggest that cetaceans are most closely related to Hippos, which are even-toed ungulates. Other even-toed ungulates include deer, pigs, camels, and cows. Which statement describes most accurately how the early cetacean,Pakicetus, fossil ankle bones shown in the figure supports the hypothesis that cetaceans are closely related to even-toed ungulates?

Bacterial infections and viral infections progress through an identical sequence of events during the immune response. bacterial
Vaselesa [24]
The statement above is FALSE.
There are differences in the complex interactions that are formed with the host's system when a bacterial or viral infection occur and the two types of infection do not progress through similar sequences of events during immune response. The body system usually react to disease causing bacteria by increasing the local blood flow and signalling appropriate cells to attack the bacteria. For virus, virus are usually very adaptive to their host's system and therefore are very good at escaping the immune system. The body system has put in place many mechanisms to prevent this. The specific sequence of immune response depend on the type of virus and its interaction with the host cells.

Punnett square are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.
