Larger cells have slower diffusion rates.

This is because the ratio of;
 
surface area of a cell : volume of a cell

Decreases with size, as volume increases exponentially with respect to surface area.

We might consider that;

Surface area = X²,
<em>Volume        = X</em>³

As X increases, X² : X³ decreases.

So large cells have more trouble with diffusion.

In Whitetail deer, there is a gene for coat color. Brown coats (B) are
ahrayia [7]

Answer: All of the offspring are brown. The chances of getting a brown deer is 100%.

Explanation: The buck is homozygous dominant, meaning he has two of the brown (B) allele. The doe is white, and since the allele for a white coat is recessive, it has to have two white (b) alleles.

Set up a Punnett square with BB on one side and bb on the other. The results of this are 4 offspring all with the genotype Bb. Because brown (B) is dominant, all of them are brown.

To find the chance of getting a brown deer, take the number of brown deer (4) and divide it by the total number of outcomes (4). This gets you 4/4 or 1. As a percent, that would equal 100%.

Complete the sentence: Ecosystem distribution
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

<em>Hypotheses may vary. Most students will probably state that ecosystems at </em>

<em>high altitudes will support little vegetation. </em>

Explanation:

Ecosystem distribution is different at different places. Regions at high elevations might usually have low varieties of plants and animals but it cannot be true for every ecosystem located as higher altitudes.

Some communities might be well adapted to live in the cold and hence progress rapidly.
