A pure-breeding short strain of pea produces plants that are 20-26 cm in height. A pure-breeding tall strain of pea produces pla

nts that are 46-55 cm in height. When these pure-breeding strains are crossed, the F1 plants range in height from 32 to 48 cm. Which of the following statements about phenotypic variance in height is true?A) The F1 variance is due only to genetic factors.B) The F1 variance is due only to environmental factors.C) The F1 variance is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.D) The variance in the tall parental strain is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The correct answer is: B) The F1 variance is due only to environmental factors.

According to Mendelian genetics: he crossed two purebred parents with differing traits to be sure that there were no other factors contributing to the outcome of the cross. When two purebred parents are crossed, all of the offspring should be genetically the same (heterozygous).

In the example above, we can see that there is phenotypic variance among the offspring, so we can conclude that it must be due only to environmental factors.

An animal cell lacking carbohydrates on the external surface of its plasma membrane would likely be impaired in which function?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
An animal cell lacking carbohydrates on the external surface of its plasma membrane would likely be impaired in CELL TO CELL RECOGNITION.
Carbohydrates have diverse functions, one of their functions is that they serve as a recognition signal at the surface of cells.
Carbohydrates located on the surface of cells enable cells to recognize and  communicate with one another.

Why is the sympathetic division of the ans called the "fight or flight" system?
Assoli18 [71]
The fight or flight system is a reaction that the body undergoes when put in an either stressful or frightening situation. It includes both the nervous and endocrine system. 

The sympathetic division of the peripheral nervous system is used in this response as the sympathetic nervous system works up the body, increases the rate of breathing, heart rate, dilates the pupils, produce more sweat and slow the digestion rate. This reaction happens in the flight or fight system.

Two cells have the same volume and similar shape, but one has microvilli extending from its cell membrane while the other does n
Naily [24]

be slower at absorbing nutrients than the other cell

Explanation:

The cell without the microvilli will be expected to have as slower absorption rate of nutrient than the other cell.

  • Microvilli are finger-like projections from the surface of the cell.
  • The structure has a large surface area to volume ratio which allows for nutrient to be absorbed easily.
  • These structures are very important during the absorption of digested food in cells.

Cells without this structure will not absorb food faster.

Explanation:

A. Animals have muscle tissue, whereas other living things do not.

The character that contrasts animals with other living organism is the presence of muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is exclusively found in animals and are not found in any other kingdom of the living world.

Animals and many other living things posses multiple cells. Most of the cells in organisms are with nucleus.Most of the multicellular organisms have tissue level organization of the body.
