Answer:

The process by which activities are initiated, coordinated and progress to meet the physical or psychological needs of an individual is known as <u>Motivation</u>

Needs the request for essential materials or resources which are paramount for organisms survival and existence. examples of theses Materials are -water, air.

Drives:The possession of basic needs by an organism, causes physiological and physical arousal that prompts the organism to behave in a such a way to achieved these basic needs thus defusing the tension.

The maintenance of relatively constant internal environments of an organism is called Homeostasis. It is a natural compensatory mechanisms of multi-cellular organisms which maintains fluctuations in physiological mechanisms of the body.

What type of cellular transport is the diffusion of water, active or passive?

Dominik [7]

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable (or differentially permeable or selectively permeable) membrane. The cell membrane, along with such things as dialysis tubing and cellulose acetate sausage casing, is such a membrane. The presence of a solute decreases the water potential of a substance.

What is the purpose of an antibody? Group of answer choices to stick to an antigen, alerting your body of the presence of a fore

Alexandra [31]

Answer: Antibodies are proteins that are found in the body on the surface of red blood cells and in the blood plasma ,they are very sensitive to foreign bodies and bad viruses and bacteria,when they notice the presence of anything that poses harm or a threat to the body system,they track it down and fight/destroy it.

Antibodies also play crucial role in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) in the sense that when the body is wounded or when someone gets a cut antibodies that are found in the plasma and some substances found in the platelets are released to play a role in sending signal to the blood clotting factors in the blood to be released to arrest the bleeding and prevent the person from bleeding out their entire blood.

A species of salamander has two tail length phenotypes. Short tails are completely dominant over long tails. A scientists crosse

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.

Explanation:

The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.

If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.
