A cousin who has been traveling overseas sneaks a plant through customs (who help along with the USDA, help to prevent invasive

species) wants to plant this plant in their backyard. What would you say to them to discourage them from doing so? Please facts and scientific reasoning to convince them not to and to destroy the plant.

Answer and Explanation:

Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.

In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:

- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out

- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off

- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well

- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem

Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.

If t=talk and t= short what will be the physical appearance of the offspring in the cross
qwelly [4]

Answer:

If T=tall and t=short, what will be the physical appearance of the offspring in the cross?

Explanation:

It looks like your question is incomplete, so I'll try to fill in the blanks.

The offspring will depend on the parents.  Each parent will need two alleles, so each parent would have to be TT (tall), Tt (tall) or tt (short--this is the only way to have a short individual).

Here are all the possible crosses:

TT X TT  = 100% TT (all tall)

TT X Tt = 50% TT, 50% Tt (all tall)

TT X tt = 100% Tt (all tall)

Tt X Tt = 25% TT (tall), 50% Tt (tall), 25% tt (short)

tt X tt = 100% tt (short)

Note that if there is a T present in the genotype (TT or Tt), that individual will be tall.  The only way to produce short offspring is for the both parents to have a copy of the short allele (t).

How can we predict which elements are reactive under normal conditions and which are unreactive?​
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We can predict or comment about reactivity of elements by taking into consideration their electronic configuration that imparts stability or un-stability to an atom.

Explanation:

Reactivity : It refers to the affinity of a substance to combine with other substance .

Elements are mainly of two types :

  • Metals and Non metals

In terms of metals or non metals it can be defined as tendency to loose or gain electrons .

  • On the basis of it ,we can easily make out or comment about the reactivity of element (metal or non metal ) .Like ,if an element has completely filled outermost shell or we can say have stable electronic configuration then it is already stable .Therefore , it won't react with any other element .
  • But, if its outer shell isn't complete then in order to attain stability it will combine or react with other .Hence , we can say it will be quite reactive .
