Answer:

B. shaded square

Explanation:

In pedigree analysis, squares represent the males while circles represent the female individuals. Since the horse breeder wants to show the male horse who is affected by the target gene, he should represent it with a shaded square. A shaded square in pedigree represents the affected males. Unshaded squares would represent the unaffected normal males.

Why is it more common for birds to have nests with a few eggs rather than just one or a lot?
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

The large size of a egg makes it difficult for the female to retain more than a single one egg at a time - carrying eggs would make flying harder and require more energy. (Bird eggs vary in size from the tiny 0.2 gramme eggs of hummingbirds to the enormous 9 kilogram eggs of the extinct elephant bird.)

Just as an aircraft cannot fly if it is overweight, all female birds must dispense with the fertile egg as soon as it is formed. And because the egg is such a protein-rich high-nuitrition prize to all sorts of predators, birds must find a secure place to hatch their eggs. Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking. This is essential if the egg is not to crack under the weight of the sitting bird. It takes 26 pounds of pressure to break a swan's egg and 120 pounds to smash the egg of an ostrich.

Kristen cut her hand on a piece of glass. As the blood clots, how do white blood cells prevent bacteria on the glass from infect
gayaneshka [121]
So white blood cell’s(WBCs for short) main job is to fight infections.
They do this by swallowing the infection.


You see,WBCs do not have a permanent shape.this means that they enlarge and decrease size of parts of their body.So they grow two long arm like structures called pseudopodia which swallow the infection.(pseudopodia means false feet).
You can see the process in the photo I attached from google
