If the image contains life forms and living things, then it is the biosphere.
If the image contains frozen water bodies, such as the arctic tundra, it is the cryosphere.
If the image contains soil and other solid abiotic components of the Earth, then it is the geosphere.
If the image contains water in the liquid form, then it is the hydrosphere.
Answer:
4 possible combinations of gametes
Explanation:
The animal is considered an heterozygotic dihybrid because it involves two genes that have different alleles for both genes. The dihybrid animal undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. According to Mendel in his laws of segregation and independent assortment, the alleles of the two genes separate into gametes independently of one another to produce 4 types of gametes.
Number of possible combinations of gametes formed by an heterozygote can be determined by using 2^n, where n is the number of characters. Number of characters or genes involved in this case is 2, Hence, 2^2 = 4 gametes.
The allelic combination in the four gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.
Write in your own words:
"Since the mouse is an endotherm, it probably has a higher metabolic rate, and thus a faster growth rate, than the lizard (an ectotherm of similar size) does. If the mouse has a faster growth rate, its bones would grow more between each ring, resulting in wider bone rings."
: )
and remember that a mouse is a endotherm because it generates metabolic heat to maintain internal body temperature.
