1 answer:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

Pruning is the process by which unused connections between neurons are eliminated. This has been studied and scientists believe this process takes place in order to get rid of any damaged or degraded neurons, allowing specific areas of the brain to improve their networking ability. Which is why it is a big area of study in regards to child development.

Q:- In dogs, the Mexican hairless phenotype never breeds true. When Mexican hairless are interbred the offspring are 2/3 hairles
drek231 [11]

Explanation:

The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).

The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:

<h3>P                 H₁H₂  x  H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1    1/4 H₁H₁,  2/4 H₁H₂ and 1/4 H₂H₂.</h3>

And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?

If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).

If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:

  • The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
  • The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
  • The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0

The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.

Being able to respond to change (irritability) is one of the necessary life functions. Which body system is mostly responsible f
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The correct answer is : nervous system.

Explanation:

Irritability is one of the key aspect life which is deal with being able to response or change according to the stimuli that is occur and disturbs the homeostasis of the body which is maintaining the body environment for living.

Nervous system is deal with the irritability by sensing the stimuli in which change occur it can be physical stimuli such as temperature, light, or sound or chemical stimuli such as pH, ions, amount of required chemical or biological stimuli such microbes in body. All these stimuli are sense b the sensory neurons and then send these signals to brain or spinal cord in order t act and respond accordingly to maintain homeostasis.

Thus, the correct answer is : nervous sytem.

In a fish species, the number of eggs that hatch and survive for one year varies depending on the number of eggs that were produ
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

C. The chance of survival decreases when there is intraspecific competition for resources among surviving yearlings

Explanation:

The survival rate of the offspring of the fish species will decrease as a result of the huge number of eggs produced giving rise to overpopulation. Pressure will be on the limited available resources. As a result of this, Intraspecific competition would occur as members of the same fish species would compete for the limited resources.  

Interference and exploitation competition are two types of Intraspecific competition that can reduce the population size of the fish species.

For Interference competition, the dominant and stronger members would secure adequate supply of the limited resources to  detriment of the weaker and less dominant ones. This leads to the death of those members that are weak to compete successfully, thereby leading to a reduction in population size.

In exploitation competition, it involves all individual members of the fish species sharing the limited resources equally, while none of them gets an adequate amount. With time, a great size of the population decrease would be noticed when compared to that of Interference competition.
