Compare the Spring Equinox with the Winter Solstice. Justify your response in two or more complete sentences.

Trava [24]3 years ago

The biggest difference between the equinox and the solstice is that a solstice is the point during the Earth's orbit around the sun at which the sun is at the greatest distance from the equator, while during an equinox, it's at the closest distance from the equator. Because of this, one solstice is an extremely long day, and the other is an extremely short day. Comparatively, during an equinox, the days and nights are equal lengths.

To figure out what the genotypes are of the parents, you have to look at their what?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Each parent carries a gene for green (y) and a gene for yellow (Y). Place one parent's genes along the top of the Punnett square and the other parent's genes along the left side. Copy the genes down the columns and across the rows. Each of the four squares now shows a possible genotype combination

omeli [17]
The tiny structures  inside of cells, such as Ribosomes or chloroplasts that have specialized roles are called organelles. These structures are found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and are enclosed with a membrane. These tiny structures are not present in prokaryotes like in bacteria.

The word that means of lesser rank is _____.
Aleks04 [339]
The word that means of lesser rank is called subordinate. Anyone that is rank lower or below another employee by seniority or position in the office is called a subordinate. In business ethics, a subordinate must respect and obey his/her boss or superior. He/she also takes orders and instructions from the boss in order to carry out a task as asked by the boss. The subordinates are those employees that serve as the hands of the company because they are the ones who worked so hard for the achievement of the company's goals and visions.

Populations of the grasshopper Vandiemenella viatica possess different chromosomal fusions and inversions. Grasshoppers that are
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The options

a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness

b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance

c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness

d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance

e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift

The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance

Explanation:

In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.

It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)

of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.

Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
