Why is bioaccumulation dangerous to top carnivores?

1 answer:

5 0

The top predators at the end of a long food chain, such as lake trout, large salmon, and fish-eating gulls, may accumulate concentrations of toxic chemicals (caused by bioaccumulation) high enough to cause serious deformities or worse, death.

I hope this helps you and have a great day!! :)

Why is scientific knowledge more reliable than other types of knowledge?

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

D. Because science only uses facts that are proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Explanation:

All the knowledge we read is science books are not merely some observed facts but the result of a systematic scientific methodology through which facts are tested. Science only gives us that knowledge as facts which is proven 100% true through the use of variables.For example: if a scientist has studied the effect of salt stress on the growth of plants and he got the results in form of graphs which show that growth of salt treated plants in very less than normal plants. Then he needs to draw conclusion after consulting relevant previous experiments and say that salt stress hinders growth and why? with reasonable logic.

Variables are the things hat he changes like environmental conditions in previous example to see that in changed conditions plant is showing changed behavior. This way a scientist strengthens his results. Therefore, we can say that whatever knowledge we get through science is proven 100% true through the use of variables.

Hope it helps!

(c) Based on the data in Table 1, describe why the dominant alleles for body color and wing shape are the alleles that produce a

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Consider the below table of F2 data of phenotypic flies: we can reconstruct the table as seen in the second attached image below:

From the above observations it is clear the Gray body long wings and Ebony body vestigial wings are the parental combinations and that the Gray body vestigial wings and Ebony body long wings are the recombinants.

Also the ratio indicates that Gray body is dominant over ebony body and that long wings is dominant over vestigial wings.

here the genes for the two characters have shown independent assortment which means that the genes are unlinked if located on the same chromosome or are located on different chromosomes.

Now F1 hybrid= GgLl (G for Grey and L for Long)

Cross between F1 hybrid and true breeding Gray vestigial (GGll)

GgLl x GG ll

Gametes-----------> GL Gl gL gl Gl

GL Gl gL gl

Gl GGLl GGll GgLl Ggll

(Gray long) (Gray vestigial) (gray Long) (Gray vestigial)

Therefore the probability of getting the flies with gray body vestigial wings= 2/4= 50%

b) The reason why the students obtained the above given F2 results involving a cross between true breeding Gray body and long wings with true breeding Ebony body and vestigial wings is that the genes for the two charcters asssort independently in F2 generation and that the genes are not linked as:

Parents------------------> GGLL x ggll

Gametes -----------------> GL gl

F1---------------------> GgLl (Gray long but in heterozous condition)

Now GgLl x GgLl

Gametes GL Gl gL gl GL Gl gL gl

Here gametes assorted independently and hence in F2 generation we got the above results (U can show the results in the form of punnett square.

Based on her pre-pregnancy weight, if she is carrying a single baby, how much weight should sadie gain during her pregnancy?

fomenos

The number of weight gained in pregnancy should be different based on the BMI. Assuming Sadie BMI is 25-29.9kg/m2 then the normal weight gain for single pregnancy would be 15 to 25lbs.
Higher BMI will cause the normal weight gain become lower. For BMI >30kg/m2 normal weight gain would be 11-20lbs
