A population of rabbits inhabits an island that has an active volcano. The volcano erupted and covered the island destroying mos

crimeas [40]

The population of rabbits on the volcanic island in big portion will dye out, some as a direct consequence from the volcanic eruption, and some because of the lack of food resources. Because the food will be much more scarce, the rabbits will become much smaller, thus needing less food, and also the reproduction process will be much slower and delayed, and as the island recovers from the eruption, the small remaining population of rabbits will start adapting on the new food sources. Once the rabbits are adapted to the new food resources their population will start rising again.

In which situation would osmosis most likely occur

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Osmosis occurs until the concentration gradient of water goes to zero or until the hydrostatic pressure of the water balances the osmotic pressure. Osmosis occurs when there is a concentration gradient of a solute within a solution, but the membrane does not allow diffusion of the solute.

2.Which of the following represents a genetic cross between 2 individuals that are each heterozygous for both traits?

wariber [46]

Answer:

A. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

The term heterozygous refers to the presence of two different alleles of same gene in an organism. The one allele can be of wild type (original type) and one can be mutated or newly formed.

In the question, two traits are represented by two letters, A and B and alleles as A and a and B and b, respectively. We are asked about a cross involving two traits and two individuals in such a way that both are heterozygous.

If we look at option A, AaBb x AaBb,

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in heterozygous form (Aa and Bb) in both individuals.

If we look at option B. AABB x AABB

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in homozygous form form (AA and BB) in both individuals. Homozygous means when the alleles are same for each trait in an individual.

If we look at option C,Aa x Bb

There are not two traits, one trait of one individual and other trait of other individual is being crossed that is not possible.

If we look at option D. AAaa x BBbb

Again, the individuals are homozygous for two traits.

Therefore, A is best option.

Hope it helps!

The potato placed in vinegar produced _________.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Most living tissue contains catalase. We can use potatoes to help see catalase work because bubbles of oxygen form when we put potatoes into hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation:

As catalase decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, bubbles of oxygen collect on the disk. When the density of the combined paper/enzyme/O2 is less than the solution the disc will rise to the surface.
