The sentence that best explains why the native Australian dung beetles were not doing the job is "Cow dung is not part of any native Australian species niche." The beetles in Australia had formed alongside the kangaroos and wombats. When the cattle were brought to Australia in the 1880's by European settlers, the beetles were not used to the texture of the dung. It was much different and the dung was not decomposing. Native beetles were not using this dung as a feeding source. This left the cattle not feeding in the pasture because they won't eat near the dung. This reduced the cattle grazing land.

4. Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
  • Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail

The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).

Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.

The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.

Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.

Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).

Axons from mPFC neurons synapse onto intercalated cells in the amygdala that contain the neurotransmitter __________.
sammy [17]

The medial pre Frontal Cortex neurons synapting with the intercalated cells of Amygdala contains <u>GABA</u> as the neurotransmitter.

Option a

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Amygdala has two types of nerve cells getting attached with it primarily. They are the fibres from the mPFC or medial pre Frontal Cortex and the vIPAG or ventrolateral periaqueductal grey. These neurons do have different functions on the whole body.

The fibres from the mPFC do have emotional function on the human body whereas the fibres of vIPAG do have an effect on the muscle tone . And it's seen that both the nerve fibres that are getting attached with the intercalated cells of Amygdala do secrete GABA and are inhibitory GAB Anergic in nature.

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a Lokiarchaeota cell yet?
WARRIOR [948]
It's important because we need the scientists to discover where it is. The Lokiarchaeota is a main cause for infections, and diseases, and if we identify it, and study it, we may know how to cure certain diseases, and how to prevent them.
