Answer:

Marine debris consists of most anything used and discarded by humans. Winds, rivers and storms can carry this debris to the ocean from far inland, so it is not solely a case of pollution along shorelines.

Marine debris is defined as any man-made solid material that goes into waterways either directly or indirectly. Eighty percent of the marine debris comes from the land-based sources. Examples of marine debris are soda cans, plastic bag, cigarette waste. Anything that ends up in a water body that has a potential in harming the marine life is a marine debris.

ycow [4]

Answer: Liver

Glucose is the most important fuel source for the body, specifically the brain. It is absorbed through the mucosal lining into the epithelial cells of the intestine by active transport via sodium-dependent hexose transporter. From the epithelial cells, glucose is moved into the surrounding capillaries by facilitated diffusion into the liver. Once in the liver, glucose is stored as glycogen.

Given the parents AABBCc × AabbCc, assume simple dominance for each trait and independent assortment. What proportion of the pro

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

If we assume simple dominance and independent assortment for each trait, we can use Mendel's Law of Segregation to predict the phenotypic proportions in the offspring of the parental cross AABBCc x AabbCc.

AA x Aa

F1 genotypes: 1/2 AA, 1/2 Aa
F1 phenotypes: all A

BB x bb

F1 genotypes: 1 Bb
F1 phenotypes: all B

Cc x Cc

F1 genotypes: 1/4 CC, 2/4 Cc, 1/4 cc
F1 phenotypes: 3/4 C, 1/4 cc

We want to know the proportion of progeny with all dominant phenotype (A_B_C_). Since the genes are independent, we can multiply the probabilities of each gene to obtain the overall probability of having a ABC progeny:
