The food goes down your throat to the stomach which the acid melts it down to energy which is traveled through you intestines, then out your private parts..

Hope it helps :)

Hi,
The food is chewed and grinned up from the teeth and broken down from saliva, then the epiglottis shuts covering the trachea allowing food to travel
down the esophagus, once it travels down it reaches the stomach which is mechanically and chemically broken down from the stomach muscles and the hydrochloric acid. Then it goes into small intestine, then the large intestine where it is determined to be a solid, liquid, or gas and the liquid is normally drained out causing it to be solid, Then it is eventually stored in the rectum and released through the anus. There are three helping organs the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas which produce the digestive enzymes but arent part of the digestive tract,

Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment and how the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio among the F2 of a dihybrid cross provides ev

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a parental generation of a cross between two pure lines (homozygous for both genes) with different traits, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (yellow and round), and genotypically heterozygous (YyRr).

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another, we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.

Describe the theory of Alkaline Vents. What do you think about this? What is one major piece of evidence to support this theory?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The theory of Alkaline Vents theorizes that life originated deep under the sea around hydrothermal vents. This could be likely because these vents provide plentiful methane and ammonia. Critics, however, point out that high temperatures are not conducive to organic life.
