What is the likely long-term consequence of an increase in the relative percent of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?
kvv77 [185]

Correct answer: A). Earth’s average temperature will increase.

Green house gases are those gases, which are present in the air that have the ability to trap heat of the earth's surface. Gases like carbon dioxide and methane are  known to be found naturally play an important role in earth's climate. If they are not found the earth' s climate would be too cold creating problem for survival of life on the earth.

They absorb and emit the radiation in the thermal infrared range. These gases act like a blanket and save earth surface from infrared radiation by absorbing them and prevent them from escaping out of the earth surface.

But due to increased in the concentration of green house gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the environment due to pollution and deforestation is causing a great problem, which result in a global warming, which is a great concern for all the people on the planet. It will increase the annual global temperature which will result in the melting of glaciers. So, the issue of global warming should be taken seriously and adequate measure should be taken to control it.

Assuming a typical monohybrid cross in which one allele is completely dominant to the other, what phenotypic ratio is expected i
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Assuming the dominant allele is represented as A, and the genotype as AA and the recessive as a, and genotype as aa; then the F1 will produce the offispring. Aa, Aa, Aa,Aa in ratio: 1:1:1:1:1

This shows the dominance of allele A.

However if two of  the F1 generation are crossed then:

The  F2 is AA,Aa,Aa,aa the phenotypic ratio is

                        3   ;     1

W<u>hile the Genotypic ratio is ratio;</u>

<u>   1AA : 2Aa Aa; 1aa(1 ;2;1)</u>

The disease bullous pemphigoid results in the destruction of proteins within the basement membrane that holds the epidermis and
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.

in a certain fish, blue scales (BB) and red scales (bb) are codominant. when a fish has the hybrid genotype, it has patchwork of
Lena [83]

Answer:

BB is blue

bb is red

Bb is patchwork

Explanation:

It can't really be codominant since lowercase letters are recessive, and condomance needs 2 dominant alleles of a different types. So really it should be BB for blue, RR for red and BR for patchwork...
