Before the animal is harmed they spray to keep the predator away 
Goryan [66]3 years ago
3 0

ANSWER:

The correct answer is Spray can turn a predator away before an individual is harmed.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Male skunks may battle about females, splashing each other all the while, and female skunks may shower guys they don't care for. With expanded movement, skunks are likewise coming into contact with risks all the more as often as possible, and utilizing that toxic shower is the skunk's essential (and for all intents and purposes just) guard instrument.  

The bitter frothy shower that leaves an uncommon organ found simply inside the butt-centric region is so toxic it will leave predators speechless. Luckily, these impassive critters give guidance ahead of time of their expectation and won't squander their liquids except if they have a generally excellent explanation behind it.

In the F<span>1 </span>generation of a Mendelian cross,
only the dominant trait is visible.only the recessive trait is visible.neither the dominant nor recessive trait is visible.<span>both the dominant and recessive traits are visible.

-I believe the correct answer is "ONLY THE DOMINANT TRAIT IS VISIBLE" in F1 generation, it is when the two true breeds, both homo (same genes) cross for example, HH and hh, since H will always be present in a punnet square, the answer is ONLY THE DOMINANT TRAIT IS VISIBLE. key word VISIBLE, the dominant trait is H</span>

What’s the relationship between time and urease activity
Strike441 [17]
Specifically, urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to produce ammonia and carbamate, the carbamate produced is subsequently degraded by means of spontaneous hydrolysis to produce another molecule of ammonia and carbonic acid. [1] Urease activity tends to increase the pH of the medium in which it is due to the production of ammonia. It is produced by bacteria, fungi and several higher plants. Urease, functionally, belongs to the superfamily of amidohydrolases and phosphotriesterases. [2]

Barred feather pattern is a Z-linked dominant trait in chickens. What offspring would you expect from (a) the cross of a barred
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Let the "barred" allele be caller B and the "non-white" allele b. Since chickens use chromosomes Z  and W to determine sex, hens would have chromosomes ZW, and roosters would have chromosomes ZZ. A Z-linked gene is represented as a superscript on the Z chromosome, Z^{B} for the dominant allele and Z^{b} for the ressesive allele.

A barred hen would have a copy of B on its Z chromosome, a non-barred rooster would have both copies of b on both Z chromosomes. Using Punnet squares to represent the crosses we get the following cases:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{B} & W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of two barred heterozygote roosters to two non-barred hens. Crossing them we get:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{b} & W \\ \ Z^{B} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{B}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{b}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of one barred heterozygote rooster to one barred hen to one non-barred rooster to one non barred hen.
