<h3>Answer and explanation;</h3>

DNA is a double stranded molecule. Covalent and hydrogen bonds pray important roles in the functioning of DNA molecules.
Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the nucleotide bases, sugars, and phosphate groups occurring both within each component and between components.
Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
Hydrogen bonds helps the complementary base pairs in DNA; guanine with cytosine and adenine with thymine to connect to one another. The hydrogen bonds between these complementary pairs helps keep the two strands of DNA helix together.

How might a sudden cold front limit population growth of newborn offspring?"" HELP PLEASE

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is - they may not be able to survive at such a temperature.

Explanation:

A Cold front is a weather change when a cooler air mass moves into warmer air that leads to a sudden drop in temperature following by the cyclone, heavy rainfall and hail.

These sudden changes and heavy rain with storms and cyclones can limit the population growth of newborn offspring as they may not able to survive in such a sudden temperature drop.

Suppose that the "fabulous" phenotype is controlled by two genes, A and B, as shown in the diagram below. Allele A produces enou

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The expected ratio of the F_2 generation from F_1 generation will be

9 "fabulous": 3 "smashing": 4 "plain"

Explanation:

The expression of the phenotype will follow Mendel's Dihybrid cross.

plain→smashing

(only when allele A is present, which produces Enzyme 1)

smashing→fabulous

(only when allele B is present, which produces Enzyme 2)

Keeping the above statements in mind, in F_2 generation, only the genotypes having both A and B alleles will express phenotype "fabulous",as both Enzyme 1 and Enzyme 2 are required for that. The genotype having at-least one A allele and no B allele will produce the phenotype "smashing", as Enzyme 1,produced by allele A, will convert "plain" into "smashing". Hence, the dihybrid cross will as in the attachment.
