Answer:

Genotype of long winged fly is Ll

Genotype of short winged fly is ll

Explanation:

Given

Allele for long wing trait is "L"

Allele for short wing trait is "l"

When a long winged fly is crossed with a short winged fly, half of the offspring have long wings and other half have short wings as the ratio is 1:1

Let us say that the genotype of long winged fly is Ll

and the genotype of short winged fly is ll

The cross between the two will produce following offspring

Ll * ll

Ll, Ll, ll, ll

Out of four off spring two have long wings (Ll)

and the other two have short wings (ll)

Thus the ration of long to short wing offspring is 2:2 i.e 1:1

Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation: question 11 options: are the best way to preserve an area's
hoa [83]
<span>Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation </span>are the best way to preserve an area's diversity.
The World Wildlife Fund says that the conservation strategies that focus on ecosystems for preservation have an impact on preserving and area's diversity because it is a complete, healthy ecosystem, filled with all that is part of it, that will maintain the diversity of its area - for example, if a species of a tree from a certain ecosystem was to be extinct, not only that species would disappear, reducing already by itself the diversity of the area, but it would also affect other species taking them probably also to eventual extinction, once more reducing the diversity of the area.

If a healthy 6-year-old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella
Valentin [98]

Administer varicella vaccine to the health 6-year old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella 2 days ago.

Explanation:

It is seen that if a child receives varicella vaccine between 3 to 5 days of exposure, he is safe as disease will not appear in him and would be saved for future infections.

Varicella vaccine is given for prevention against small pox. It is expected once immunised with varicella body will produce antibodies for a span of twenty years or more.

Pea plant clones are given different amounts of water for a three week period.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

independent variable: the different amount of water

Explanation:

The independent variable would be the <u>different amount of water supplied to the pea plant clones.</u>

<em>The independent variable is the variable inputted by the researcher during an experiment whose value directly affects the dependent variable. It is the variable that is manipulated during experiments in order to see the kind of effects they produce on another variable - the dependent variable.</em>

In this case, <u>the amount of water supplied to each pea plant would directly affect the height of the pea plants.</u> Hence, the amount of water supplied to the pea plants is the independent variable while the height of the plants is the dependent variable.
