Answer: sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation: While sleeping, the dolphin shuts down only half of its brain together with the opposite eye while the other half of the brain stays awake at a minimum level of alertness. It uses its attentive side to watch for predators or obstacles. The dolphin also reverses this process to rest the active side of the brain and awake the rested half.

Answer:

They sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation:

Dolphins are different from fishes that can breathe underwater.

It is necessary for them to get to the surface of the water at intervals to breathe air.

While sleeping, dolphins allows one hemisphere of their brains fall asleep while the other half is fully conscious. This means that If the left brain is sleeping, the right eye stays open and if the right brain is sleeping, the left eye stays open.

This happens so they always know when it's time to surface and breathe and when to escape when there is trouble.

A cross between a red flower and a white flower produces red and white spotted flowers. Which type of inheritance pattern is ind
Nutka1998 [239]
The correct answer is codominance.

Codominance is when the alleles of a gene, in a heterozygote organism, are not fully expressed. In this case, either red or white fully dominates but they still manifest that they are present in the flower.
Do not get confused with incomplete dominance because that would result in a pink flower.

Verdich [7]

Answer: The carbon dioxide is the output and oxygen is the input of the Scuba apparatus.

Explanation:

The scuba apparatus is a life saving apparatus used by the sea divers. It recycles the exhaled gas and removes the carbon dioxide and compensates for the utilized oxygen gas before the diver is actually supplied with the gas for the purpose of breathing in a circuit. Hence, the carbon dioxide gas is the output and the oxygen is the input.
