Drinking Salt water would dehydrate you making you more thirsty and eventually you'd die. You could desalinate small amounts of water by distillation with the appropriate tools all you'd need to do is heat the salt water and catch the vapor/steam in a different container. This could be done slowly using heat from the sun and clear plastic water bottles if no other heat sources are available. the salt stays in the heated container while the vapor/steam is desalinated drinking water.

In the coniferous forests of Oregon, eight species of woodpeckers coexist. Four species select their nesting sites based on tree

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. resource partitioning

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is a strategy that species employ to avoid competition. It is based on the selection of different nutrition sources by different organisms that coexist in the same ecological niche, so there is no conflict between them. In the present case, each one of the eight species of woodpeckers feed on different trees, it means that each one select a different tree´s species or, if they select the same species, they use trees of different diameters.

A woman has blood Type A, her baby has blood Type AB: Is it possible that a man who has the blood Type A could be the father? Sh

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

No, it is not possible

Explanation:

Humans use the ABO blood group system where the A and B alleles are dominant over allele O but codominant with one another.

This system is such that;

Type A can only have genotype: iAiA or iAi

Type B can only have genotype: iBiB or iBi

Type AB can only have genotype: iAiB

Type O can only have genotype: ii

According to this question, a woman has blood Type A (iAiA or iAi) and her baby has blood Type AB (iAiB). This means that the father definitely contributed the allele B in order to have a baby with type AB. It also means that, according to the question, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A "Type A" father to produce that baby (see the punnet square attached).

Note: The father must contain an allele B in his genotype i.e. the father must be either type B (iBiB or iBi) or type AB (iAiB)
