In a particular species of mammal, black hair (B) is dominant to green hair (b), and red eyes (R) are dominant to white eyes (r)

. When a BbRr individual is mated with a bbrr individual, offspring are produced in a ratio of 5 black hair and red eyes:5 green hair and white eyes:1 black hair and white eyes:1 green hair and red eyes. Which of these explanations accounts for this ratio? 1. Green-haired individuals have a higher prenatal mortality than black-haired individuals.
2. The genes for hair color and the genes for eye color are carried on different chromosomes.
3. The expected results did not take genetic recombination into account.
4. The genes for both of these traits are carried on the autosomes.

<h2>The correct option is (5)</h2>

Explanation:

  • The genes for hair color and eye color are linked.
  • The linked genes are physically close to one another on the same chromosomes so they are most likely to be inherited together.
  • Linked genes cannot be found on a different chromosomes.
  • If genes are located closely,then their chances of recombination is more in comaprison to the genes which are located far on the same chromosomes.

If water evaporates from the ocean and becomes water vapor what has happened to its energy level?
Tpy6a [65]

When the water evaporates from the ocean and becomes water vapor, its energy level increases. The change in energy is positive. Water in the ocean is in liquid state. The molecules of water on getting the energy from the Sun increase their energy of movement and become gas. This change in energy is called the latent heat of vaporisation of water. Hence it can be said that a change in state of matter from liquid to gas causes a net increase in its energy.

Which of the following is an example of secondary succession? A. breaking down of bare rock by fungi and mosses B. pioneer plant
Tom [10]

Answer:

C. growth of plants after a forest is destroyed by fire

Explanation:

When the ecological succession occurs on the land or region which was never inhabited by plants previously, the process is called primary succession. On the other hand, secondary succession occurs on land where the existing vegetation was destroyed by some disturbances. Secondary succession is a fast process compared to the primary succession as the soil is already present to support the growth of plants.

Among the given examples, the growth of plants after the vegetation of forest was destroyed by fire represents the process of secondary succession. Growth of vegetation on bare rocks, in the cracks in the concrete surface, or after the melting of glaciers represents the process of primary succession.
