A hornless bull is crossed with three cows, A, B, and C. Cow A is horned and produces calf A’, which is also horned. Cow B is ho

rnless and produces calf B’, which is horned. Cow C is horned and produces calf C’, which is hornless. Which is the dominant trait? Explain your reasoning. Give the genotypes of all seven animals.

The dominant trait is hornless. 

If this is correct, then the original bull is a heterozygote:
H = hornless
h = horned
Bull is Hh

Cross 1: Hh x hh (horned female) - offspring is hh (horned)

Cross 2: Hh x Hh (hornless female) - offspring is hh (horned)

Cross 3: Hh x hh (horned female) - offspring is Hh (hornless)

Cross 3 is the key to confirming this because the only way to get a hornless offspring would be if hornless is recessive.

What does sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide form in the atmosphere that is bad
egoroff_w [7]

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that
kykrilka [37]

Explanation:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that may be affected if the body temperature deviates too far from the temperature optimum (which functions or activities are mediated by proteins)?

a.) Muscle-movements

b.) Digestion of food

c.) Growth and development

Just about every aspect of an organisms daily functions are governed by the actions of proteins, be they structural proteins that determine cell shape, motor-protein that move vesicles inside the cell or allow muscle cells to contract, or be they enzymes that catalyze the vast majority of chemical reactions a cell has to engage in.

It turns out that every living organism gives off some heat. The difference between endotherms and ectotherms is merely the rate at which this heat is produced by the organism.

In fact, even plants and bacteria produce some heat as they go through their daily lives. This is evident in early spring, when the earliest spring flowers manage to thaw themselves through a solid ice layer, or when you overturn a compost heap on a crisp fall day in which bacteria decomposers are very active you will see steam rising from the pile.

What source have we already discussed that can produce this heat given off by organisms to their environment?

a) negative delta G of energetically coupled reactions.

Endotherms take advantage in particular of cellular respiration to ramp up that heat given off from energetically coupled reactions due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As a consequence, endotherms maintain highly elevated rates of cellular respiration compared to ectotherms

b.) lowering of activation energy by an organism's enzymes

What is a green plant supported by so it can stand up? water osmotic pressure cell walls
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Cell walls

Explanation:

Water is not it, as liquids usually serve no supportive value.

Osmotic pressure is, "the pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis, often used to express the concentration of the solution." (Google Dictionary)

Cell walls are rigid shells on the outside of most plants which helps them stay rigid.
