Is Human height an example of a trait that represents sex linkage because many separate genes contribute to this single trait.

Biology

7 0
Many separate genes contribute to the human height, so it is the example of polygenic inheritance. Still, height is not sex linked trait. Sex linkage means that the expression of an allele is dependent on the gender. Height could not be a sex linked trait since both men and women have height, but the variations exist. Difference between men and women regarding the height is the consequence of the sex hormones on the height.

Sea anemones can reproduce sexually or asexually. What would be the most likely advantage a sea anemone would have to reproduce
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Re-producing sexually will allow the sea anemones to give their offspring a more diverse gene pool and can mitigate the risks of a genetic disorder being spread to the offspring because the bad gene has a higher chance become recessive if the gene of the anemone it mates with is more dominant (meaning it wouldn't allow the "bad" gene to show in the offspring) whereas otherwise, the offspring would have the same issues the mother did (assuming it had a bad gene to begin with).

Pretty easy question (s) but I am not good at explaining things so I need help

I'm guessing the rocket scenario is the first one and the asteroid one is the last. That being said...

1) The fuel in the rocket provides it with the energy it needs to propel itself into space. The rocket throttles at the bottom, allow it to break free from the earth's gravity by pushing against the earth's greater mass.

2) If you are inside of the bus, in a fixed spot not moving, and the bus is moving. That means you are moving in the same direction as the bus. If it stops, you're still moving at the speed that it was once originally moving at. Obviously, since you weigh less than the bus you are going to fly forwards.

3) There is no gravity or friction in space, so items won't slow down no matter what. Even if an object such as a meteor is flung into space with the tiniest bit of force it will keep flying through space at a consistent speed, since there's nothing to slow it down... unless it hits something else.

4) Looking back at the previous answer, the asteroid is flying through space at a consistent speed (which is really fast). Suddenly it comes in close range to the moon which is bigger in size, and thus has a stronger gravitational pull, and pulls the asteroid into it's field.

What are some examples of biotic factors that affect carrying capacity?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Factors like native plants and other animals competing for the resources.

Explanation:

The most important one for human civilization would definitely be the native plants because they will turn to be the ones that can be cultivated in that specific type of soil. For example, in the raining forests, cultivation like potatoes is not possible, because it's not a native plant. Another factor could be the other animals, or native animals, that compete for resources in that ecosystem, as they also interact with it, they would also be part of the decrease or increase of carrying capacity.
