Answer:

D.Mendel's law of independent assortment is being violated.

Explanation:

According to Mendel in his law of independent assortment, the allele of one gene gets sorted into gametes independently of the allele of another gene. He discovered this when he performed a cross involving two characters i.e. dihybrid cross, which he obtained a F2 phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1. This ratio is only possible if each allele of each gene is represented in each gamete i.e. a dominant allele of the first gene is equally likely possible to be contained with a dominant or recessive allele in the second gene.

If this occurs according to the Mendel's law of independent assortment, a total of four possible combinations of gametes should be produced by each parent organism. When this 4 gametes are crossed in a punnet square, a total of 16 offsprings will be possible.

However, in this case, a total of 12 offsprings were produced, depicting that the alleles did not separate independently of one another to produce four possible gametes.

A human lost at sea without fresh drinking water is effectively lost in an osmotic desert. why would drinking salt water be harm
Grace [21]
Drinking salt water is harmful because it messes up the salt concentration in each of your red blood cells. It over loads the salt in it and causes the cell to swell up and burst due to it trying to let in more water to balance the salt concentration out.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
Archy [21]

The main difference between Exponential growth and Logistic growth is that logistic growth takes into account carrying capacity. On a graph, logistic growth levels off as it nears carrying capacity while exponential growth does not.

Exponential growth involves a positive feedback loop and Logistic growth involves a negative one.

-constricted veins

-swollen veins

-confusion


Answer;

Swollen veins


Swollen veins might be a symptom of a person whose vein valves are not functioning properly and are causing fluid it flow away from the heart.


Explanation;

Valves are structures that are found in the circulatory system both in the heart and the veins.

They function to prevent the back flow of blood.

They do so by ensuring the continuous flow of blood in one direction.

If the valves are not functioning properly it may lead to various effects such as swollen veins due to the back flow of blood which may lead to the pooling of blood in the extremities.
