Answer:

6/16 dogs will not be able to smell.

Explanation:

Genes A and B are considered for scent smell.

Individuals homozygous for either one or both of the nonfunctional recessive alleles are not able to smell.

The final cross would be AaBb x AaBb which has outcome of;

Individual with homozygous nonfunctional recessive alleles (bold ones):

  • One nonfunctional recessive alleles: Aabb, aaBB, aaBb, Aabb, aaBb (5/16)
  • Two nonfunctional recessive alleles: aabb (1/16)
  • All nonfunctional recessive alleles: 6/16 dogs that could not smell scents

What is the microscopic anatomical make-up of skeletal muscles?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Muscles at the microscopic level are made of actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament) fibers in alternation and parallel to each other.  During contraction, the fibres seem to slip against each other in opposite directions. Technically, the myosin head ‘walks’ on the actin – in an engage and release motion – with the help of ATP. Several actin and myosin fibers make up a myofibril. Each contractile unit in the myofibril is called a sarcomere – viewed as Z-discs at the microscopic level.

A scientist used radiation to change the mutation rates of a population of bugs. He then measured how many generations it took f
Papessa [141]

For this experiment, artificial selection is made by the scientists where traits of benefit are made to be present in the gene by high mutation rate so that the adaptability increases.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process by which a organism with beneficial traits survive and reproduce in large numbers. They adapt to the environment very quickly and pass on these traits to its progeny which are at the better survival zone.

The mutations for the beneficial traits in certain genes caused the bugs to adapt to their environment well. When mated, they pass on the traits in every generation. It is also said that those organisms who did not get mutated eventually died.

The faster the mutation rate, the faster the mutated bugs with beneficial traits will appear in each generation.

From the graph it can be said that those bugs who could not bear the mutation they died and hence did not appear in the next generation only those bugs who could cope up the environment survived.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option C) The organism can move around its environment using a flagellum.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Out of four options option C) matches the most.

  1. Although most of the bacteria are Heterotrophs but a variety of species  of them are Autotrophs making their own food. Hence option a) is incorrect.
  2. Bacteria belong to prokaryotes which means they do not have a well defined membrane bound nucleus. hence option b) is also incorrect.
  3. Most of the bacteria can move through flagella only a few species do not have flagella. Hence this option matches the most.
  4. Bacteria are unicellular organism and none of the species of bacteria is multicellular. Hence option d) is incorrect.

Resut: Option C) matches the most for defining bacteria.
