Tail length in mice varies within a population. Scientists observed change in the distribution of tail lengths in a mouse popula

Answer:

Not passed along or it is recessive

Explanation:

There are two reasons for the shift in tail length in mice. The first reason could be that the tail length of mice is a recessive trait. In a population where there are also dominant traits, these traits may not show but still be in the population via the heterozygous individuals. The second reason that there may be fewer mice with short tails is that this phenotype causes some survival incompatibility that they may not survive to reproductive years or are not chosen by other mice to cross with. The short tail then does not get passes on.

Bats hunt using echolocation, in which they send and receive high frequency sounds to locate prey. When bats hear the sounds of
Mama L [17]

The hunting behaviors of bats are affected by noisy environments because the bats' hunting methods will change to adapt to their noisy surroundings.

In an environment where there is much noise pollution, bats could be affected very negatively, causing the sounds of their prey to become hard to hear or to detect through the sounds of the city. This could lead to one of two things: A decrease in the bat population, or a development of a new hunting technique with in the population, leading to many possibilities with in the genetic gene pool. Studies have been made concerning bats in areas with high levels of noise pollution, and rather than the decline of bats in the population, a new hunting method was developed instead. Bats normally rely on the sound of their prey, as well as their echolocation. In the studies however, scientists found that the bats would begin to rely solely on echolocation, and not a mix of echolocation <u>and</u> the sounds of their prey, <u>just</u> echolocation. This helps the bats to adjust to their noisy environments so that they can better find their prey.

In humans, the embryonic and fetal forms of hemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adults. Why is this the ca
Bezzdna [24]

In humans, the embryonic and the fetal forms of haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adults this is because non-identical genes produce different versions of globin during development. So the correct option is A.

<h3>What is meant by oxygen affinity? </h3><h3> </h3>

The amount of oxygen delivered to the cells will depend on the haemoglobin's oxygen affinity.  

Oxygen affinity is defined as the relationship between the saturation of haemoglobin oxygen, represented by SaO2 and the oxygen tension, represented by PaO2. This relationship is plotted by a dissociation curve which is S-shaped.  

Thus, in the embryonic the fetal form, haemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen.

Therefore the correct option is A.
