Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

Answer:

D. trait formation due to behaviors

Explanation:

It is obvious to see that the three animals, cat, whale, and bat, have the same basic structure of their forelimbs, but also that they have developed differently and have taken a new shape. The reason for this is a trait formation due to behavior. The cats ancestors were terrestrial, and the cats have remained terrestrial, walking on their four legs, and having the same shape and function as their ancestors. The whales had similar forelimbs, but their ancestors started to move more and more in water. As they did, they needed more muscle power, but also greater width of the forelimb so that they can move more easily and more efficiently in the water. This behavior has gradually resulted in a flat, strong, peddle like forelimb. The bat too had similar forelimbs to that of the cat, but its ancestors started to try to fly. The process was gradual, and it started with jumping, then longer jumps, development of skin between the fingers, elongation of the fingers, thus provide more area for development of wider skin area. This has resulted in developing a light, wide, skin dominated forelimb with elongated fingers, providing flight for the bat.

In a neuroscience experiment, which one of these would best indicate LTP?
Nezavi [6.7K]

In a neuroscience experiment, the one of these would best indicate LTP is Stronger and more frequent action potentials in the postsynaptic neuron.

<h3>What is long-term empowerment?</h3>

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is the increase in postsynaptic responses over hours, days, or weeks after brief repetitive stimulation of presynaptic afferents.

However, for study purposes, LTP is commonly divided into three sequentially occurring phases: short-term potentiation, early LTP, and late LTP.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  • Protozoans → would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food → Heterotrophs
  • Algae → would have survived without this food source → Heterotrophs

Explanation:

The protist kingdom is composed of two main groups.  The principal difference between them is that algae can produce their own food, while protozoans need to ingest other organisms or organic molecules to survive.

  • Algaes are autotroph
  • Protozoans are heterotroph

<u>Protozoans</u>:

Microscopic unicellular organisms, eukaryotic and heterotrophs -predators or detritivores-. Most of them are aquatic free-living organisms, but some species are parasites. They feed on<u> bacteria</u>, other organic wastes, and other microscopic organisms. The phagocytosis process is normally used to ingest the food, invaginating their cell membrane.  

<u>Algae</u>:

Eukaryotic micro- or macroscopic organisms. Autotroph and photosynthetic. They might be either unicellular or pluricellular. They use sunlight to synthesize organic matter from water, CO₂, and mineral salts. Unicellular ones can be free-living or associate with others to form colonies. They are part of the phytoplankton and are ingested by heterotrophic organisms. Pluricellular algae do not create real tissues but they compose a tale. The depth at which they inhabit depends on the pigments they produce. All of them inhabit fresh or sea waters.
