Why should/shouldn't Pluto be reclassified as a planet?

Answer:

(This could be opinion based, but ok.)

Explanation:

should:Pluto was known as a planet for 75 years. This means that most people already knew it as a planet, and would be extremely confused. All of the books about planets would be inaccurate and changed. Not all people can access brand new books, leading to inaccurate information.

shouldn't: The same reason that it was unclassified as a planet. It does not adhere to all of the rules of being a planet. It is not completely round and does not have a round orbit around the sun. Pluto does not have every requirement to be a real planet, and therefor, it would be incorrect to have it classified wrongly.

Would vision and audition be considered "higher senses” in non-human animals? Why or why not?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Not necessarily

Explanation:

There are animals in which vision and audition are more specialized than in humans, while in other species this relation fails. For example, in predatory birds, the vision clarity surpassing human eyesight, since this sense is required for effective prey capture. Conversely, in the European mole (<em>Talpa europaea</em>), which is a mammal that lives mostly underground, the vision is seriously short-sighted. These are clear examples that "the function makes the organ", ie., phenotypic features such as vision and audition are selected in the course of evolution depending on the fitness that they confer to the species in particular environmental conditions.

A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spinele

kondor19780726 [428]

Complete question:

A geneticist crossed fruit flies to determine the phenotypic ratio. The geneticist crossed a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles (bbss) with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles (BbSs). Which proportion of offspring that are dominant for both traits in would you not expect based on Mendel's law of independent assortment? 1/2 , 4/16, 25% , or 1/4

Answer:

1/2 is the proportion of the offspring that is NOT expected among individuals that are dominant for both traits.

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny and the correct expected proportion of individuals that are dominant for both traits.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

Cross: a fly with blistery wings and spineless bristles with a heterozygous fly that had normal wings and normal bristles
Recessive trait: blistery wings and spineless bristles
Dominant trait: normal wings and normal bristles

Let us say that:

B is the dominant allele for normal wings
b is the recessive allele for blistery wings
S is the dominant allele for normal bristles
s is the recessive allele for spineless bristles

Parentals) bbss x BbSs

Gametes) bs, bs, bs, bs BS, Bs, bS, bs

Punnett square) BS Bs bS bs

bs BbSs Bbss bbSs bbss

F1) 4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be BbSs, dyhibrid individuals, expressing normal wings and normal bristles

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be Bbss, expressing normal wings and spineless bristles

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbSs, expressing blistery wings and normal bristles

4/16 = 1/4 = 25% of the progeny is expected to be bbss, expressing blistery wings and spineless bristles

Which of the following does not represent a common outcome following introduction of foreign DNA into a bacterial cell?Choose on

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct option is A, since if the DNA enters in a circular form it is called a plasmid, and the plasmids upon entering the bacteria self-replicate outside the genetic structure, which gives the bacteria better survival qualities.

Explanation:

Plasmids are generally circular extrachromosomal DNA molecules that replicate and transmit independently of chromosomal DNA, and are normally present in bacteria, archaea, and sometimes in eukaryotic organisms such as yeast. Its size varies from 3 to 10 kb. The number of plasmids can vary, depending on their type, from a single copy to a few hundred per cell. Plasmid vectors allow cloning of exogenous DNA ligands of up to 4 kb since a larger size than this makes cloning in these vectors difficult. The term plasmid was first introduced by the American molecular biologist Joshua Lederberg in 1952. Plasmids can only coexist as one or more copies in each bacterium, due to cell division they can be lost in one of the secreted bacteria.
