Answer:

B

Explanation:

According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of a gene from each parent. This form received by each parent is called an ALLELE. An allele is the variant form of a gene for a particular trait.

For a diploid organism, two copies of genes (alleles) are acquired by an organism. The combination of these alleles from each parent determines the genotype for that gene.

In Mendel's experiments, he discovered that one allele can mask the expression of another for a trait. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these alleles, whether two dominant or two recessive called HOMOZYGOUS or one dominant and one recessive called HETEROZYGOUS, determines the phenotype of the organism for that gene.

N.B: There are exceptions to this pattern of inheritance.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Unconditioned stimulus.

Explanation:

Classical conditioning may be defined as a type of learning procedure in which the biological procedure is used to pair up with the previous nerve stimulus. This stimulus result in the response of an individual.

The Pavlov experiment with the dog explains the process of classical conditioning. The ringing of bell (conditioned stimulus) is paired with unconditioned stimulus (meat presentation).

Thus, the meat presentation is unconditioned stimulus.

How would retaining extra cytoplasm enhance survival of a developing oocyte?
beks73 [17]

Answer:  An extra cytoplasm enhance survival of a developing oocyte in such a way because cytoplasm serves as a reservoir of lipids, polysaccharide and lipids for the developing embryo.The more the cytoplasm content, more will be the nutrients for the developing embryo. The cytoplasm forms the yolk and provides nourishment to the developing embryo. As we know that the developing embryo requires more nutrition and the main source of nutrition is cytoplasm because the sperm has no reservoir of its own to provide nutrition to embryo.

Thus, an extra cytoplasm enhance the rate of survival of a developing oocyte.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The flowers and moths experienced the same allopatric speciation events during their history.

Explanation:

Co evolution may be defined as the process of the evolution of more than two species together that oppositely affects the evolution of each other. The natural selection provides the base for the co-evolution.

The co evolution generally occurs in the flowers and its pollinating species. The moth and the flower speciation represents the co evolution because both evolution are affected by each other. They have experienced the co evolution due to the allopatric speciation event and leads to teh genereation of the specific change in the characteristics.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
