Summarize what has caused a recent increase in the rate of extinction.

Biology
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The main reason is attributed to habitat loss, as animals are left without places to live as areas around the planet are being taken over and changed by human presence. With the added pressures of invasive species and climate change, the study writes, species are vanishing faster.

Punnett square question? 80 PTS FOR BEST ANSWER!
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

For number 4, it tells you that purple body color is dominant to blue.

When an allele is dominant over another allele (alleles are different forms of genes, represented using letters) that means only one dominant allele needs to be present to express the dominant phenotype (phenotype is the physical appearance determined by genotype). Since purple is dominant, we use a capital "P" to represent it. Since blue is not dominant, it is called recessive, so we use a lower-case "p" to represent it.

The first genotype they give you, it is "PP", and since at least one big P is there, the phenotype is purple.

The second genotype they give you is "Pp", and since there is at least one capital P, the phenotype is also purple. It does not matter that the second allele is a lower-case, because as long as there is a capital P present, it will masks the presence of the lower-case (recessive) allele.

The third genotype is "pp", both are lower-case, so there is not dominant allele to mask the recessive ones. So, the phenotype is blue. The recessive phenotype will only be phenotypically present if the genotype is homozygous recessive.

Homozygous - having both of the same alleles (PP or pp)

In which PP is known as homozygous dominant, because it is made from the dominant allele. And pp is known as homozygous recessive, because it is made from the recessive allele.

Heterozygous - having one dominant and one recessive allele (Pp)

Note: It does that really matter what letter you use, the importance is whether it is a capital or not because that tells you if it is dominant or recessive.

The same for square shape. It says that square is dominant over round, so a capital letter is used to represent square (S), and a lower-case to represent round (s).

Therefore, the phenotype would be:

Square, Square, round, respectively.

Number 5 is asking you to go from the phenotype (physical look) to the genotype.

Tall head is (T) and dominant to short (t).

Tall = could be PP or Pp (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). It could be both since in both genotypes at least one dominant allele is present, so it will result in a dominant phenotype.

Short = tt. It is "tt" because it is recessive, and the only way to physically show the recessive phenotype is to have a homozygous recessive genotype.

Green is dominant over blue, so again.

Green body - the genotypes could be GG or Gg. At long as there is one capital (dominant) allele.

Yellow body - gg (it is recessive, so it cannot have a capital "G", or that would masks the recessive g).

Hope this helps.

Identify two examples of environmental factors that may impact salivary peroxidase activity. Describe how each of the environmen
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Examples of environmental factors that may alter salivary peroxidase include periodontitis, oral hygiene, presence of heavy metal ions, bacteria (e.g., <em>Streptococcus gordonii</em>), anaerobic conditions, temperature, pH, etc.

Explanation:

Peroxidase is an enzyme found in all aerobic cells that act to convert toxic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into dioxygen (O2) and water (H2O). This enzyme plays an important non-specific defensive role against proliferating micro-organisms that cause periodontal diseases such as periodontitis, which is a serious inflammatory disease affecting the tissues around the teeth. The most common environmental factors influencing the development of periodontitis include oral hygiene, smoking and age. In this regard, it has recently been shown that there is a positive correlation between salivary peroxidase activity and periodontal health, especially in non-smoker individuals. In consequence, it is expected that smoker individuals are more prone to suffer periodontal diseases by reduction of the salivary peroxidase levels.
