  • The statement that alleles on homologous chromosomes determine traits, correctly describes the mechanism of inheritance.
  • Homologous chromosomes are defined as a pair of chromosomes which have the genes arranged on them in the same order however the alleles may be different.
  • The chromosome pair of homologous chromosomes is formed because a diploid organism has one paternal and one maternal chromosome, and when these 2 chromosomes pair together we get a homoglous chromosmes.
  • The variants of a particular gene present on the chromosome are known as alleles.
  • The combination of the alleles transferred from the parents to the offspring is responsible for the inheritance of traits.

Which of the following stages of cellular respiration involve cytochromes?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. III only

Explanation:

Cytochromes are found only in the mitochondrial membrane as part of the electron transport chain. They are vital to the downward cascade of energy as electrons are passed from the NAD+ and FAD produced during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle into the electron transport chain to eventually produce ATP.

Breeding programs and habitat preserves have been established as an effort to protect the florida panther from extinction. studi
Inessa05 [86]
The answer is ‘panthers will become extinct due to the lack of genetic diversity’. The population will enter what is referred to an extinction vortex. This is when environmental, demographic and genetic factors interact and reinforce each other in a downward spiral of a species. The lack of genetic diversity in the population causes inbreeding and lack of diversity on which natural selection can act upon for the population to adapt.

Which features are created by deposition from rivers? Check all that apply. rills deltas floodplains alluvial fans oxbow lakes
algol13

The features which create deposition from rivers are found in food plains, alluvial fan, and deltas.

Deposition is termed as a process whereby the transported materials by a river are being deposited.

When a river losses energy we say that there is deposition.

Where there is high flow of water in a river deposition is likely to occur because more sediments are being carried as well as erosion which is being caused.
