Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

parents?

A.100% red/white-feather chickens.

B.50% white-feather chickens and 50% red/white-feather chickens.

C.33% white-feather chickens, 33% red-feather chickens, and 33% red/white-feather chickens.

D.25% white-feather chickens, 25% red-feather chickens, and 50% red/white-feather chickens

The Correct answer is D

Explanation:

According to the question, the hybrid chicken has a mixture of red and white feather phenotypes expressed at the same time. This tells us that the red and white alleles are CODOMINANT in the chicken i.e. none is dominant or recessive over the other.

Let's assume that (R) allele is the red feather colour while (r) allele is for white feather colour. Therefore, the red/white feathered chicken will have a Rr genotype. In a cross between two red/white feathered chicken (Rr), the following offsprings will be produced RR, Rr, Rr and rr

RR- Homozygous red feather d chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)

Rr- Hybrid Red/White feathered chicken (2/4 × 100=50%)

rr- Homozygous white feathered chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)

contractile vacuole

Contractile vacuoles are organelles that are responsible for excretion function. They perform osmoregulation which manages wastes, water and other needed materials in the cell. They are found in some prokaryoric organisms like the algae, protists, amoeba and other unicellular organisms.

What is the likeliest limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deep

serg [7]

Quality of light is the limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper

Explanation:

When sun rays pass through the water in the oceans, they are quickly diffused and cannot penetrate very deep into the deep water layers. Remember that phytoplanktons are photosynthetic organisms and hence require sunlight to manufacture their own food. They, therefore, cannot grwo in deeper layers of the oceans. They are only found in the photic zone.

The quality of light is especially of most importance and hence the major limiting factor. Red light, of longer wavelength, and which is the major wavelength of light that is used the most by photosynthetic organisms, diffuses very fast than blue light when it passes through water. Therefore the more reason phytoplankton is found in the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper.

Which of the following are causes of indoor air pollution? Select all that are true.

Aleks [24]

"Carpeting", and "furniture increased ventilation" inefficient indoor cook stoves "VOCs from paints".

Option: C

Explanation:

VOC's are really harmful solvents that are released in the air as the paint dries. The VOC's can create acute health symptoms which may result harmful after some time, like dizziness, headache, and many more. Generally, the long term effects are not that evident, but some VOC's are more carcinogens according to US environmental protection agency. Although, many paint companies claim that their paints are VOC free which is actually false. It might be true that the VOC is not present in the base of the paint, but when the pigment is added to the paint the VOC increases. Hence, carpeting, furniture, cook stoves and VOC's from paints are really harmful indoor pollutants.
