Part 1- Explain which traits would need to combine in order for a yellow cucumber and a green to make a green cucumber.
adelina 88 [10]
<h2>Part 1.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

Only the traits or allele for the green trait will be needed to make a green cucumber.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Here in the given example there are two allele responsible for the color of cucumber. One is Y which is dominant allele and codes for the yellow color.

While y is recessive allele and it will be code for the green color.

In case of heterozygous in which the genotype will be Yy but the phenotype will be always yellow because Y is dominant.

In case of genotype yy the phenotype will be green.

So for green cucumber there will be two y in the genotype.

<h2>Part 2.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

For yellow cucumber, there is need of only one dominant allele which codes for yellow.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

According to the given punnet squre, There will be 4 genotypes from the breeding of a yellow cucumber and green cucumber.

The yellow cucumber is heterozygous or homozygous and its genotypes can be Yy and YY relatively.

But for green cucumber the genotype can only be homozygous which is yy.

In the punnet squre the 2 phenotype are yellow and green.

Hence for the yellow cucumber there is only need of one Y allele in genotype.

"what is the direct cause of death for the aquatic animals during eutrophication"
AnnZ [28]
A LOSS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN THE WATER is the primary and direct cause of death of aquatic animals during eutrophication or what is also known as hypertrophication. This is the enrichment of a water body with excessive chemical nutrients which can be a problem in marine habitats, as it can cause algal blooms. With this is the occurrence of dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.

Colostrum, which is rich in protein, micronutrients, and antibodies, is replaced by mature milk in about
Allisa [31]
<span>About 2 weeks. Since the species isn't mentioned, I will assume human. Definitions Colostrum: This is the fluid expressed by the breasts just prior to and for a few days after giving birth. It contains a much higher concentration of nutrients in an easier to digest form than regular breast milk. This type of breast milk will be produced for 2 to 4 days after giving birth. Transitional Milk: This is a thick creamy milk that contains more fat, lactose, vitamins and calories than colostrum. It starts within 4 days of giving birth and lasts approximately 2 weeks. Mature Milk: This is a thinner milk that's about 90% water and 10% nutrients. It starts about 2 weeks after giving birth. So the answer is about 2 weeks.</span>
