High doses of stimulants can influence driving capabilities by
irakobra [83]
I believe high doses of stimulants can influence driving capabilities by inducing dizziness, panic reactions and hallucinations. Stimulants are substances that can affect a person's mood, often giving the user extra energy and a stronger sense of well-being. They can range from legal substances such as nicotine and caffeine to illegal drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

B) 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4

Explanation:

It happens when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait. The cross related to this result is shown as under:

                          Father           Mother

                             Bb       x        Bb

                             /   \                 /   \

Gametes:           B      b            B      b

                          |        |              |       |

Probability:      1/2     1/2          1/2    1/2

The probability of formation of 'b' gamete from father is 1/2 because there are only two gametes 'B' and 'b' and out of these two one will be assorted as 'B' and another one as 'b' and from mother also the probability of formation of 'b' gamete is 1/2.

Now the assortment of gametes with each other is an independent event i.e. any gamete from father can fuse with any gamete of mother so the overall probability of formation of 'bb' genotype will be 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow

Where would you expect to find telomerase activity?
ehidna [41]

Telomerase is found in fetal tissues, adult germ cells, and also tumor cells. Telomerase activity is regulated during development and has a very low, almost undetectable activity in somatic (body) cells. Because these somatic cells do not regularly use telomerase, they age.
