Ducklings follow their mother due to imprinting.

C imprinting

Attachment of newborn babies to mothers is a species typical behavior that has received a lot of attention. Newly hatched ducklings, which walk as soon as they hatch, follow their mother almost immediately. Similar attachment occur in many other species.

The process by which attachment develops is called imprinting. Baby ducklings follow the first large moving object they see after hatching, especially if it makes duck sounds. Normally this is the mother, but if ducklings hatch in an incubator, they will form an attachment to a person, a large, moving orange ball, or almost anything else that is the first large moving object they see.

Why is the hydrolysis of water required for photosynthesis?

Papessa [141]

Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a water molecule is inserted.

In light-based reaction, which occurs in the thylakoid layer, chlorophyll absorbs energy from the sun and converts it into chemical energy through water. Light-dependent reactions release oxygen to water hydrolysis as a by-product.

Hope it helps!

What do the variables in the Hardy-Weinberg equation represent? p p2 q q2 2pq frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype arr

kompoz [17]

Explanation:

In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium...

$p^{2} + 2pq +q^{2} = 1$

p represents the dominant allele frequency

q represents the frequency of the recessive allele

q^2 = the genotypic frequency of the homozygous recessive

p^2= the genotypic frequency of the homozygous dominant

2pq= the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

Further Explanation:

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences form new alleles, and affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded. Along with genetic drift, selective mating and natural selection, evolution may occur within populations.

Some alleles become fixed within a population over time. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a specific gene that is not undergoing evolution- allelic frequencies are stable over several generations. During this period, mutations do not occur within the population.

A list of the cell fibers from largest to smallest would read: 1. microtubules, intermediate filaments, microfilaments

Dahasolnce [82]

A list of the cell fibers from largest to smallest would read:

1. microtubules – is a microscopic tubular structure that is present in numbers in the cytoplasm of cells. These are usually aggregated to form complex structures.

2. intermediate filaments – are cytoskeletal components that is usually found in the cells of vertebrate species and other organisms like plants, fungi, unicellular organisms.

3. Microfilaments – are filamentous structures that can be found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and it will form part of the cytoskeletons. They are composed primarily of polymers of actin. But in cells, they usually interact with other proteins.

What makes lipids different from other organic compounds? A. They make simple sugars. B. They are made of amino acids. C. They c

erastovalidia [21]

D is the correct answer. Lipids only dissolve (are soluble) in non polar solvents, which are liquid solvents whose electrical charges (from electrons) are not present or are cancelled out. Lipids include fats, waxes, some vitamins that are fat-soluble and other molecules.
