Ecologists make models to gain insight into complex phenomena such as the effects of global warming on ecosystems.

Natural selection doesn't favor traits that are somehow inherently superior. Instead, it favors traits that are beneficial (that is, help an organism survive and reproduce more effectively than its peers) in a specific environment. Traits that are helpful in one environment might actually be harmful in another.
(one again, I hope this helps ^^)
The given question is incomplete as the genotype of the parents is not given, so the answer is providing in the followings case:
1. dominant parent and recessive parent
2. heterozygous parents
Answer:
1. dominant parent and recessive parent:
dominant parents can be represented by LL and recessive parent is represented by ll, so the gametes would be L, L and l, l.
so,
L L
l Ll Ll
l Ll Ll
so there are all offspring in heterozygous condition as we known one or two dominant allele masks the recessive allele for the trait so 100% offspring can fold their tongue.
2. heterozygous parents
In this case, parents have Ll genotype and gametes would be L and l for each parent so,
L l
L LL Ll
l Ll ll
In this case, one is pure dominant and two heterozygous whereas only one is recessive so, the phenotype of offspring that cant fol the tongue would be:
3/4 = 75%
Answer:
1) c. five
2) a. lysine and arginine
3) g. two
4) d. four
Explanation:
A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;
1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.
2. A phosphate group.
3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.
The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;
I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.
II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.
Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and then condense it to chromatin.
Histones include five main classes of relatively small basic proteins containing relatively large amounts of lysine and arginine. Nucleosomes are made of two each of four types of histones.
The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.
