(2) To reduce cost.

Why do they buy more parts outside?

(1) Inefficient in-house parts manufacturing.

The cost of managing Internal

(2) manufacturing of Automobile parts has increased.

Explanation: General motor and Ford are both world class Automobile manufacturers with several vehicles in every part of the world, General motors have its assembly plant in about 120 countries of the World.

During the early 20th Century they found that the local suppliers were unable to meet their Demand in terms of Quality and quantity and it was very expensive. So they started a backward integration to help regulate the quality,meet their Demand and save cost.

In recent times between the late 20th Century till recent times they buy more parts from external suppliers because the cost of managing Internal manufacturing became high because of labor costs and inefficiency caused by lack of competition and Japanese manufacturers have been able to meet their requirements.

The pupil opens and closes automatically in response to light.What part of your nervous system controls this response and is it
Zigmanuir [339]
Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. Involuntary reflex reaction to exposure or inexposure to light—in low light conditions a dilated pupil lets more light into the eye. :)

You cross purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants, and all offspring are purple. how come? select one:
Vaselesa [24]
To solve this problem on genetic dominance, we will need a punnet square.

Let's let P represent purple-flowered and p represent white-flowered.

We have one purple flowered plant with the alleles PP, and we have one white flowered plant with the alleles pp. Using a punnet square, we can determine the alleles of the offspring.

       <u>P</u>     <u>P</u>
p|    Pp   Pp

p |   Pp   Pp

As we can tell from our punnet square, all of our offspring will have purple flowers. This is because the purple-flower allele is dominant and the white-flowered allele is recessive.

Since each flower has a dominant and recessive allele, they are heterozygous.

Therefore, the solution to this problem is D.
