Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents

with medium length antennae have offspring. One of their offspring has short antennae, and one has long antennae. How did the offspring end up with traits that are different from the traits of their parents? How did the gene combinations result in these traits?

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

Which statements about the cycle of weathering, erosion, and deposition are true? Check all that apply.
kompoz [17]

The correct statements are-

Erosion occurs even when the mountains are forming. Erosion is the movement of sediments from the broken rocks through the agents like gravity, wind, water and others. It is a constant process occurring even while the mountains are forming. It is affected by gravity.

When new mountains or plateaus form, the cycle starts over. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by the weathering agents. These sediments move due to the process of erosion. A new sediment may be dropped nearby or in a new place by the process of deposition. Weathering, erosion and deposition occur together as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

Weathering, erosion and deposition have almost leveled earth’s surface. These three processes occur as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

Why would it be expected that a swordfish would exhibit higher methyl mercury levels than a tilapia? (site 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

Mercury is a liquid metal that is released into the environment by both natural processes such as volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, etc and human activities such as waste materials from factories. The mercury that reaches the ocean and other water sources is converted into methylmercury by bacteria. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that interferes with the nervous system and is easily absorbed by the human body.

The methylmercury is taken up by planktons. Small fishes consume large quantities of plankton. Tilapia is a small, short-lived freshwater fish. The methylmercury level in tilapia is lower than that of other fish. When large, long-living predatory fishes such as tuna, shark, king mackerel, swordfish, etc consume many smaller fish with low mercury levels, this causes accumulation of methylmercury at extremely high levels in their tissues over time i.e., the amount of mercury in such bigger fish biomagnifies.  

So large, long-lived predators like swordfish and shark often have the highest methyl mercury levels than a small, short-lived tilapia.
