Biology

Temka [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d. The carbon atoms came from carbon dioxide and were incorporated into sugars through photosynthesis in the grass.

Explanation:

Grass eating cows are heterotrophs and can not synthesize the organic sugars by themselves. They derive it from grasses they eat.  

Grasses are the autotrophs that can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is stored in the cells of grasses in the form of starch and becomes a source of carbon for herbivores such as cows.

For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, what is the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

All of the following are examples of environmental influences on the development of personality disorders except __________. A.
Elden [556K]

The answer is C. This is because the other choices involve experiences (most during childhood a significant phase in humans development) that are environmental factors that impact on the human personality. In choice C, there is little development since its adulthood phase and on the other hand, refusing to display warmth and emotion is not an experience.
