The plants could start to rot/die because if the soil isn’t broke down the roots can’t get through for oxygen so therefor they’d pretty much suffocate

Match the following terms and definitions. 1.breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics codominan
Luden [163]
<span>Answers;
1.Breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics; Dihybrid cross
2.A grid system used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization; Punnet square
3 A condition in which both alleles are dominant; Codominance
4.when more than two alternatives exist for a gene; multiple alleles
5.A condition in which neither pair of alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype ;Incomplete dominance;

Explanation;
</span>Dihybrid cross;
<span>It involves the breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics. It involves the cross of individuals that are both heterozygous for two different traits. For example two different traits in a pea plant; color and shape; for color we have; Y-allele for yellow seeds and y- allele for green seeds, For Shape trait; R-allele for round seeds and r-allele for wrinkled seeds. So the dihydbrid cross would be (RrYy </span>× RrYy). 
<span>
Punnet square;

</span><span>This a grid system or a square diagram that is used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization. It is used by biologists determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. 
</span><span>The letters on the outside of a Punnett Square stand for the parent allele.
</span>
Codominance
;
<span>This is a condition in heterozygotes in which both members of an allelic pair are dominant and both contribute to the phenotype. 
A good example of codominance is the ABO blood group; A person with blood group AB, it means that both the A allele and B allele are equally expressed. 

Multiple alleles

</span><span>This is when more than two alternatives for a gene exist.
Examples of multiple allelism in human;The genes of the ABO blood group system. The human ABO system is controled by three alleles, namely; A-allele, B-allele and O-allele.

Incomplete dominance;
</span><span>This is condition in heterozygotes in which both members of an allelic pair are neither dominant nor recessive to other alleles, so the two traits blend in the phenotype of the individual. 
An example; is a snapdragon flower that is pink as a result of cross-pollination between a red flower and a white flower. Which means neither the white allele or the red allele are dominant. </span>

Question 9.9. Which bone would a forensic anthropologist analyze to identify a victim as male or female?
OLEGan [10]

The answers would be:

Pelvis

Coroner's office

Here is more about your questions:

The pelvis is a good identifier when it comes to male and female because the features have distinct features. The female pelvis for example is broader and the inlet is much wider. It is structured that way to prepare the woman's body for pregnancy and child birth.

Forensic anthropologists is a sub-category of anthropology. Forensic anthropologists examine skeletal remains to determine how an individual lived, died, and how long they were dead. They can also identify who they were. Forensic anthropologists can assist especially when the remains are badly decomposed.

Ian waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his _____ pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb posi
ANEK [815]
<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his lemniscus pathway. </span>

The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).

Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).

Suppose you found a fossil of a clam shell what can you conclude about the once-living organism and how it became a fossil?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Identifying the fossil is the first step. We have already identified this fossil as a clamshell. We know clam are from the sea, but if you didn't, you could conclude this from knowing where you found the fossil (likely near the beach). Discovering where it is can also lead you to a conclusion on it's arrival as a fossil, perhaps washed up on shore or buried by an animal.
