The presence of nitrogen-fixing plants should benefit nearby individuals of other species, because nitrogen is a key nutrient--i

t is usually in very short supply. But nitrogen--fixing bacteria live inside tight nodules in the host plant's roots, and the host plant has to provide the bacteria with large quantities of sugar. Which of the following statements is correct?
Nitrogen will only become available to other, nearby plants when the nodules or the nitrogen-fixing plant itself dies.

Even when plants are young and nodules are just forming, huge quantities of nitrogen are being produced.

The nitrogen-fixing plant species has so much nitrogen that it readily leaks into the surrounding soil, making it available to nearby plants.

If nitrogen is released from the nodules into the surrounding soil, there is no cost to the host plant.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Nitrogen will only become available to other, nearby plants when the nodules or the nitrogen-fixing plant itself dies".

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixing bacteria maintain a symbiotic relationship with plants. Bacteria performs nitrogen fixation providing the plant with ammonia, while bacteria has a safe place and nutrients to prosper. This relationship is very intimate because it occurs at the root hair of the plant at structures called nodules. Therefore, nitrogen will only become available to other, nearby plants when the nodules or the nitrogen-fixing plant itself dies

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. A short haired male and long haired female have kit
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Explanation:

In cats the allele for short hair is dominant over the allele for long hair. (SS or Ss for short hair; ss for long hair).

A short haired male and long haired female have kittens. Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair.

For the parents to have been able to produce long haired offsprings, it means both parents possess one copy each of the recessive traits. Thus we have

Phenotype of parent: A short haired male and long haired female

Genotype of parents:                  Ss     x     ss

Genotype of offsprings:                  Ss    ss

Expected ratio of short to long:      2  :   2 = 1 :  1

The actual ratio in this problem is Eight kittens have short hair and 3 have long hair: 8 : 3

Name 3 critical areas of the body that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
tester [92]

Answer: Respiratory system, Excretory system, and Endocrine system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process through which several organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment in the body. There are three organs of the body which ar eaccurately maintained by homeostasis:

Respiratory system: High carbon dioxide content in the blood triggers faster breathing. Most frequently, the lungs exhale, which quicker extracts carbon dioxide from the body.  

Endocrine system: High blood sugar content causes insulin release by an endocrine gland called pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which helps the cells absorb blood sugar.

Excretory system: A low blood level of water causes kidney accumulation of water. The kidneys contain more concentrated urine, so less water from the body is lost.  

Hence, three critical areas are respiratory system, excretory system, and endocrine system that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
