It would be most important for Eric to find out his <em>zinc, iron and vitamin B12 (or  riboflavin) levels, and ensure that he is obtaining adequate amounts of these vitamins and minerals through vegetarian sources </em>.

A vegetarian diet is typically low in zinc rich foods, since meat, shell fish and eggs are the most abundant sources of zinc. In order to ensure that he obtains sufficient zinc, Eric should make sure he consumes vegetarian zinc sources such as legumes, lentils, dairy, nuts and seeds on a daily basis.

Since iron and vitamin B12 are also difficult to obtain from vegetarian sources, Eric should consume iron rich foods such as spinach, kale, whole grains, broccoli, legumes,etc., on a daily basis. As for vitamin B12, daily supplementation of 2.4 μg is recommended for vegetarians. Alternatively, riboflavin fortified cereals and grains are also recommended to meet daily riboflavin requirements.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Taxonomy

Explanation:

<em>Taxonomy is the science of identifying different organisms, living and extinct, by classifying and naming them. </em>To achieve this goal taxidermists consider genetics, biochemistry, behaviors, and morphology and resume this information into the species name. Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species are the taxonomic categories used from general to particular.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

You have been given a single virgin Drosophila female. You notice that the bristles on her thorax are much shorter than normal.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

We never see short bristle males, suggesting some type of lethality. I.e. any males who inherit the mutation die before birth so we don't see the phenotype. This also hints that it could be X-linked.

Females can be short bristled, but males can't, as it is likely lethal. This suggests that having one copy of the short bristle trait without the long bristle trait is lethal (as males as XY and so only have one copy of the trait). The female then must be heterozygous for the short bristle trait (which also explains how in generation F2, long bristle males can be produced, as if she was homozygous males would all be short bristled, and therefore dead, so there would be no males.

Since the first short bristle female is heterozygous, the trait for short bristles must be dominant.

However, since evidence suggests the trait is X-linked, it cannot be autosomal, as suggested in B.

Which nutrient is correctly paired with the indicator used to detect its presence?
Gnoma [55]
Presence of nutrients is detected using various chemical reagents. Glucose is detected using Benedict's solution, while proteins are tested using the biuret reagent while lipids are tested using ethanol and water. In addition starch is tested using the Lugol's iodine. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 (starch- Lugol's iodine.
