The correct answer is hydrocephalus.

Hydrocephalus refers to the condition in which the accumulation of fluid takes place in the ventricles (cavities) deep inside the brain. The excess fluid enhances the size of the ventricles and applies pressure on the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid usually flows via the ventricles and bathes the spinal column and the brain.

Question 6 You cross a true-breeding red-flowered snapdragon with a true-breeding white-flowered one. All of the FI are pink. Wh
muminat

Answer:

E (Red shows incomplete dominance over white)

Explanation:

This portrays a monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. According to the question, a purebreeding red flowered (homozygous) plant is crossed with a purebreeding white flowered (homozygous) plant to produce an all pink flowered offspring. This phenomenon is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.

Mendel, in his experiments, discovered that an allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous state. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. However, exceptions like INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, has occurred in the sense that an allele does not completely mask the expression of its allelic pair, instead an intermediate phenotype, which is a combination/blending of both parental phenotypes is produced.

In this case, the red flowered snapdragon (RR) does not completely cover up the expression of white flower (rr), hence a hybrid/heterozygous offspring is produced that combines the phenotypic characteristics of both parents to form an intermediate flower colour (pink). Hence, it can be said that Red flower is incompletely dominant over white flower or no allele/trait is dominant or recessive to another.

How are cells from one organism different from or similar to the cells of another? How might you answer the question after you o
Reika [66]

In order for cells to become whole organisms, they must divide and differentiate. Cells divide all the time. That means that just one cell, a fertilized egg, is able to become the trillions of cells that make up your body, just by dividing. Those trillions of cells are not all the same though.

Just a little while after you started out as a fertilized egg, your cells started performing specific tasks, even started to look different because of that. Differentiation means that one cell performs a different function than another cell, depending on where it is in your body.

Not sure if this will help.

Which of the following correctly explains why scientists believe that great apes like chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely
noname [10]

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))
