Answer:

Explanation:

Each chromosome represents a twin.like pairs of socks.

This is an analogous problem: you have 2 pairs of socks, one white, one black. Each of the sock is tailored to a specic foot, right or left. How many different ways can the socks be mixed and matched , one for each foot?

Here are the possibilities : left = black, right = black is one such match. Left = white, right = black is another.

so also we will have 23 chromosome pairs

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:a. Draw Punnett squares for each couple (you may need to do more than 1 square/ couple)

Baby 2 MUST belong to the Browns because Mr. Brown is the only parent with an A allele to

contribute… then the rest works out as follows:

b. To which parents does baby #1 belong? Why? Hint you may want to refer to your Punnett

squares.

Baby 1 must belong to the Smiths, because they are the only ones with the possibility of EACH

having a recessive allele to pass down to the baby, Mr. Brown has type AB blood and therefore

only has the dominant A and dominant B alleles – no recessive allele possible.

NARA [144]

Answer: Peroxisomes

Explanation:

These are micro body which is found virtually in all the eukaryotic cells. They are involved in the catabolism of long chain and short chain fatty acid.

They generate the highly reactive oxygen species and it is broken down here only.These molecules are hydrogen peroxide and they are converted into water molecules.

This organelle is known as peroxisomes.

alukav5142 [94]

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis predicts that species diversity will be highest  when the frequency and/or intensity of disturbances are intermediate

Explanation:

The diversity of the species is maximised at an intermediate near of anthropogenic as well as natural disturbances. As the competitively inferior disturbances are being tolerated for species disturbance and are termed to be dominant. Co exist of the sensitive species when the disturbance are either frequent or rare, which possess the reduced level of the disturbances. the productivity is predicted as very less due to competitive exclusion. As the disturbances increases productivity becomes less as most of them unable to sustain the regular destructive occurrence. So with the intermediate disturbances productivity is high as the rapid colonizers and dominant competitors are able to coexist.
