Answer: Valves in the veins

Explanation: The flow of the blood inside the body takes place through the veins and arteries. The oxygenated blood from the heart is supplied to the different parts of the body.

The blood flows from the capillaries to the venules and from there to the veins. The blood moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of the smooth muscles in the body.

Most of the blood moves against the gravity so there is a chance that it can backflow so to prevent this there are valves in the veins known as one way valves.

Correct answer looks like to me would be A. Because, if a sunflower has 34 chromosomes, when you split it up into x and y chromosomes, there will be 17 x chromosomes and 17 y chromosomes. Hope this helps!

An ecosystem has 150 organisms of 15 different species. What is the biodiversity index of this ecosystem?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

To calculate this, scientists use a formula called the biodiversity index in order to describe how much are the species of a given area diverse. It is calculated by taking the number of species in the area and divided by the total number of individuals in that area. This gives us the biodiversity index.

In this example, there are 15 species in an area and we divide that by 150 organisms to get a 0.1 biodiversity index.

A pea plant that has round seeds has the genotype Rr. It is crossed with a pea plant that has wrinkled seeds and the genotype rr
alexandr402 [8]
In order to answer this, you will need to set up a Punett Square (I have attached a picture). 

Since Rr is the genotype of round seeds, we know that round must be dominant to wrinkled, and therefore represented by the allele, R.

Since rr is the genotype of wrinkled seeds, we know that wrinkled must be the recessive trait, and there represented by the allele, r.

Since the Punnett Square shows that the genotype ratio is 2Rr : 2rr, or simplified, 1Rr : 1rr, we now know that there is a 50% chance the offspring will have wrinkled seeds.
