<u>Answer</u>: Option D ww

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The <em>genotype</em> of an organism is defined as its genetic makeup.
  • According to the question, the cross is being made between a cat with genotype Ww and a cat with genotype ww.
  • Since, W is dominant over w, the parent with genotype Ww will have long whiskers and the parent with genotype ww will have short whiskers.
  • When a cross is made between them, we get the following result :

<em>Ww X ww ------> Ww Ww ww ww</em>

Since Ww will have long whiskers, the progeny with short whiskers will have the genotype ww.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Venus flytrap communicate with other organisms by secreting a sugary substance (nectar) in its leaf glands.

Explanation:

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure that closes when the small hairs on the inside of the structure are touched.

The leaf of this plant contains a watery fluid secreted by glands on its open traps. Organisms like flies are attracted to the secreted nectar and perches on it; only for the hairs of the flytrap to get shut due to that touch and cell expansion triggered.

Root hairs have what kind of roles in absorption and transport of water and minerals?
Leni [432]

Explanation:

Root hairs are found in the plant it is a hair-like structure present on the surface of the root tip and Root hairs have large surface area that increase the absorption rate of water and minerals.

Water is absorbed by root hair cells through the process called Osmosis and Minerals ions is  absorbed  root hairs by the process called active transport.

The function of root hair is to collect the minerals and waters present in the soil and then transfer these nutrients and water through roots to different parts of the plant.

Whereas superficial flexors in the anterior compartment of the forearm originate from the _____ epicondyle of the humerus, the s
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Whereas superficial flexors in the anterior compartment of the forearm originate from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the superficial extensors in the posterior compartment of the forearm originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

Explanation:

The forearm has 2 compartments: an anterior compartment responsible for the flexion of the wrist, and a posterior compartment with the function to extend the wrist.

The superficial muscles in the anterior compartment arise from the common flexor tendon that originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This compartment is mostly innervated by the median nerve.

The superficial muscles in the posterior compartment originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and are innervated by the radial nerve.

The ulnar nerve innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus in the forearm.

What do bears prefer to eat most
Temka [501]

Answer:

only the basic bears

Explanation:

Black bears are very opportunistic eaters. Most of their diet consists of grasses, roots, berries, and insects. They will also eat fish and mammals—including carrion—and easily develop a taste for human foods and garbage.

Alaskan brown bears are opportunistic eaters and will eat almost anything. Their diet consists of berries, flowers, grasses, herbs, and roots. They get their protein from beavers, deer, caribou, salmon, carcasses, and other small mammals.

Polar bears feed mainly on ringed and bearded seals. ... When other food is unavailable, polar bears will eat just about any animal they can get, including reindeer, small rodents, seabirds, waterfowl, fish, eggs, vegetation (including kelp), berries, and human garbage.

A panda's daily diet consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems and shoots of various bamboo species. Bamboo contains very little nutritional value so pandas must eat 12-38kg every day to meet their energy needs.

kumpel [21]

Answer: Sally

If Harry's negligent act injures Sally, and Susan, while attempting to come to Sally's aid breaks her arm in the process then, Harry is liable for the harm to Sally.

Explanation:

As a mathematical expression, we can say the action of Harry H, is directly proportional to the injury to Sally S; while the mistake of Susan N is directly proportional to injury to Sally S.

So, if H = S and N = S, it is safe to say

H = N = S.

Thus, Harry negligence create room for Susan mistake, which eventually harmed Sally.
