Answer:
The classic tool to predict the patterns of heredity is using a <u>Punnett Square</u>.
Explanation:
In genetics, a trait can be considered dominant or recessive. Since the important discoveries of Gregor Mendel, scientists use a <u>capital letter (D) to indicate a trait is dominant, and a lowcase letter (d) to show a trait is recessive. </u>
Assuming that a scientist knows the genotype for the desired trait they want to predict on the offpsring, a Punnett Square is<u> a reliable tool and a graphic representation that permits them to visualize the potential features of the offspring by showing how the alleles may be exhibited and passed on the offspring and will determine the possible combination of genotypes.</u>
<em>How does it work?</em>
For example, as we can observe in the image below, both parents are homozygous for a trait <em>PP=Purple; pp=white</em>. P is dominant and p is recessive (the color purple will be dominant, and the white will be recessive). So, we put one parent's genotype in the top row (PP) and the other parent's genotype in the left column (pp) and combine one of each letters on the squares, <em>i.e</em>. one of each parent's alleles. Then, we can observe in the results that 3 of the offspring will exhibit the purple color (PP, Pp, Pp) and only one will exhibit the white recessive color (pp); or more properly known as a genotypic ratio of 3:1.
Answer:
When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.
Explanation:
- Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:
- Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
- Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.
- When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):
- A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
- This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.
- When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:
- The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
- The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
- These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.

Chordates (phylum Chordata) are animals which are either vertebrates or one of several closely related invertebrates. They are united by having, for at least some period of their life cycle, a notochord, a HOLLOW DORSAL NERVE CORD
Answer:
A graph not only depends on the data that we are graphing, there are other important factors such as the units we use (here we have °C vs years, but we could have °F vs days and we would see a different graph, which represents the exact same information) , the scale we use (a lot of graphs are misleading because of the use of logarithmic scales, we need to be clear about the scales we use), where we put the zero of each axis (We usually use the intersection of both axes as the (0, 0) point, but this is not a necessary condition, we could manipulate our coordinate axis as we want) , etc.
So there are a lot of things that can impact on how we see the graph of the same data.
About the second answer, one could interpret from that graph that the actual temperature between the years 1880 and 2020 was around 14°C.
