Answer: C. They emit radiation as they decay.

Explanation:

The radioactive isotopes are the elements that exhibit unstable and heavy nuclei. The isotopes disintegrate or decay by fission to form entities that exhibit stable nuclei. The radioactive elements are the parent atoms which disintegrate into daughter products and subatomic particles. This disintegration process liberates a lot of energy in the form of radiation like gamma rays. Hence, the type of radiation emitted by the disintegration or decay process of the radioactive isotopes can be useful to detect their elemental type and their origin.

The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. Cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.

Justify your answer by filling in the blanks. Both parents have white fur. way that this can happen is if their genotypes are bo
MissTica

Answer:

Both parents have white fur. <em>The only</em> way that this can happen is if their genotypes are both <em>homozygous (bb)</em>. Therefore, both parents pass the (b) allele to every offspring. When you combine two of these alleles, the resulting genotype is <em>(bb);</em> therefore, the resulting  offspring have white fur.

Explanation:

A homozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles for a gene are similar. A heterozygous trait can be described as a trait in which both the alleles of a gene are different. If an allele masks the effect of another allele, it is said to be dominant. the allele that gets suppressed is termed as recessive.

Hence, for a recessive trait to occur both the alleles of a gene should be homozygous recessive.

The punnet square for the above cross is shown below:

        b       b

b       bb     bb

b       bb      bb
