Two years of dry weather are followed by two wet years, causing the grass population to rise. How will the increase in grass aff

Ulleksa [173]

Answer is;

The animal population in the environment will increase.

This is because the grass is the main producer in a habitat. Its plentifulness directly influences that of the consumers up the food web. Increase in grass population means reduced competition for primary consumers and their population will therefore increase. This will also reduce competition for secondary consumers and tertiary consumers up the chain.

That the allele that gives human red blood cells increased resistance to malarial parasites also reduces the amount of oxygen th

ella [17]

Answer:

A (Genotype)

Explanation:

All organisms possess genetic material which contains information required for certain functions/traits. This genetic material is stored as DNA and contains certain segment that encodes functional products (proteins) called GENE. The make-up of the genes responsible for a particular characteristics in an organism is called the GENOTYPE. Genes occur in variant forms called ALLELES, which are inherited from each parent.

These alleles are responsible for the varying expression of a particular trait e.g. allele T can be responsible for Tallness while the variant form, allele t can be responsible for shortness. In this example, we can see that height is the trait here but the different alleles encode varying expression of it. The combination of the alleles received by both parents, which collectively determines the trait to be expressed is the GENOTYPE.

N.B: The genotype refers to the physically invisible genes not the expressed trait itself, which is the phenotype.

In this case, an allele (gene variant) is responsible for the resistance of Red Blood cells and regulates oxygen carried by them. The phenotype is the resistance that the RBC's possess and its reduced ability to carry oxygen but the combination of alleles responsible for that trait is the GENOTYPE.

A single celled paramedic is placed in a hypotonic solution.what will happen to the cell?

Gnesinka [82]

When a single celled paramedic is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell swells and then bursts.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Hypotonic solutions are the solutions that contain more water than present in a cell. Hence, when an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will undergo osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of any form of solvent through a plasma membrane to a higher concentration from a lower concentration until the the external concentration matches the inner one.

To put it in simple words, when a single animal cell is places in a solution which has more water than other solutes, the water will invade the cell until it can accumulate the amount that equalizes the inner and external concentration. The cell will begin to swell up until there is no more space and finally, it will burst. For example, when you put water on a cloth that has blood stain on it, the cells will burst and make the stain worse than before.

The treatment phase for substance abuse generally consists of:

Schach [20]

Answer:

D. All of these are correct.

Explanation:

Depending on the institution, substance-abuse treatments may vary in regard to duration and phases. Generally, treatments for substance abuse consist of four phases:

Initiation: This first stage focuses on providing helpful information to the person/patient about all treatments and options. During this phase, the person goes through a process of detoxification, that is, preventing them from using the drug to remove their dependence.
Abstinence - first phase: This stage is one of the most difficult ones as the person usually exhibits a variety of emotions associated with depression, sadness, anxiety because of the withdrawal of the drug. During this phase, they received psychological help to prevent any relapse and to become more stable, that is, to control drug cravings.
Abstinence - second phase: This stage is focused on maintaining abstinence and stability. In conjunction with the second phase, this is also difficult but rewarding. The person receives behavioral therapy so he/she can acknowledge how the drug intake resulted in numerous issues and, in contrast, stopping its use can change her/his life in a diversity of positive ways.
Aftercare: This stage focuses on long-term goals and, through therapy and counselling, helps the person to obtain education, find a job, and continue their stability and abstinence.
