The arctic fox has 50 chromosomes (25 per set), and the common red fox has 38 chromosomes (19 per set). These species can interb

reed to produce viable but infertile offspring. How many chromosomes would the offspring have? What problems do you think may occur during meiosis that would explain the offspring’s infertility?

Answer:

The organism is sterile because parts of the chromosomes in the zygote will only have a  single set of chromosomes rather than the ideal pair. The arctic fox will produce gamates with 25 chromosomes (a single set) while the red fox will produce gametes with 19 chromosomes (another set). These gametes are supposed to fuse and have their chromosomes paired. However notice that the offspring will have (25 – 19) six (6)  unpaired chromosomes. This means that during the formation of gametes in this hybrid offspring, there will be an issue in meiosis I which will result in nonviable gametes.

In a certain wildlife park, park rangers are able to track the movements of many rhinoceroses because those animals wear radio c
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

E. Weather radio collars are the only practical means that park rangers have for tracking the movement of the rhinoceros in the park.

Explanation:

E. Weather radio collars are the only practical means that park rangers have for tracking the movement of the rhinoceros in the park.

Nowadays there is a lot of technology available for tracking and monitoring of wildlife in big areas. If these radio collars are falling off very frequently and the tranquilizer is being used a lot, it means the method they are using is not the best or very efficient for this type of big animals.

They can use for example GPS trackers in a microchip implanted below the rhinoceroses skin or <u>even inside the horn</u>. With this process the park rangers would just need to use the tranquilizer once to immobilize the animal for a little bit, implant the GPS tracker or microchip; <u>this device won't fall or slip off and won't do </u><u>any harm</u><u> to the rhinos either</u>. This procedure will reduce the risk of the collar falling off and the use of the tranquilizer every time it does fall. Additionally, with this trackers, the park rangers, supervisor or vet can access the information <u>24 hours a day, in real-time</u> from a computer or even an electronic device. This new technology even offers an alarm systems by SMS or calls every time an abnormal rhino activity is detected.

Margaret [11]
<span>The answer would be: Continue patient care by getting a complete SAMPLE history and perform a complete secondary assessment.

If the reading of glucose test is normal, then you can exclude hypoglycemia from the possible diagnosis. Because the patient is accompanied by his mother, you can ask a brief history to exclude other possible diagnosis and complete secondary assessment before further help comes. The information would be beneficial to the healthcare personnel that will comes for help.

If the pair of materials listed below were rubbed together, give the charge that each would have in the same order as listed. us
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Simply put, the property of electron affinity refers to the relative amount of love that a material has for electrons. If atoms of a material have a high electron affinity, then that material will have a relatively high love for electrons. This property of electron affinity will be of utmost importance as we explore one of the most common methods of charging - triboelectic charging, also known as charging by friction or rubbing.

Suppose that a rubber balloon is rubbed with a sample of animal fur. During the rubbing process, the atoms of the rubber are forced into close proximity with the atoms of the animal fur. The electron clouds of the two types of atoms are pressed together and are brought closer to the nuclei of the other atoms. The protons in the atoms of one material begin to interact with the electrons present on the other material
