The cat species are extremely hard to tell apart as they all have pretty much the same anatomical structure, with the size usually being what differs them most easily. The lion and the tiger are no exceptions. Both species share pretty much the same anatomy, their size is similar, their genetics are almost identical, their behavior is largely the same. This can be very confusing as it seems like it is one species we are talking about, not two separate ones. The only obvious difference between the tiger and the lion is their fur. The tigers have orange base with vertical black stripes, while the lions are dark yellowish, with the males having a mane as well. The easiest way to check if its two different species in question is to see if they can produce healthy offspring. This is where we can see that it is different species we are talking about. While the lion and the tiger are able to produce offspring, the offspring is abnormally marge, much more than any of the parents. But what is more important is that the offspring is sterile, and very often comes with serious deficiencies, thus providing us with proof that it is two separate species.

viva [34]

Answer:

All progeny with heterozygous dominant genotype

Explanation:

Mendel crossed two pure breeding pea plants with respect to one genetic trait. He found that the F1 progeny obtained by crossing two pure breeding parent plants is always heterozygous dominant. The phenotype of the F1 progeny was always the phenotype of the dominant pure breeding parent plant.

For instance, purple flower color is a dominant trait over the white flower color in pea plants. When he crossed a pure breeding purple-flowered pea plant (PP) with a pure breeding white-flowered pea plant (pp), the F1 progeny was expressed the phenotype of the dominant parent and had purple flowers. The genotype of the F1 plants was Ww (heterozygous dominant).

In order to contract, muscle fibers need
solmaris [256]

Answer:

When the muscle starts to contract and needs energy, creatine phosphate transfers its phosphate back to ADP to form ATP and creatine. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme creatine kinase and occurs very quickly; thus, creatine phosphate-derived ATP powers the first few seconds of muscle contraction.
