Answer:

Darwin observed farmers performed selective breeding ( also termed as artificial selection) that includes selection of good breeds of animals ( having desirable traits) which were first selected through natural selection.

Farmers allowed them to interbreed so that desirable traits accumulated in the hybrid organisms. This increased the overall yield or productivity of animals ( such as good milk yield from cows).

The farmers kept the animals with desirable traits and sold those that lacked the traits. This eventually led to the improvement of their own stock.

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-gly

stira [4]

Suppose that part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine-proline-glycine-alanine to tyrosine-histidine-glycine-alanine. This change was most likely caused by a point mutation called a substitution.

Explanation:

Any protein is synthesized by joining a number of amino acids together. This amino acid is placed based on the sequences of the DNA , for every 3 sequence there is an amino acid that is synthesized and therefore it is called as a triplet codon, since there may be many sequence for a single amino acid we call it as degenerate codon.

Answer:

Correct answer is ''e'' the sympatetic nervows system

Explanation:

THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM How does the endocrine orchestra work? 1- Nervous Stimuli to the Hypothalamus  production of releasing (stimulatory) or inhibitory hormones, transported via a portal system of vessels to the anterior pituitary gland 2- Anterior Pituitary Gland  pituitary trophic hormones 3- Pituitary trophic hormones stimulate Peripheral Endocrine Glands  production of peripheral hormones 4- Hormone/Receptor Interactions in target organs  hormone actions 5- Peripheral hormones exert Negative Feedback Mechanisms  supression of hypothalamic & pituitary hormones.

slega [8]

Answer:

1:1:1:1 walnut comb

Explanation:

If a cross is made between a female who is RRpp (rose comb) and a male who is rrPP (pea comb) then:

P: RRpp x rrPP

F1: RrPp RrPp RrPp RrPp

This means that all of the offspring in F1 generation will have heterozygous genotype (at both loci). Since it contains both dominant alleles, the phenotype is walnut comb.

A salt solution has a concentration of 200 g/L. How many grams of salt are contained in 500 mL of this solution?

noname [10]

Answer:

100g/500mL

Explanation:

1ml is .001 of 1 L

this means that per one ml, there is 200g*.001, or .2g/mL, or simply .2g.

now we multiply this by 500, for the 500ml we are calculating. 500*.2=100.

We can also skip these steps and take 200g*.5L, as 500mL is 1/2 liter. We get the same outcome, so the answer is 100g
