Answer:

The correct answer is letter A: sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and the sympatetic systems. The parasympathetic is responsible for stimulates “rest-and-digest” activities, which occur during body rest, such as slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure, adrenaline and blood sugar. The sympathetic responses for “fight-flight-or-freeze” situations. The sympathetic system acts directly (via impulses transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system) and indirectly (via catecholamines) on the cardiovascular system, leading to accelerate heartbeat. Thus, Harry’s physiological responses can be attributed to his sympathetic nervous system.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let the allele for green color of pods be G

and the allele for yellow color of pods be g

Phenotype of true breeding parent with green colored seeds is GG

Phenotype of true breeding parent with yellow colored seeds is gg

In F1 cross

GG mates with gg

Genotype of offspring - Gg

Phenotype of offspring - Green seed

Since the offspring has both the allele for green and yellow seeds color but yet only green is expressed. This indicate that green allele dominated the expression of yellow allele thus, it can be concluded that green seed pods were dominant over yellow seed pods.

Some species form social groups only with members of the same gender. For example, elephants form groups with only females and t
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

When the females tend to form a solitary group, the adult males have an advantage of mating with females in different social groups thus enhancing on the productivity of the species.

Explanation:

When both the sexes of the species tend to make a group, the males and the females of the group have to mate with the members of that particular group and hence the males have restricted mating options which reduce the size of the herd. When the females have a separate social group, the males can mate with the members of different groups and raise the herd size in a short period of time. This helps in the increase in the population size and also helps in avoiding inbreeding depression which happens among small grouped animals.
