The Grand Canyon was carved out by the Colorado River. This caused the separation of members of a squirrel species. Abert’s Squi

rrel lives on the southern side of the canyon and in other parts of the United States. A subspecies, the Kaibab Squirrel, is found around the northern rim of the canyon and nowhere else in the country. As shown here, the two squirrels differ in body and tail coloration. Their ears are also different. These variations are the result of

Answer:

The answer to the proposed situation, the differences between two species of squirrels from the area of the Gran Canyon, who probably had a common ancestor before the change in landscape forced them to naturally adapt, and change, would be: biological adaptation.

Explanation:

Biological adaptation is known as the expression of certain traits in response to the stimulation brought by an environment. In this case, the squirrels, even though they have a common ancestor, were brought apart by landscape differences. Thus, each one had to face different environmental situations that forced them to adapt. Because each environment: one living on the southern side of the canyon, and the other only on the northern side, is different, and demands differently from the species, they had to biologically adapt to it, and thus, their genetics phenotypically expressed the necessary traits to survive in their new conditions.

Mendel used single gene (or monohybrid) experiments to describe his law of segregation. He used _______ characters (or dihybrid)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Law of Independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.

However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.

inessss [21]

Answer: d) Clinical examination

Explanation:

A clinical examination is a physical examination of the body which is usually done without any surgery. It notices the external characteristics and internal characteristics of body specially by using the diagnostic tests such as x-rays, MRI and others. This is done to determine the cause of disease and disorder.

The given assessment is the part of the clinical examination because external features such as skin, eyes and tongue can be examined in a clinical study to identify the disease or disorder and it's cause.

Scurvy is a disease that until the nineteenth century was common among sailors and others whose diets were deficient in vitamin
alina1380 [7]
<h2>Scurvy </h2>

Explanation:

(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons

  • The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
  • Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
  • Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
  • Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
  • Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
  • α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
  • Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low;  enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive;  proline is not hydroxylated;  the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down;  defects in tissues that depend on collagen ; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising

(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now

British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes

tatiyna
The circulatory system helps the excretory and digestive system do their jobs because the waste from the blood in the circulatory system is eliminated from the body through the excretory system, and the nutrients absorbed by the digestive system are transported through the blood.
