Squirrels will make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed in their territory. When a red block the same size of the owl

is placed in the territory, the squirrel does not alarm. What can you conclude from these observations?

The squirrels are attuned in their brains to understand that owls are a threat because it is a predator. This is visual stimuli that evolved over many years to elicit a conditioned response. This is an innate behavior (meaning that it has been pre-programmed into an animal's genes) and offspring are naturally born with it.

Describe what happens as a plant's turgor pressure increases and decrease AS MUCH POINTS AS I CAN GIVE​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Brainliest pls

Explanation:

Turgor pressure in plants. Turgor pressure within cells is regulated by osmosis and this also causes the cell wall to expand during growth. Along with size, rigidity of the cell is also caused by turgor pressure; a lower pressure results in a wilted cell or plant structure (i.e. leaf, stalk).

Turgor pressure in plants plays a key role in processes such as growth, development, mechanical support, signalling, flowering and stress response. Turgor pressure is an ideal means in plant cells through which the energy content of water molecules (water potential) can be adjusted quickly, within seconds.

What is a phenotype?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

a. the result of an individual's genetic constitution

Explanation:

Phenotype is the morphological expression of genotype. The genetic constituent of an individual is known as genotype. Genotype determines the genetic traits and imparts specific features of the organisms which constitute the phenotype of the organism.

The phenotype of the organisms depends on the type of the alleles of the genes present in the genome of the organisms.

For example, a human with genotype "ii" has blood type "O". Here, "ii" is the genotype that is responsible for phenotype "O blood type".

On the other hand, a human with genotype "IAIA" has blood type "A". Here. "blood type A" is the phenotype.

Make connections Imagine you want to study one of the human crystallins, proteins present in the lens of the eye (see Figure 1.8
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

In order to clone the sequence of the gene for one of the human crystallins found in the eye, there is a need for the application of polymerase chain reaction. In the process, the particular sequence of gene is denatured and then replicated various times to generate various clones of the gene sequence.  

By producing various copies of the gene sequence for the human crystallin, that is, desirable, a scientist can examine various distinct characteristics of the protein as there is always more to examine with.
