Male body cells only have one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. It is hypothesized that if both X chromosomes

of a female were active and functioning, they could cause metabolic dysfunction.
Which of the following helps prevent this from occurring?

(Choice A)
A
Each X chromosome takes a turn being active in a cell.

(Choice B)
B
Barr bodies are used to dissolve the extra X chromosome so that only one X remains.

(Choice C)
C
X-inactivation "switches off" one of the X chromosomes.

(Choice D)
D
The second X chromosome is converted into a smaller Y chromosome.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:a. Draw Punnett squares for each couple (you may need to do more than 1 square/ couple)

Baby 2 MUST belong to the Browns because Mr. Brown is the only parent with an A allele to

contribute… then the rest works out as follows:

b. To which parents does baby #1 belong? Why? Hint you may want to refer to your Punnett

squares.

Baby 1 must belong to the Smiths, because they are the only ones with the possibility of EACH

having a recessive allele to pass down to the baby, Mr. Brown has type AB blood and therefore

only has the dominant A and dominant B alleles – no recessive allele possible.

Which phrase describes a density-independent limiting factor that can affect
Alenkasestr [34]

The phrase dune erosion by ocean water along a shoreline best describes a density-independent limiting factor that can affect ecosystem stability (Option B).

<h3>What is a density-independent limiting factor?</h3>

A density-independent limiting factor can be defined as any factor in a given ecosystem that may alter the homeostasis of the population that lives in a given geographic area.

These factors (density-independent limiting factors) are generally abiotic factors such as hurricanes, extreme temperature conditions, the presence of contaminants in the air that hamper life in a given area, etc.

Conversely, density-dependent limiting factors are biotic factors such as competitive species that alter the development of another population.

Therefore, with this data, we can see that a density-independent limiting factor is any abiotic condition that may alter the life of a population in a give geographic area and thus alter the homeostasis of the whole ecosystem.

which of the following is not an abiotic factor in the prairie ecosystem a water b sunlight c grass d soil​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Grass

Explanation:

Biotic means living. There are some obvious abiotic factors here. The only gray area is what "soil" encompasses

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors
