</span>The milkweed is the primary producer in the
ecosystem. It manufactures food from the abiotic factors in the soil such as
nitrates and water and those in the atmosphere such as carbon-dioxide and
sunlight. The milk weed is then fed on by the caterpillar and a primary
consumer. The caterpillar is then fed on the mocking bird (secondary consumer)

</span>Increased human population growth and their activities
have resulted in the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere. This has increased the global temperature. This increase of
global temperature increase ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching.
Another example is depletion of water sources
by human activities hence causing drought. Drought reduces the amount of
vegetation growth due to scarcity of water in the soil (due to lowering of the
water table) for plant growth.

Answer:
25%
Explanation:
<u>Genotypes and phenotypes:</u>
- SS = straight hair
- CC= curly hair
- SC = wavy hair
- AA or A0= type A blood
- BB or B0= type B blood
- AB = type AB blood
- 00 = type 0 blood
A man with straight hair and A blood has the genotype SS AA or SS A0.
A woman with wavy hair and B blood has the genotype SC BB or SC B0.
Their first child has straight hair and O blood: SS 00
Because the child has type 0 blood, both parents must have a 0 allele, so their genotypes are SS A0 and SC B0.
<u>If their second child is a boy with straight hair, what is the probability that he has A blood?</u>
The hair and blood type genes are independent, so the hair phenotype of the child is irrelevant to determine the probability of him having A blood.
The parental cross for blood type is A0 x B0.
If you do a Punnett Square, you'll get the following offspring:
25% AB, 25% B0, 25% A0 and 25% 00.
The answer is the child has a probability of 25% of having A blood.
<span>As a part of the urea recycling process, in order for the concentration gradient to be maintained, it is important that urea makes up about approximately one-half of the solutes of the interstitial fluid concentration gradient. Urea is detached from the fluid-tube in the gathering duct by urea uniporters; it spreads back in the fluid-tube in the thin part of the rising limb. Urea is cycled among the tubule collectors and loop in the nephron.</span>
