A species of salamander has two tail length phenotypes. Short tails are completely dominant over long tails. A scientists crosse

None of the answer options is correct.B. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the heterozygous genotype.C. If half the offspring are the recessive phenotype and half are the dominant phenotype, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.D.

Answer:

D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.

Explanation:

The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.

If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.

What type of ions carry the impulse across the synapse from one neuron to the next ?
grandymaker [24]

It's the sodium ion.

When a neural impulse is fired in both neurons, it is always cause by an excited electron in one neuron moving to the other neuron to destabilize the balance of ions trying to keep them at equilibrium. This action either depolarizes or hyper-polarizes the membrane. If it does, then sodium ions--the key deficient ones--can flow into that region of low charge and maintain that state of low charge, keeping the cell membrane stable.

What mass of water in grams will fill a fish tank 100 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 30 cm high?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

150,000cm^3, or 1,500m^3

Explanation:

The question is basically asking the volume of this rectangular tank.

The formula to find the volume is length x width x height.

This is because we're trying to find the area of the base (length x width), and then we're multiplying the base times the height, to get how much of the base area can fit in the height of the rectangle.

So, the answer is 100cm x 50cm x 30cm = 150,000cm^3, or 1,500m^3, because 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

Rainbow trout is non-native to the United States. However, this species is breeding with the native Gila trout. Scientists recen
geniusboy [140]

Answer: C. Preying

Explanation:

A non-native species is the species which is introduced to a new ecosystem. This species is introduced intentionally or accidentally to a new ecosystem by human beings or they may enter to the ecosystem by their own.

A non-native species can be invasive which means it can compete with the native species for resources like shelter, food and mates.

According to the given situation, the Gila trouts being the native species has been affected by the non-native Rainbow trout. This may be because of the fact that non-native species can be invasive for the native species. As the species is used as mate by the non-native species and they may become the prey of non-native species. This has resulted in the extinction of the species of Gila trouts.

Why do you think it is important to study the science of human life (biology) in psychology
barxatty [35]

Answer:

to understand the human and animal behaviour

Explanation:

By looking at the biological bases of human behavior, psychologists are better able to understand how the brain and physiological processes might influence the way people think, act, and feel.
