The nervous system contributes to the success of birds as flying animals because of
Paladinen [302]
The nervous system contributes to the success of birds as flying animals because of all of these following things:
1. the well-developed integrative center of the brain that controls eating, singing, and flying
2. the well-developed center used to coordinate movement and balance
3. the well-developed optic lobes

Thanks to these things, birds are quite successful at flying because of their developed nervous system.

Explain what happens to muscle force production at extremes of length
7nadin3 [17]
The sarcomere<span> </span><span>is the basic unit of a </span><span>striated muscle and the force of a muscle is directly related to the extension that the sarcomere is under. When a sarcomere is extended from 1.5 micrometres to about 3 micrometres, the muscles' force is great and max at about 2/2.5 micrometres. When the muscle is fully extended and, therefore, the sarcomere is extended over than 3 micrometres, the muscle force decreases exponentially.</span>

Imagine that a given species has a gene for hair color (B = dominant brown, b = recessive white) and a gene that controls hair l
serg [7]

Answer:

Phenotypes: All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)

Explanation:

Hair color :

B = dominant brown

b = recessive white

Hair length :

S = dominant short

s = recessive long

The dihybrid cross between parents with the genotypes:

BBSS × BbSs

If BBSS self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, BS, BS, BS

If BbSs self crossed; we have the following traits= BS, Bs, bS, bs

The dihybrid cross is as follows:

              BS                     BS                  BS                BS

BS          BBSS                BBSS            BBSS             BBSS        

Bs          BBSs                 BBSs            BBSs              BBSs

bS          BbSS                BbSS           BbSS              BbSS

bs          BbSs                 BbSs            BbSs              BbSs

Phenotypes = All Brown Hair Color and All Short Hair Length

Genotypes include:

Homozygous dominant hair color and  homozygous dominant hair length: (BBSS, BBSS, BBSS, BBSS).

Homozygous dominant hair color and heterozygous hair length: (BBSs, BBSs, BBSs, BBSs)

Heterozygous hair color and homozygous dominant hair length: (BbSS, BbSS, BbSS, BbSS)

Heterozygous hair colour and heterozygous hair length: (BbSs, BbSs, BbSs, BbSs)
