<u>Answer:</u>

Searches for its food sources by growing outward and retracts.

Option: (D)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The slime mold is a eukaryotic organism with a nucleus and they grow in warm regions on decaying log/vegetation.
  • When food is available the slime mould exists as a single celled organism.
  • When there is a shortage of food the slime mold extends into branches in search of food.
  • It extends outward to the location where the food is present. Then it retracts to its initial position.

I need an hypothisis on How does temperature change affect surface tension?
Dafna1 [17]

Hypothesis: I believe an increase in temperature would lead to a decrease in surface tension.

Here's why: As the temperature increases, the molecular interaction between the liquids molecules becomes weaker because the hydrogen bond is the main factor for association between two molecules. It is a very weak bond to begin with, so when the temperature increases, it just further weakens it.

Mastering biology use the completed punnett square in part b to answer the questions below about the f2 generation. answer each
Sav [38]
<span>1) The probability of F2 seed chosen at random will be yellow is the same as asking about the probability of forming a yellow seed in that generation. The answer is 3/4 (75%) because 1/4 = 25% GG is homozygous dominant and the rest 2/4 = 50% Gg are heterozygous.

2) In the F2 generation there are two genotypes that will breed true, which is homozygotic genotypes: GG and gg. But of these two, only one of them is yellow. The answer is 1/3 because from all the yellow seeds that resulted (GG, Gg and gG) only one has the genotype for true breeding.

3) The probability of taking out three seeds in which a least one is yellow can be calculated by subtracting the only  probability that doesn't fit the criterion, which is taking out a green seed 3 times: \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4}  = 1/64.
 Then substract that to 1 1-  \frac{1}{64} = \frac{63}{64}

4) there are three possible groupings in which the green is taken once and the yellow seeds taken twice. The first possibility (follow the example) is the green being the first to come out, another possibility is being the second and the last possibility is being taken in the third time.
For example, Green yellow yellow- probability : </span>
<span><span><span>\frac{1}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}</span> = 9/64

This is one possibily, but since there are 3, multiply it by 3 and you obtain the final answer:2</span>7/64. </span>
