Answer:B

Explanation:

This reaction demonstrated Bohr effect. it takes place in the  cytoplasm  of RBC , because this is the location of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which catalyzed it .  

The hydrogen ion and bicarbonate  are transferred out  of the  RBC into plasma. Chloride ion diffused into the RBC to neutralize drop in pH(chloride shift).

 The hydrogen ion is mobbed by haemoglobin in its buffer effect, while the carbonate is transferred to the lungs  where it is broken down, to release C02 .85% of blood C02 is transported in this form .

The CO2 released out of  the lungs , created a concentration gradient for  influx of Oxygen into the lungs. This is the significance of this reaction.

In addition, Option D which involved direct reaction of C02 with Haemoglobin to form carbaminoheamoglobin  is another reaction which takes place in the RBC. it is a reversible reaction where the C02 is transported to the lungs.10% C02 is tranported in this form,

The allele for brown fur in mice (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b).
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Genotype: Bb (heterozygous)

Phenotype: brown fur

Explanation:

Since allele B is dominant to allele b, as long as genotype has allele B in it, its effect of phenotype will be expressed instead, regardless of whether allele b is present.

As mouse genotype is stated as Bb, on the chromosome from its parents, allele B comes from one parent while allele b is inherited from the other parent.

Phenotype is the expressed trait. In this case, as genotype has allele B, the phenotype will be brown fur as its effect is expressed.

If you need to prevent waves from eroding a beach, what would you do
Zielflug [23.3K]
Waves erode a beach by pressing continually against them, right? I have heard of this happening many times. What the people do is build a small trench around the outside of the beach so the waves filter down into it, then back out instead of washing up against the sand. The other thing they do is wait a couple years for the beach to go down, then they put in new sand during the winter.
