Answer:

All of the above are possible proximate causes of the behavior

Explanation:

Cats have reproductive organs, these organs go through a normal cycle, called heat cycle, that let reproduction to occur. During this cycle, they have hormonal fluctuations that mean that their body is ready to breed.

During the heat cycle, cats have several behaviors and signs such as spraying urine, rolling on the floor and scratching at doors begging to go outside. When a female cat is in heat, she is likely to urine more frequently and even spray urine on objects, <u>to let any nearby male cats know that she is ready to be mated with</u>. The urine contains pheromones and hormones, signals of her reproductive status to other male cats.

In the wild, females cats pee on trees or objects <u>to find a male cat to mate with</u>. This is why one might infer that <u>female cats did this in the past </u>and the domestic cats inherited this behavior.

Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents
vredina [299]

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

The illustration below indicates that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both complementary and balanced. An excess of
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis has to do with the synthesis of sugar molecules from inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide. Respiration on the other hand has to do with breaking down of the sugar molecule from photosynthesis to release the energy locked up in the sugar for various metabolic processes in the plant's body.

<em>If both processes are balanced, there will be no net sugar production. Hence, if an excess of sugar produced fossil fuels, it thus means that there was net production of sugar in the past. The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration in the past.</em>
