<span>The answer is 12 because meiosis reduces the amount of chromosomes produced, thus producing a haploid number of n. Dogfish shark have a chromosome number of 2n. Therefore, n = 12. In meiosis, the chromosome number is reduced in half, so that it may fertilize with another haploid gamete to form a zygote</span>

Does commensalism involve abiotic factors or biotic factors ? ​
monitta

Answer:

Commensalism only occur among biotic factors

Explanation:

Abiotic factors are non-living factors that interacts with the biotic factor within an ecosystem. Commensalism is an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the other derives neither benefit nor harm.

From the above definition of commensalism, it is clear to note that it only involves two organisms rather than non-living organisms, hence; commensalism involves only biotic factors

A newly discovered solar system is found 300 billion kilometers from the sun. How many AU does this represent? Show your work.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

1 kilometer = 6.68 × 10^{-9} (<<<AU is in scientific notation here)

To convert 300 billion kilometer (3,000,000,000 km)  into AU you must multiply the kilometer by the equivalent of 1 km in AU (6.68 × 10^{-9})

3,000,000,000 × (6.68 × 10^{-9}) =  20.04 AU

Hope this helped!

Which of the following describes the ability of a single gene to have multiple phenotypic effects?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A, pleiotropy.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy - genes that have multiple phenotypic effects. Remember that phenotype means a physical characteristic caused by a gene, such as eye color or fur patterns.

Incomplete dominance - when neither allele is dominant and they mix together in the phenotype. A popular example is a red flower crossing with a white flower and resulting in a pink flower.

Epistasis - when two genes contribute to the phenotype, but one gene completely masks another gene. An example would be labrador fur colors.

Multiple alleles - 3 or more alternative forms of a gene, but only 2 alleles can occupy an organism. An example is blood type.

Hope this helps!

What is the role of plastic in your life? And why is it important to think about the role of plastic in your life?
Phoenix [80]
Plastics clearly constitute an important component of the range of materials used in modern society. Almost all aspects of daily life involve plastics or rubber in some form or the other. ... Owing to their light weight, plastics reduce transportation costs and, therefore, atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions./Plastic is durable and provides protection from contaminants and the elements.
