Answer:

A dominant allele is a variation of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles. A dominant allele typically encodes for a functioning protein. ... When a dominant allele is completely dominant over another allele, the other allele is known as recessive.

A recessive allele is a variety of genetic code that does not create a phenotype if a dominant allele is present. ... A heterozygous individual will appear the same as a homozygous dominant individual. This means that an organisms with two dominant alleles appear the same as an organism with only one functioning allele.

Which of the following could be found on either public or private land?

Reptile [31]

<span>The option that could be found on either public or private land is C. mine. A state park can only be found on public land, because parks are owned by states, not regular people. A single-family residence is only found on private land, because that is a house that a family owns. A factory is on private land only, because it belongs to a person or another company. Which leaves us with mines, that can be found both on private and public lands.</span>

AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. City A because there are no pollution sources upstream.

Explanation:

Water pollution is th contamination of water. There are many means through which water is contaminated such as industrial waste, agricultural waste and domestic waste et-cetra.

City A and City B get water from sunset lake and moth lake which have factories (industrial waste) and farmland (agricultural waste) nearby them, which are responsible for the contamination of river water. due to this cities can recieve contaminated water which can affect their health.

But the quality of water in City A will be best than that of City B because according to the image, City A do not have nay upstream soooooource of pollution, as factories and farmland are located at downstream.

Hence, the correct option is A.

1. A normal mammalian cell will shrink if it is placed into_________. (Assume all solutes are non-penetrating) A. pure water B.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

B. 50 mM glucose; E. 300 mM glucose

Explanation:

In order for the cell to shrink the concentration of solutes in the blood should be above normal or higher than the intracellular concentration, so that water moves from the inside of the cell to the outside by the process known as osmosis.

The normal blood levels of NaCl = ~ 154 mM; therefore A, C and D will not cause any shrinkage.

The normal blood levels of glucose = ~ 3.9 to 7.1 mM; therefore water would move from the intracellular to the extracellular space since the solutes are 10x higher outside the cell, causing shrinkage of the cell.
