What are genotypes and phenotypes

Biology
2 answers:
Hoochie [10]3 years ago
5 0
The genotype–phenotype distinction is drawn in genetics. "Genotype" is an organism's full hereditary information. "Phenotype" is an organism's actual observed properties, such as morphology, development, or behavior. This distinction is fundamental in the study of inheritance of traits and their evolution.

Many species of gulls feed their chicks by regurgitating food. When parents return from foraging, the gull chicks peck at a red
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

fixed action pattern, key stimulus; key stimulus, fixed action pattern

Explanation:

  • An innate behavior which specific to a species and is highly stereotyped is termed as a fixed action pattern.
  • This behavior occurs due to a neuronal network that is hard-wired in the species and the response is said to be generated following a key stimulus.
  • A key stimulus is the one that generates a fixed action pattern and this is also called a releaser.
  • A key stimulus can be in the form of shape, sound, color, or a combination of these.
  • In this case, the red spot is a stimulus for the chicks which causes them to peck at their parent's bill, and hence, the red spot is a key stimulus, and pecking of the chicks is a fixed action pattern.
  • The parents regurgitate the food only when the chicks peck at their bills, so pecking is a key stimulus for the parents which causes them to regurgitate the food which is a fixed action pattern.

You observe a high proportion of malarial infections in a small village located in Angola. Malaria is caused by the protozoan Pl
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<em>B and C.</em>

Explanation:

The epidemiological triangle is an illustration of interaction among suitable hosts, disease agents, and the environment that drives successful outbreak of diseases.

In order to successfully tackle or reduce the incidence of a disease, the triangle has to be broken.

<em>In the case of malaria which is caused by plasmodium but spread through the female anopheles mosquito, one way of breaking the epidemiological triangle is to eliminate female anopheles mosquito in the environment using any possible means. This will stop the spread of the parasite and hence, the disease.</em>

<em>Another way to reduce/prevent malaria is to prevent the vector, female anopheles mosquito from getting to the host, the human populace. This can also be achieved by several possible means.</em>

Relocating the entire village to a neighbouring village might not break the epidemiological triangle as long as female anopheles mosquito still abounds. In the same vein, antibacterial drugs will not help to treat malaria. However, instructing residents on personal protective measures and controlling the vector through chemical larvicides will go a long way in breaking the triangle and reducing the incidence on the malaria disease.

<em>The correct options is B and C.</em>

Describe the geoscience processes that help to change Earth’s surfaces over time.
Kisachek [45]
Geoscience processes such as weathering, erosion, and deposition are constantly changing Earth's surface. The planet's systems interact to shape Earth's history and future. By mapping the natural events in an area and understanding the geological forces involved, future events can be predicted and forecasted.
