Answer:

D.) A rabbit running a predator

Explanation:

The process of breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O is exergonic process and releases energy which is stored in the form of ATP. ATP serves as energy currency for all the functions performed be living beings.

The rate of glucose breakdown is maximum during intense physical activity to meet the increased demand for ATP.

Among the given options, since the rabbit is running to save its life from a predator, it would use maximum energy to protect itself. hence, the rabbit would exhibit a higher rate of energy production through glucose breakdown as compared to others.

Glucose is broken down any time the body needs energy fast. Since the option with the most strenuous and energy-consuming task is (D) in which a rabbit runs for its life, the answer is (D).

What is the hardy weinberg symbol for the dominant allele

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The Hardy Weinberg symbol for the dominant allele is 'p' in his equilibrium equation.

Explanation:

The equation given by Hardy: " $\bold{p^{2}+2 p q+q^{2}=1}$ " is known as "Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation".
The frequency of dominant allele and recessive allele for a trait is represented by 'p' and 'q' respectively.
2pq in the equation is the frequency for heterozygous genotype.

Conditions that must be considered for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation to satisfy are: no mutations , no flow of gene, large population size, no selective forces , no non-random mating.

I need a argument to: An organism has two copies of a gene for each feature.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Since genes come in more than one version, an organism can have two of the same alleles of a gene, or two different alleles. This is important because alleles can be dominant, recessive, or codominant to each other. I hope this helps
