Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.

The model attached represents facilitated transport, which is answer choice D. In the model, there are protein channels, which allow molecules to pass through them if they're too large to fit through the aquaporins (making diffusion an incorrect answer.) We can eliminate active transport since ATP isn't used to control transport, and we can eliminate endocytosis as it is a form of active transport. The remaining answer would be facilitated transport, which is a form of passive transport. Hope this helps! :)

cupoosta [38]

Answer;

-Coral reefs are a very important component of the ocean’s ecosystem because they support sea life, such as crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.

Explanation;

-Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

-They protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms ( they provide a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, property damage, and erosion) and also provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms.

AleksAgata [21]

The nurse should suggest to the patient that she should maintain a LATERAL position. Lateral positioning means that the patient is lying on her side, it can be on the right side or the left side. This position is a good position for someone who is experiencing premature labour.
