Let D be the dominant allele and d be the recessive allele. Possibilities:
DD (dominant phenotype)
Dd (dominant phenotype)
dd (recessive phenotype)

Therefore, there are three genotypes, two phenotypes.

The answer is C.

The answer is <span>C.Three genotypes, two phenotypes.

Imagine gene for flower colors. Let A allele be dominant and a allele be recessive allele for the trait. A allele is responsible for red color and a allele for white color

The genotypes are:
1. AA
2. Aa
3. aa

However, there will be only two phenotypes:
1. red flowers
2. white flowers

This is because of the dominance of A allele over a allele. So, red flowers will have plants with genotypes AA and Aa while white flowers will have plants with genotype aa.</span>

In the peppered moth scenarios what is the variation? And the selection?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Variation is number of alleles for the wing color of the peppered moths. The wing color ranges from pure white to pure back.

Selection pressure is predation by birds.

Explanation:

In the wake of the industrial revolution, white-winged peppered moths had a large allelic frequency in the population compared to black-winged peppered moths. However, when the environment changed due to soot produced by industries (making the environment darker) white-winged peppered moths reduced while that of black moths increased.

This is because black moths were able to blend in and camouflage in the dark environment than white-winged peppered moths that stood out to their predators. Black moths, therefore, had an increased chance of reaching adulthood and passing their genes to the next generation. This increased the allelic frequency of black-winged peppered while that of white-winged moths reduced in the population.

Which muscles assist in inhalation when running up the stairs? A) sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, scalenes B) sternocleid
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor, scalenes

Explanation:

During normal inhalation, contraction of the diaphragm and the contraction of external intercostals expands the chest cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity results in reduced alveolar pressure than the atmospheric pressure to facilitate the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.

During deep inhalation as it occurs when running up the stairs, the accessory muscles of inhalation also participate to increase the volume of the chest cavity. The contraction of scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles increase the volume of the chest cavity further to create a greater drop in alveolar pressure.

During forceful inhalation, the sternocleidomastoid muscles serve to elevate the sternum, the scalene muscles serve to elevate the first two ribs while the pectoralis minor elevate the third through fifth ribs.

The first comprehensive life-span view was developed by _____.
Stells [14]
The first comprehensive lifespan view was developed by Erik Erikson. It is called the Erikson's stages of psychosocial development which identifies eight stages where a developing individual should be able to go through from infancy to adulthood. These stages are infancy (0 to 23 months), early childhood (2 to 4 years), preschool years (4 to 5 years), school age (5 to 12 years), adolescence (13 to 19 years), early adulthood (20 to 39 years), adulthood (40 to 64 years) and maturity (65 to death). In each stage, specific values, psychosocial crisis, significant relationship and existential question are being specified by Erikson.
