Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

Absorption is a process that takes place in the small intestines or ileum of the GI tract, in which simple and soluble nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream.
Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.

4. Why are rattlesnakes necessary to the balance of life in a forest?

tekilochka [14]

They eat rodents and are eaten by owls and hawks

They are important because without them, the rodent population could become too numerous. Rodents like to chew on tree roots and other plants for nutrients, but this kills the plant. Too many rodents can cause a mass imbalance leading to the death of hundreds of other animals

Interpret the Punnett square. A Punnett square with four rows and four columns. The first row is labeled big-A, big-B. The secon

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The genotypes shown represent gametes. False

One of the possible offspring genotypes is AABB. True

The parent genotypes are ABAbaBab×ABAbaBab. True

This cross shows two alleles for two traits. True

The gametes are diploid and the offspring are diploid. False

The genotypes shown are correct for a dihybrid cross. True

Explanation:

║ AB ║ Ab ║ aB ║ ab

AB║ABAB ║ ABAb║ABaB║ABab

Ab║ AbAB║ AbAb ║AbaB║Abab

aB║aBAB ║ aBAb ║aBaB║aBab

ab║abAB ║ abAb ║abaB ║abab

Drawing the Punnett square we can deduce that the genotypes shown do not represent gametes because there are more than 2 pairs of chromosomes.

As shown in the second column second row of the Punnett square one of the possible genotypes is AABB, it is distributed different (ABAB) but it is the same possible genotype.

The parents' genotypes are the ones that are written in the first columns and first row, they coincide with the ones in the statement.

A dihybrid cross shows the cross between two genes that have different traits.

The gametes are always haploid and the offspring are diploid because the two gametes come together.
