In the given question only statement III is false.  

The adenoids refer to the glands situated at the posterior of the nose, where the air pathways combine with the passageways in the back of the mouth. The majority of the infectious agents that one breathes in are filtered via the adenoids and are eliminated. The tonsils are situated in the upper throat. They are considered to possess a function in defending against the infections initially in life.

!!Help!! In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f
tatiyna

Answer:

% GENOTYPE

FF = 0%

Ff = 50%

ff = 50%

% PHENOTYPE

Black fur = 50%

Grey fur = 60%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in dogs. The allele for grey fur (F) is dominant over the allele for black fur (f). This means that a heterozygous dog (Ff) will have a grey fur.

In this question, a heterozygous female (Ff) is said to cross with a recessive male (ff) i.e. Ff × ff. The following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Ff - F and f

ff - f and f

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotypic proportion of offsprings will be produced:

Ff - 1/2 = 50%

ff - 1/2 = 50%

Ff is phenotypically GREY while ff is phenotypically BLACK. This means that 50% of the offsprings will be black and 50% will be grey.

Nuclear power has come under higher scrutiny in recent years. Which statement would make the strongest for the use of nuclear po
Tamiku [17]

The Answer is A) Nuclear power generates large amounts of power limited to projection of greenhouse gases.

I believe this is the answer. As per the reports in 1998, it has been calculated the emission of the greenhouse gas has reduced for nearly half due to the popularity in the use of nuclear power. Nuclear energy by far has the lowest impact on the environment since it does not releases any gases like carbon dioxide, methane which are largely responsible for greenhouse effect. There is no adverse effect on water, land or any habitats due to the use of it. Though some greenhouse gases are released while transporting fuel or extracting energy from uranium.

Have a great day. Keep asking questions!
