Answer:
The potential mother would be wasting her body's energy and resources constantly producing milk without using it to feed her baby, requiring for her to attain more energy, where she could have just waited until she actually gets pregnant and then start producing milk for her baby once it is close to being or already born.
The type of muscle tissue that does not contain gap junction is SKELETAL MUSCLES.
Gap junction function by allowing the free diffusion of ions and small molecules between two cells. The number of gap junction between any two cells will vary and will depend on the type of cell they are.
b. commensalism
d. coyote is at the top of that chain so it gets the least energy
c. mistletoe is a parasite. the other options aren't symbiotic relationships
Answer: 1. S = 0.77
2. R = 0.14
Explanation:
1. <u><em>Selection</em></u> <u><em>differential</em></u> is the difference between the population mean and the average of the selected parents. Its symbol is S.
S = mean of selected parents - population mean
S = 6.48 - 5.71
S = 0.77
2. <em><u>Response</u></em> <em><u>to</u></em> <em><u>Selection</u></em> is how much gain you make when crossing over selected parents. Its symbol is R.
R = mean of offspring of selected parents - population mean
R = 5.85 - 5.71
R = 0.14
3. <em><u>Heritability</u></em> is, basically, a statistical variable that shows how much the variation in a trait is due to genetic factors. Its symbol is h².
To calculate it, use Breeder's Equation:
R = h²S


h² = 0.18
4. You would expect the production to be strongly influenced by environment, because heritability lies between 0 and 1. Low heritability means there is low level of resemblance between offspring and parents. As this program heritability is low, the resemblance is small, which means the characteristics are influenced mostly by the enviroment.
