Answer:

Body of an organisms have a range of the normal temperature that is maintained by the body by homeostasis. When the range of the body temperature rise above that range it it known as fever. The normal temperature of human body is normally 36-37 degree centigrade. Mild fever is not need any assistance to bring it back to normal range it is doe by the body to fight against infection or change takes place. Fever can be measured in mouth, rectum, and underarms.

It is considered as nonspecific response mechanism as it is take place due to different type of reasons and its affect or mechanisms is same for all, not specific as the cell mediated or antibody mediated responses of specific defense mechanism.

If you flip a penny 99 times and each time it came up heads then the chance of the penny coming up heads is ___
Helga [31]
The chances of heads as a result when flipping a penny will always be 50%. Although heads came up 99 times in a row, the events that occurred before will not affect the probability of the current event in terms of a coin flip.

There are 1 out of 2 chances of it occurring or 1/2. Divide that and multiply it by 100% to get the probability in percent. So the answer will be 50%.

The answer is B.

Each of two parents has the genotype blue/brown​, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye color​, and each pare
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

See the answer below.

Explanation:

<em>Let the allele for eye color be represented by A. Blue is dominant over brown eye color, hence, blue allele would be A while brown eye allele would be a.</em>

Two parents have the genotype blue/brown which is equivalent to Aa.

                   Aa    x    Aa

    AA               2Aa                aa

 blue eyes     blue eyes         brown eyes

a. Different possible outcomes: AA blue eyes, Aa blue eyes, and aa brown eyes.

b. Probability of a child from the cross having brown/brown (aa) genotype = 1/4 or 25%

c. Probability that the child would have blue eye color = 3/4 or 75%

In your own words, explain the processes responsible for the formation of a reverse fault.
zzz [600]
Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
if you stood on the fault plane the block on the right would be under your feet. this is thus the footwall. The tan sandstone has been pushed up and over itself. This offset of the hanging wall indicates that this is a reverse fault.

Why does each parent contribute only one allele to the offspring?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Because the gametes implemented in fertilisation are haploid in nature, in the case of humans, mature gametes contain 23 chromosomes instead of 46 which will then combine with another parents' 23 chromosomes during fertilisation, i.e: 23 (dad) + 23 (mom) = 46 (zygote)

Explanation:

A regular somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, 2n, 2 alleles but the gametes have 23 chromomes, n, 1 allele. The usual significance of this is so that there is diversity in the offspring and the offspring can gain characteristics (bad or good) from both parents.
