Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Let us assume that Long needles trait is dominant over short needles trait. Also “L” represents the long needle while “l” represents the short needles.  

Therefore “Ll” would represent a  heterozygous dominant genotype.  

Now cross is carried out between  

Ll * ll

Ll, Ll, ll, ll

Out of four offspring two are heterozygous long needled while two are homozygous short needles.  

Hence, option B is correct

<span>The correct answer is B. As one parent cactus is dominant heterozygous, and another is homozygous recessive, half of the progeny will bear long needles (as they carry dominant allele L), and hald will bear short needles (As they carry both recessive alleles).</span>

What are some viable ways of lessening the effect that increased carbon has on the following?
Art [367]
<span>The ways for lessening the effect of increased carbon include reducing the components of the carbon footprint (the amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon compounds emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels).</span> Air travel is one of the main components of the carbon footprint. <span>The solution for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is to burn fewer fossil fuels, but it is very difficult because the burning of fossil fuels is necessary for heating, electricity generation and transport.</span>

Power stations that burn fossil fuels to produce electricity are one of the main contributors of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the way to reduce it is to use less electricity which can be done by turning down the heating at home, insulating home, <span>using low-energy lamps etc.</span>

What will be the long-term consequences if the hunts of baby deer continue? If they stop?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

If people continue to kill baby deer then the population will start to decrease and if they stop killing them then the deer population will increase. If the deer population increase than that won't be a good thing for the environment because they will then be everywhere. Plus where there is prey there is predator so the predators of the deer will also increase in population.
