Researchers placed males and females of two fish species together in aquarium tanks. One tank had natural light and the other ha

d a monochromatic orange light. Under normal light, the males of the two species appear quite different. However, under the monochromatic light little difference between the males of the two species can be observed. The researchers recorded the mate choices of the females in each tank. Under normal light the females strongly preferred males of their own species. In monochromatic light, females chose mates indiscriminately. The hybrids that resulted of interspecies reproduction were both viable and fertile. Based on the data, which description of genetic and phenotypic variation in the fish populations is most likely true?

Answer: The phenotypic variation was more in play during the tests because of the presence of environmental factor (monochromatic light). The genotypic variation was a result which is evident in the viable and fertile hybrids

Explanation: Phenotypes are traits of living things which are visible to us. Examples of such traits are behaviours, colour, shape, size, e.t.c. Genotypes is the genetic blueprint of a living thing. It is the genetic code that forms the physical traits in an organism (phenotype). For example, the code that tells a lady to have red hair is the genotype while the resulting red hair in the lady is the phenotype.

Phenotypic variations simply put are different physical variables in phenotypes that exists in a given population. For example, we have people with different body weights, heights, eyecolour, hair and shape of head. Genotypic variation is the difference in genotypes between different species or individuals of the same species.

There are two known causes of phenotypic variations and they are genes or environmental factor. In the given data, the monochromatic (made of one colour) light induced phenotypic variations in the male species and led to indiscriminate mating which resulted in viable and fertile hybrids (genotypic variation).

When trying to evaluate whether a dog is showing strong aggression as opposed to strong fear, one can readily see the difference
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The correct option is C.
When a dog is afraid, its ears are usually pinned back to the head. A dog showing aggression will pulled its ear up and forward.
Other signs that a dog shows when it is afraid include: lowering of the head, wrinkling of the nose, curled lips that show many teeth, tucked tail, panting, etc.
Signs show by an aggressive dog include: head held high, curled lips only show the front teeth, tail is upright and stiff, no panting, etc.

In normal humans, sex cells contain the _________ number of chromosomes.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: Haploid number

In normal humans, sex cells contain the diploid number of chromosomes

Explanation;

Human somatic cells or body cells are diploid such that they contain two sets of 23 chromosomes which gives a total of 23 chromosomes. Examples of somatic cells in the body that are diploid include, epithelial cells, somatic cells, liver cells, blood cells, nerve cells, etc.

However, mature sex cells are haploid, which means they have one set of 23 chromosomes which means they have 23 chromosomes. Sex cells are the results of meiosis type of cell division in which a diploid cell divides to form four daughter cells that are haploid.

What is the pair of disaccharides
Aneli [31]
A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose[1]) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) are joined. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose,[2] and maltose.         


Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reactions of two simple sugar molecules.
