Lino recently saw a ""high-potency"" mineral supplement being advertised on a late-night infomercial. He compared the amount of

minerals in the supplement with the percent Daily Values recommended for minerals and determined that the supplement contained megadoses of minerals. Why can taking megadoses of individual mineral supplements be potentially harmful?

Explanation:

High-potency nutrients are the nutrients that are present in the high amount in the combination with other minerals. The high potency nutrients are used by the athletes and bodybuilders as a supplement for the fast growth of muscles.

The high potency nutrients are advisable in a particular amount as the concentration above prescribed value interferes with the mineral absorption of other minerals. The other minerals are if not absorbed properly will cause serious effects in the body.  

Thus, mega doses of the supplements are not advisable.

Explain what happens to species with lower resilience as compared to species with higher levels
Reika [66]

Answer

Species with lower resilience have less chance to survive.

Explanation

The resilience rate means to recover after destruction. The species having a higher rate of resilience recover fast when undergoing any damage hence have higher chance to survive. The species with lower resilience rate can collapse as a result of any damage to species by any internal factor such as disease or external factors such as food or climate change.

Which of the following soil conservation techniques prevents erosion?
nydimaria [60]

All answer choices are correct in soil conservation techniques prevents erosion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Decreasing tillage yields crops to settle in the soil preferably than being broken at the end of a season. The gain of no-till farming is consecutive to the soil structure, which transmits more deposits on the exterior to stand up against severe water and wind situations.
  • With contour ploughing, preferably of seeding crops in straight lines, crops are planted based on the form lines of the area to form stores that save rainwater and lessen top-level soil erosion.
  • Terracing is the habit of producing almost level areas in a hillside area.  Terraces are shielded from erosion by other soil restrictions.

Stels [109]

According to the principle of segregation, gene pairs for a trait are split during the formation of gametes.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • This segregation was first observed by Gregor Mendel. He used pea plants for studying genetics.
  • He crossed the pea plants and he discovered that traits in the offspring are not like the parental plants.
  • He understands that alleles encoding the traits of each parental plant are separated during the formation of reproductive cells.
  • By this only Mendel observed the principle of segregation. During meiosis only segregation of gene takes place and that produces reproductive cells called gametes.

A geneticist discovers an obese mouse in his ca laboratory colony. he breeds this obese mouse with a normal mouse. all the f1 mi
inna [77]

The first geneticist has identified an obese allele that he or she believes to be recessive. We will define his or her allele as o1 and the normal allele as O1. The obese allele appears to be recessive based on the series of crosses he or she performed.

Cross 1 with possible genotype:  

 Obese (o1o1) × Normal (O1O1)  F1 All normal (O1o1)

Cross 2 with possible genotypes:

 F1 normal (Oo1) × F1 normal (O1o1)  F2 8 normal (O1O1 and O1o1)

       2 obese (o1o1)  

Cross 3 with possible genotypes:

 Obese (o1o1) × Obese (o1o1)  All Obese (o1o1)

 A second geneticist also finds an obese mouse in her colony and performs the same types of crosses, which indicate to her that the obese allele is recessive. We will define her obese allele as o2 and the normal allele as O2.

 The cross of obese mice between the two different laboratories produced only normal mice. These different alleles are both recessive. However, they are located at different gene loci. Essentially, the obese mice from the different labs have separate obesity genes that are independent of one another.

 The likely genotypes of the obese mice are as follows:

Obese mouse 1 (o1o1O2O2) × Obese mouse 2 (O1O1o2o2)  

 F1 All normal (O1o1O2o2)
