Answer:

1/4 or 25%.

Explanation:

It is an example of<u> incomplete dominance </u>which is a form of Non-Mendelian inheritance pattern. In this kind of inheritance, the dominant allele is unable to mask the expression of recessive allele completely so the heterozygous off-springs rather than acquiring dominant phenotype acquire a phenotype which is a blend or we can say intermediate between dominant and recessive phenotype.

Let us suppose homozygous brown-eyed sheep has genotype 'BB' and homozygous green-eyed sheep has genotype 'bb'. Their cross will produce all progeny with 'Bb' genotype which have an intermediate eye color which is blue.

The cross between two blue eyed sheep is depicted as under:

                                    Bb x  Bb

                                 /     \      /    \

Progeny:                BB   Bb  Bb   bb

From the results of cross above, we can easily infer that 1 out of the 4 probable progeny 1 will have brown eyes. So the probability is 1/4 or 25%.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: On a cool October morning you dressed warmly for a 10K race sponsored by a local charity, and about half way through the race you realize that you have stopped sweating in all the warm running clothes you put on and are beginning to feel faint and slightly disoriented. The most likely reason of his symptoms are that <em><u>you are suffering a dehydration followed by possible hypothermia.</u></em>

Explanation:

If you <u>run dehydrated</u>, your <em>heart system</em> will be struggling in poor conditions, so it will be overexposed and your heart rate will rise considerably. On the other hand, <em>the body will not be as efficient in regulating body temperature.</em>

Your <u>muscles and your brain </u>as well as the entire <u>nervous system </u>will not respond the same and will be demanded in conditions not suitable for your effort, therefore, the response time will fall, you may suffer cramps, headache, dizziness and even muscle spasms . If the effort is more than two hours long, you probably need more than water and you should try <u>sports drinks </u>also.

When running at <em>low temperatures</em>, a relevant factor is <em>clothing.</em> If we are not <u>properly dressed to run</u> in cold and windy conditions, we will naturally be more exposed to suffer from <em>hypothermia.</em> The manifestations of hypothermia are varied and include pain and tingling in the hands and feet, tremors or chills, decreased physical capacity and, in more extreme cases, alterations of consciousness.

A person who is suffering from hypothermia should wrap in dry clothes and get out of exposure to cold or wind , hydrating with warm liquids can also be useful.

Anon25 [30]

In its second messenger role, cAMP activates enzymes called kinases, whose job is to regulate other enzymes by adding phosphate groups to them.

<h3>What is a kinase?</h3>

A kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of phosphate group and thus regulates cell signaling.

Moreover, phosphatases are enzyme that catalyze the removal of a phosphate group in a protein.

In conclusion, in its second messenger role, cAMP activates enzymes called kinases, whose job is to regulate other enzymes by adding phosphate groups to them.

Bioaccumulation of this chemical lead to bird eggs with weak shells and nonviable offspring:
Olin [163]
Bio accumulation of DDT lead to bird eggs with weak shells and non viable offspring. The lethal effects of DDT on birds was first noted in 1950; scientists discovered that earthworm was accumulating the DDT pesticide and that the robins that were preying on the earthworms were been poisoned. Further research revealed that the chemical cause thinning of the egg shell and production of non viable offspring. The chemical has since been banned in USA.
