For this, you need to use Punnett squares.

You know the genotype of the parents, and for the cross, you need to separate into two alleles, both genes.

AABBCc divided like ABC and ABc.

Aabbcc divided like Abc and abc.

Now you can cross them, and all probabilities will be:

AABbCc, AaBbCc, AABbcc and AaBbcc

So, you could say 25% of the offspring will be AaBbCc, 25% AaBbcc, 25% AABbCc, and 25% AABbcc

Compare and contrast a virus to a cell. What would be some differences? What are some similarities?

34kurt

Answer:

Both contain genetic material, in the form of DNA and/or RNA. Both of them can replicate, that is, produce more organisms similar to themselves. ... They require a host cell to carry out life processes, such as replication and carrying out genetic instructions, etc. Bacteria are relatively bigger in size than viruses.

Which of these methods is NOT safe for thawing food?

stellarik [79]

The answer is b
1.Upper Epidermis – The upper surface of a leaf that protects the inner cells of the leaf. 2.Palisade Layer – Long, thin, tightly-packed cells where most photosynthesis takes place. 3. Spongy Layer – Loosely packed cells with many air spaces between them in order to allow carbon dioxide to pass among the cells and get to the chloroplasts. 4. Lower Epidermis – The bottom layer that protects the underside of the leaf and has many openings (stomata)

A recent study of the marine hawksbill turtle's stomach contents revealed that sponges constitute a major portion of their diet.

Answer:

These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.

Explanation:

Sponges skeleton is composed of calcium carbonate and siliceous micro-structures called spicules. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.

There are different kinds of spicules:

- Monoaxonic spicule: needle-shaped, straights or curves

- Tetraxonic spicules: they have four prolongations

- Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules

- Poliaxonic spicules

Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:

- Megaspicules: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton

- Microspicules: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions

Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.
