Answer:
D
Explanation:
Alternative energy is best defined as the use of energy sources other than traditional fossil fuels, which are considered environmentally harmful and are in short supply. Fossil fuels consist of natural gas, coal, and oil. Currently, fossil fuels are the most used energy source to heat our homes and power our cars.
Answer:
B) 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4
Explanation:
It happens when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait. The cross related to this result is shown as under:
Father Mother
Bb x Bb
/ \ / \
Gametes: B b B b
| | | |
Probability: 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2
The probability of formation of 'b' gamete from father is 1/2 because there are only two gametes 'B' and 'b' and out of these two one will be assorted as 'B' and another one as 'b' and from mother also the probability of formation of 'b' gamete is 1/2.
Now the assortment of gametes with each other is an independent event i.e. any gamete from father can fuse with any gamete of mother so the overall probability of formation of 'bb' genotype will be 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback loops within the organism. In contrast, positive feedback loops push the organism further out of homeostasis, but may be necessary for life to occur. Homeostasis is controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems in mammals.
