The answer is B. lobbying. Special interest groups and businesses can seek to influence the decisions of lawmakers through lobbying, in order to fulfill their interests.
Two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants are :
<u>muscular and integumentary</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
- The fuzzy millipede, Polyxenus fasciculatus, is found in Texas and is preyed upon by most species of ants.
- Most millipedes defend themselves with a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body, although the tiny bristle millipedes are covered with tufts of detachable bristles.
- Due to their lack of speed and their inability to bite or sting, millipedes' primary defence mechanism is to curl into a tight coil – protecting their delicate legs inside an armoured exoskeleton.
- Reproduction in most species is carried out by modified male legs called gonopods, which transfer packets of sperm to females.
- Millipedes overwinter, so they may hide in cracks or crevices throughout the whole winter and emerge in the spring.
- These insects live in dark, damp places and feed on decaying plant life, sometimes damaging crops. But they can serve a good purpose too.
- To protect itself against the ants, it ejects fibers from a tuft located at the tail end of its body. When an ant attacks, the millipede flexes its back end toward the ant and wipes the tufts against it.
This mammal is found in open and semi-open habitats, especially grasslands with scattered bushes and trees, in south, central-west, and southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, northern Argentina, Bolivia east and north of the Andes,[4] and far southeastern Peru (Pampas del Heath only).[5] It is very rare in Uruguay, possibly being displaced completely through loss of habitat.
Let H= No Hemophilia
h= Hemophilia
Now we will create the genotypes for the parents, it says that the mother is heterozygous which means she will carry the dominant and recessive allele, which would be Hh and it says the father is normal which would mean that he would be No Hemophilia dominant, so it would be HH
Cross the 2 created genotypes: Hh x HH
Now create your Punnett square using the 2 created genotypes above
H h
H HH Hh
H HH Hh
Looking at the Punnett square above, it appears that there’s a 2:2 ratio or a 50% chance of having Hemophilia and not having Hemophilia
So for a female child: 1/2 x 1/2= 1/4 of having a female with Hemophilia
The first one represents the female child having Hemophilia or not, that one can be obtained by simplifying the 2:2 ratio to a 1:1 ratio and the other one represents the chances of their child being a female. I assume that the steps above would be repeated again for the male child.
I hope that helps!
