Hello, sorry this is a little late.
I believe the correct answer to your question, "an animals long period of inactivity during winter is called what" would be Hibernation.
Hibernation is when some animals (examples would be bears, and wild rabbits) sleep throughout the entire season of winter, when the temperature is too cold for them. They spend time before hibernation usually stocking up food, and creating a warm place for them to stay.
Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
Life is found almost everywhere on Earth, but it is not distributed evenly around the planet. Different species are found in different areas; some species have overlapping ranges, others do not. Each species has a set of environmental conditions within which it can best survive and reproduce. Not surprisingly, those conditions are the ones for which it is best adapted. Many different physical, abiotic (non- living) factors influence where species live, including temperature, humidity, soil chemistry, pH, salinity and oxygen levels.
Answer:
the correct answer is A
Explanation:
definition of a decomposer is an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.
so A is the answer
If brainiest is earned its greatly Appreciated
Mendel was trying to determine how traits were passed down generation to generation.
Answer:
genes for flower color and edge shape are linked. They do not assort independently.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- test cross between a purple-flowered pea plant having serrated leaves and a white-flowered pea plant having smooth edges.
- serrated leaves → dominant trait
- smooth edges → recessive trait
- purple color → dominant trait
- white color → recessive trait
- F1: 4 purple-serrated:1 purple-smooth:1 white-serrated:4 white-smooth.
There are two genes involved in the cross. The expected ratios are 1:1:1:1 because we assume genes assort independently. However, we see a different phenotypic distribution. When phenotypic ratios differ from the expected ones, it means that genes are linked.
To know if two genes are linked in the same chromosome, we must observe the progeny distribution. If individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. But if instead of this distribution, we observe a different one, that is that phenotypes appear in different proportions, we can assume that genes are linked in the double heterozygote parent
