How does competition relate to carrying capacity?
trasher [3.6K]

Parents with the dominant phenotype cannot have offspring with the recessive phenotype.
disa [49]

Answer:

False, they can have recessive phenotype

Explanation:

A phenotype is a viable characteristic an individual presents as a consequence of the interaction between its environment and its genotype.

This doesn’t necessarily means that the individual’s aleles are both dominant (homozygotes), they could have one dominant and one recessive gen (heterozygotes), meaning that, if the another parent is homozygote with both recessive aleles the offspring could heritage homozygote recessive aleles that will result in a recessive phenotype.

You can observe in the image I added a punnet square that exemplifies the scenario. You can see that the offspring has 1/2 probability to have recessive phenotype.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

What is required for the production of anterior pituitary gland hormones?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The correct option is c) hormonal stimuli

Explanation:

The pituitary gland, located in the anterior brain, under the hypothalamus, is formed by two lobes of very different origin. The anterior lobe or adenohypophysis, evolves as an evagination in the upper part of the mouth, from which it separates and grows towards the brain; the posterior lobe or neurohypophysis, is formed from the hypothalamus and joins the anterior lobe. The hypothalamus decides that hormones should release the pituitary by sending hormonal (hormonal stimuli) or electrical messages.

The secretion of hormones from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland is regulated by hypothalamic stimulation factors, transported through a local blood network, the pituitary portal system. In response to hormonal stimuli of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary gland secretes growth hormones, the thyroid stimulating hormone (which affect the secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex and thyroid gland respectively), the corticotropic hormone stimulates the secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex: cortisol, which influences blood glucose levels, and aldosterone, which increases sodium retention in the kidneys, among others.

Why is your respiratory system necessary for your body to live
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The respiratory system is necessary for an organism's body to live because it introduces oxygen-rich air, which is needed to perform vital functions, while at the same time promoting the elimination of carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Oxygen (O₂) is necessary for life because it participates in the process of cellular respiration, a mechanism that allows the oxidation of glucose to form energy in the form of ATP.

The respiratory system is made up of a set of organs that carry air into the body and facilitate gas exchange, i.e. the entry of O₂ into the blood and the elimination of potentially harmful carbon dioxide (CO₂).

This exchange of gases occurs in structures called pulmonary alveoli, whose surface is located in relation to the pulmonary capillary vessels.

  • The entry of air into the lungs brings O₂ to the alveoli, which will diffuse into the pulmonary capillary for the process of hematosis or oxygenation of the blood.
  • CO₂, a product of metabolism, leaves the capillary to the alveoli, to join the air that will be expelled during expiration.

Both O₂ and CO₂ require a transport molecule in the blood, red blood cell hemoglobin, which binds the gases and allows them to be transported to and from the tissues.
