True. Hormones are chemical substances that regulate many of the body's functions. Hormones are chemical substances, formed in a tissue or organ, that stimulate or inhibit the growth or function of other tissues or organs. They work in conjunction with the endocrine, nervous, and immune systems to regulate many body functions.

Which of the following activities can be shown to increase resistance among microbial populations?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Taking antibacterial drugs for viral infections

Explanation

This is called a misuse of antibacterials also popular known as antibiotics. This results in an increased chance of bacteria developing mutations against the antibacterial hence rendering the drugs ineffective in treatment. They also form the risk of causing dangerous mutations that turn harmless bacteria into harmful bacteria.

Dafna1 [17]

Since IDK which two you would choose, I'll just list all of them: fish have developed a light, streamlined body to get through water quickly to evade predators with and swim with ease, owls have big eyes so their pupils can get enough light to see in the dark since they're nocturnal, their light bodies and special (Fluffy???) flight feathers let it fly with virtually no sound, allowing it to sneak up on prey, tortoises have a large, hard shell for protection from predators and provides a mobile home on their back! Bats may be practically blind but that doesn't stop them when using echolocation to detect prey and chase it no matter what moves they make or obstacles in the way, snowshoe hares have big feet to sit on top of the snow in the cold winters where they live, their fur also changes colors as the snow melts and the plants start coming back in the more warmer seasons, poison dart frogs, sorry, IDK, cacti have developed spines all over them as self defense, (from what IDK) and they can last a long time without water (I think, don't quote me on that ^^') hope this helps

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true-breeding. If plants with blue

Zolol [24]

Answer:

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.

Explanation:

Available data:

flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve
colors may be true-breeding
the cross of blue-flowered plants with red-flowered plants, produce plants that have yellow flowers
F2 generation: 9/16 yellow, 3/16 blue, 3/16 red, and 1/16 mauve.

Knowing that the phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1, we can assume that there are two genes involved in the flower color expression. We can name these genes B and R with a dominant and a recessive allele each (B, b and R, r respectively).

According to the first cross, we might establish the following genotypes:

1st Cross: blue-flowered plant x red-flowered plant

Parentals) BBrr x bbRR

Gametes) Br, Br, Br, Br bR, bR, bR, bR

F1) 100% BbRr, yellow plants

Parentals) BbRr x BbRr

Gametes) BR, Br, bR, br

BR, Br, bR, br

Punnett square) BR Br bR br

BR BBRR BBRr BbRR BbRr

Br BBRr BBrr BbRr Bbrr

bR BbRR BbRr bbRR bbRr

br BbRr Bbrr bbRr bbrr

F2) 9/16 yellow ---> 1/16 BBRR + 2/16 BBRr + 4/16 BbRr + 2/16 BbRR

3/16 blue ------> 1/16 BBrr + 2/16 Bbrr

3/16 red---------> 1/16 bbRR + 2/16 bbRr

1/16 mauve ----> 1/16 bbrr

So,

Yellow-flowered plants: BBRR, BBRr, BbRR, BbRr
Red-flowered plants: bbRR, bbRr
Blue-flowered plants: BBrr, Bbrr
Mauve-flowered plants: bbrr

According to these genotypes, the second cross would be like following,

2nd Cross: true-breeding red-flowered plants with true-breeding mauve flowered plants.

Parentals) bbRR x bbrr

Phenotype) Red Mauve

Gametes) bR, bR, bR, bR br, br, br, br

Punnett square) bR bR bR bR

br bbRr bbRr bbRr bbRr

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.
