Answer:

The lionfish are local to the Indo-Pacific region, however, they are now getting established along the waters of North and South America. As lionfish are not locals to Atlantic waters, they exhibit very fewer predators. They are carnivores, which consume small fishes and crustaceans, comprising the essential commercial fish species like grouper and snapper.  

These invasive species will continue to flourish, and it is not easy to eradicate them with the application of traditional methods. Apart from this, lionfish possess venomous spines, which can be very painful. These fish species possess threat to commercial species of fish and reefs.

What was the Court’s decision in United States v. Nixon (1974) and how did the decision uphold the idea that even the President
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The Supreme Court decided that the President was required to turn over tape recordings and other materials that had been subpoenaed by special prosecutor Leon Jaworski.

In trying to withhold some materials related to the Watergate investigation, Nixon's lawyer had argued that the President of the United States "is not subject to the processes of any court in the land except the court of impeachment." The Supreme Court disagreed, in unanimous fashion. They held that the President could not use executive privilege as an excuse for hiding wrongdoing or avoiding prosecution. In an interview some years after his resignation, Nixon still held to his view, claiming that when the President does something, "that means that it is not illegal." He felt that being in the position of President put him above the law. But the Supreme Court had firmly disagreed. They rejected the idea of "absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." Executive privilege can only protect matters of military or diplomatic confidentiality

Red rose color is produced by either of two genes, R/r and I/i. The dominant alleles of both these genes produce red pigment, an
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

To find out the phenotypic ratio, we need to do a Punnet Square.

We know that R and I are the dominant alleles that produce red flowers, and r and i are the recessive traits.

<u>  ║R ║ r</u>

<u>I ║RI║Ir</u>

<u>i ║Ri║ir</u>

The genotype ratio would be 3 because the dominant traits are present three times (RI, Ir, and Ri) and 1 for the recessive trait since it only appears once in the Punnet Square (ir). In conclusion, the phenotypic ratio form the roses are 3:1
