Answer:
<u><em>The correct options are:</em></u>
<u><em>All traits are inherited.</em></u>
<u><em>Offspring inherit one allele for a gene from each parent.</em></u>
<u><em>An offspring with two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous.</em></u>
Explanation:
- In the biological world, a trait can be described as a genetic characteristic which makes up an organism. Every organism has a particular set of traits.
- Traits are inherited from parents, however they can be influenced by the environment.
- The alleles of a gene make up the genotype and the influencing phenotype. An organism acquires one allele for the gene pair from each parent.
- When both the alleles of a gene pair are similar, the organism is said to be homozygous for the trait. If both the alleles of a gene pair are different, the organism is said to be heterozygous for the trait.
Answer:
Cells in a large multicellular organism communicate with each other by chemical signals. These signals are passed from one cell to another. To receive and respond to a chemical signal, a cell must have a <u><em>receptor</em></u> for that chemical.
Explanation:
To generate a physiological response, all cells in the body have special proteins called receptors. These receptors are involved in detecting a chemical signal and generating a response. The receptors are specific for different kind of chemical signals. For example, a dopamine receptor will bind a dopamine molecule whereas an insulin receptor will be able to bind an insulin molecule. Apart from chemical signals, some cells might also respond to mechanical signals.
Answer:
B. After clearcutting, plant uptake stopped and nitrogen accumulated in the soil.
Explanation: Clear cutting leaves the soil bare and allows for direct penetration of sunlight this increases the soil temperature which favors the activity of soil microrganism. This microrganism activity increase the production of ammonium and nitrate hence the increase in soil Nitrogen level. Clearcutting then allows for accumulation of Nitrogen produce due to removal of plant or forest tree that could use up the Nitrogen produced.
The evolution of a species of organisms over time.
The correct answer is C and D, which are plant cells.
