A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.

2. In a certain fish, blue scales (BB) and red scales (bb) are codominant. When a fish has the
Evgen [1.6K]

Upon crossing BB with bb, we will get a hybrid of Bb.

  • Codominance is a phenomena in genetics where two alleles (different forms of the same gene) express themselves equally in an organism. As a result, characteristics linked to each allele are shown at the same time.
  • The MN blood group system in humans is an illustration of codominance. M and N alleles control the MN blood type. Red blood cells from people who are homozygous for the M allele carry a surface molecule known as the M antigen. On their red blood cells, those who are homozygous for the N allele contain the N antigen. A heterozygote is a person who carries both antigens.
  • (a) Genotype of blue scales fish will be BB.
  • (b) Genotype of blue scales fish will be bb.
  • (c) Genotype of blue scales fish will be Bb.

So, in this case B and b alleles will express equally.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Generalization

Explanation:

In classical conditioning, generalization refers to the ability of an organism to respond to a stimulus the same way it responds to a stimulus that is similar. For example, generalization is seen in Pavlov’s experiment with dogs, after the pairing of the meat powder with the tone of a bell. The dog which naturally salivates as an unconditioned response to the meat powder (unconditioned stimulus), also later produce similar response (conditioned response) when presented only with the sound of a bell (conditioned response). This is generalization in classical conditioning, as the dog responds in a similar way to meat powder and also to the tone of a bell.
