The correct answer is: B) stabilizing selection

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which the population mean (non-extreme trait value) is favored over extreme values. It favors the intermediate variants such as heterozygous phenotype (more than both homozygous). This is the most common type of selection, because most traits change little over time (not by favoring extreme traits).

The map shows an island arc in Alaska named the Aleutian Arc. What does the arc suggest about its surrounding geographic region?

nexus9112 [7]

We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct.

Explain why a person making an emergency call should never be placed on hold

Ad libitum [116K]

Its important not to put a person making an emergency call on hold because since it might be a patient who is a serious case and might lose consciousness. It is therefore always important to obtain the name, phone number, and location at the start of the call so that the patient can be found if they lose consciousness or is disconnected. Additionally its is important to make sure one stays connected with the patient until help arrives to ensure their safety.

Explain how botulinum toxin alters the normal sequence of events at the neuromuscular junction to result in paralysis. Be sure t

alisha [4.7K]

At neuromuscular junctions, a neurotransmitter called as acetylcholine if found. Botulinum toxin inhibits the transmission of acetylcholine at the synaptic junctions. Botulin toxin acts at presynaptic junctions and blocks the release of acetylcholine, leading to paralysis.

narvez 5. Everyone in Dobby's family has a long nose and they brag that they are from a purebred line. Viola has a stubby nose.

mote1985 [20]

Assuming a single diallelic gene coding for the trait and expressing complete dominance, the phenotypes, genotypes, and probabilities of getting each of them vary according to the parentals' genotypes. See the options below.

---------------------------------

Since I do not have the genotypes from #2, I will provide different potential scenarios for this question.

I advise you to check on them and see which one matches the genotype from #2.

Let us assume a single diallelic gene is coding for the trait and expresses complete dominance.

<h3 /><h3>SCENARIO 1 ⇒ long nose is the dominant trait</h3>

Let us say that

L is the dominant allele and codes for long nose

l is the recessive allele and codes for stubby nose

Since long nose is dominant over stubby nose

LL and Ll ⇒ long nose

ll ⇒ stubby nose

If Dobby comes from a purebred family and has long nose, his genotype must be LL.

And if Viola has stubbi nose, her genotype must be ll.

Cross 1

Parentals) LL x ll

Gametes) L L l l

Punnett square) L L

l Ll Ll

F1) Genotype ⇒ 100% heter0zyg0us Ll

Phenotype ⇒ 100% long-nosed

There is 100% chances for a child to have a long nose

There is 0% chances for a child to have a stubby nose

These children are not purebred

**********

<h3>SCENARIO 2 ⇒ Stubby nose is the dominant trait</h3>

Let us say that

S is the dominant allele and codes for stubby nose

s is the recessive allele and codes for long nose

Since stubby nose is dominant over long nose

SS and Ss ⇒ stubby nose

ss ⇒ long nose

If Dobby comes from a purebred family and has long nose, his genotype must be ss.

And if Viola has stubbi nose, her genotype must be either SS or Ss.

There are two possible crosses.

Cross 1 : Violet is h0m0zyg0us dominant SS

Parentals) SS x ss

Gametes) S S s s

Punnett square) S S

s Ss Ss

F1) Genotype ⇒ 100% heter0zyg0us Ss

Phenotype ⇒ 100% stubby-nosed

There is 100% chances for a child to have a stubby nose

There is 0% chances for a child to have a long nose

These children are not purebred

Cross 2: Violet is heter0zyg0us, Ss

Parentals) Ss x ss

Gametes) S s s s

Punnett square) S s

s Ss ss

F1) Genotype ⇒ 50% heter0zyg0us Ss and 50% h0m0zyg0us recessive ss

Phenotype ⇒ 50% stubby-nosed and 50% long-nosed

There is 50% chances for a child to have a stubby nose

There is 50% chances for a child to have a long nose

These children are not purebred
