Hurricanes and other strong storms can have a profound impact on communities. Power outages, flooding and interruption of communication systems can interrupt everyday life. But storms and natural disasters can wreak havoc on animals, ecosystems and coastal habitats.

Although parts of the world have been subjected to hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes and other storms for millenia, experts at the United States Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey say that today's storms may be more detrimental to animal life and ecosystems than ever before. That's because periodic disturbances on plants and animals that result from storms are compounded by consistent environmental changes brought on by human development and industry. Animals that could once bounce back from a weather event may find it harder to rebound because their habitats have already been weakened by human interference.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer and Explanation:

According to this theory, the young of a species may inherit certain physical characteristics which their parents acquired in the course of their daily lives. According to Lamarck, modern giraffes evolved from short-necked ancestors. The long necks develop as a result of stretching to reach the leaves of tall trees. The offspring of these giraffes inherited the long necks.

Lamarck's assumption of acquisition of characteristics by individuals in the course of their lifetimes is true. However, the passing of these traits to their offspring is not true. Acquired characteristics do not cause any alteration whatsoever in the hereditary information contained in the chromosomes. This theory is therefore not valid.

One polled (hornless) bull is bred to 3 cows. With Cow A, which is horned, a polled calf is produced. With Cow B, also horned, a
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Bull = Pp

Cow A = pp

Cow B = pp

Cow C = Pp

Explanation:

In cows polled (P) is dominant over horned (p) trait.

The bull is polled so it can be PP or Pp. Cow B is horned so it must be pp. Resultant offspring from bull X Cow B is also a horned calf (pp). This calf must have received one p from the bull. So the bull's genotype is Pp.

Cow A is also a horned cow so it must be pp. When bull X Cow A, a polled calf is produced. Since the bull's genotype is Pp and Cow A's genotype is pp, this polled calf will be Pp like the bull.

Cow C is polled like the bull so it can be PP or Pp. However on crossing with the bull (Pp) a horned calf is produced (pp). This calf got one p allele from the bull and p allele from the Cow C. So Cow C's genotype must be Pp.

Hence,

Bull = Pp

Cow A = pp

Cow B = pp

Cow C = Pp
