A. land plants, tiny water plants
a. slug, frog, newt
b. plants, slug-insect-water fleas, frog-fish-newt, perch-fox, heron
c. water fleas, diving beetles
d. heron, perch
e. one thing that could happen if all frogs suddenly died is that there would be an overpopulation of slugs, insects, and beetles. another thing that could happen would be that foxes would only rely on getting slugs for food so the slugs would soon go extinct and the plants would possibly over populate.
hope this helps!!
Answer:
(i) An allele is a variant of a gene, can either be short or tall.
Dominant = the tall allele that "trumps" the short allele. if a dominant and recessive allele is present (heterozygous) then the dominant phenotype will be shown.
(ii) David's eyes are Brown
(iii) Sarah's eyes are blue
(iv) David - B, b
Sarah - b, b
(v) Possible genotypes include Bb and bb. These give the phenotypes of brown eyes or blue eyes.
(vi) The chance for blue eyes is 50% (or 1:1 ratio)
Answer:
The correct answer is: B. If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children.
Explanation:
- The inheritance of genes from the parents to the offspring is mediated by the germinal cells or sex cells or gametes of the parents.
- The genetic material present in the somatic cells of the parents are not transmitted to the offspring.
- In the given case, the man who develops lung cancer generates some tobacco smoke induced mutations in some of the cells of his lungs.
- The cells of the lungs are type up of somatic cells. Hence, any mutations in the genome of these cells will never be transmitted to the offspring.
- Therefore, the children of the man will never become prone to develop lung cancer due to development of mutations in the lung cells of the man.
- However, if the man has inherited any mutation from his parents which can increase the risk of development of lung cancer, then these mutations will be present in his germinal cells and also in some of his gametes.
- Now, if a child is born due to the fusion of the the maternal gamete with one of these mutated paternal gametes, there is an increased chance of developing lung cancer in the child, irrespective of the fact whether he is a smoker or a non-smoker.
Answer:
C. release of neurotransmitters
Explanation:
The action potential is an explosion of electrical activity that is created by a depolarizing current. This means that some event (a stimulus) causes the resting potential to move toward 0 mV. When the depolarization reaches about -55 mV a neuron will fire an action potential.
Every one color match up to light of a certain wavelength produced by the atom when an electron marks a changeover among permissible orbitals. Each color signifies a jump of the electron with resultant emission of photons of certain energy conforming to the vertical colored stripes. The scientist can assess these energies by means of einstein equation for the energy of a photon which is E = h. v where v is the frequency of the emitted photon that can be assessed by means of the wavelength and h is a constant. Then it can recreate the jumps and accordingly figure out the orbitals and perhaps the map of the structure of the atom.
