Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two
andrew11 [14]
The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

What will happen to a population of predators if there is a sudden increased in food for the prey
Umnica [9.8K]
At first, the population of predators would spike and increase quickly, but then over time, gradually decrease.

(This is because at first there's more food, so the predators population increases. But overtime it begins to level out and the predators' population catches up with the prey, and in result, doesn't continue increasing.)

Explain why there is a difference in the amount of oxygen taken in at rest and during the vigorous activity. ​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: During vigorous exercise your breathing rate increases in order to intake more oxygen

Explanation:  during vigorous exercise / activity the body needs more oxygen in order to produce energy so your breathing rate increases in order to reach the demand of more intake of oxygen , and your muscles work harder due to an increase in oxygen demand and how much oxygen the muscles take from the blood during vigorous exercises , BUT during rest we have normal rate of oxygen intake because your body is at rest at that moment .
