The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think colonists gave the nickname of 13 colonies because they considered themselves different colonies with special characteristics, customs, cultures, and forms of government. They were in the same North American territory but lived under different rules.

That is why we considered them as different groups in terms of culture (the types of people), landscape (the land and location), and reasons for settlement. Those cultural differences and belief systems created their own identities. Some English colonists arrived in the North American territory after being persecuted by the Church of England. Others arrived in America to get rich, as was the case of the Jamestown, Virginia colony. Some settled in poor soil lands and had to developed fishing and navigating skills such as the Massachusetts colonies. some others settled in fertile soil lands as was the case of the "bread and basket colonies."

The colonies were not as united as they should be, However, as being part of the English monarchy, they suffered from the same issues and problems such as the heavy taxation imposed by the English government. The colonies had to pay high taxes and they did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. That is why they decided to join forces in the Continental Congress and fight against the English troops in the Revolutionary War to get their independence.

In terrapins, sharp beaks are an autosomal dominant condition with a penetrance of 87%. If two heterozygous sharp-beaked terrapi
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

65

Explanation:

An autosomal dominant condition is one where one copy of the allele is sufficient to cause the condition. Penetrance refers to the degree to which that mutation causes the phenotype

Lets say the allele for sharp beak is S and for normal beak is s. If 2 heterozygous sharp-beaked terrapins mate, the cross is the following:

Ss x Ss

<u>          S       s  </u>

   S   SS     Ss

   s    Ss     ss

The possible genotypes are SS, Ss and ss.  50% of their offspring will be heterozygous, and 25% homozygous each. Therefore, if the mutation was fully penetrant, it would be 75 out of 100 offspring would be affected.

However, the mutation is only 87% penetrant, which means only 87% of those 75 offspring would have the condition.

87% of 75 = 65.25

Therefore, we would expect 65 of their offspring to have sharp beaks

Which decision is indicative of how the Supreme Court interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment and state discretion in civil rights
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Plessy v. Ferguson

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark ruling of the United States Supreme Court  in 1896 that provided legal justification for segregation and upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws on buses, public facilities etc.

This case came as a result of an incident in which an African American train passeger Homer Plessy refused to sit in the black only section of the train. Plessy argue that segregation law violate the Equal Proctection Clause of th Fourteenth Amendment which forbids states from denying any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. However Ferguson ruled that separate but equal facilities were constitutional.

Ferguson stand came to be known as separate but equal doctrine

Supreme Court Of The United States. U.S. Reports: Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 . 1895.
