Answer:
An organism is able to produce sweat so that it cools off which helps it to cool down when exposed to high temperatures.
It's vessels are able to vasodilate and vasoconstrict to regulate temperature.
An organism stores fat as an insulator.
Eye pupils dilate and constrict to control the amount of light entering the eye.
If an organism touches a hot surface, nerve impulses are sent to the body to move and not get injured.
In a nutshell: an organism maintain a constant internal environment with homeostasis. And is able to respond to changes in the atmosphere by electrical impulses (nervous system) or the endocrine system by the release of chemicals (called hormones)
The galaxy is around the entire solar system
Answer:
The parent's genotypes are:
Ddpp - tall, white parent
ddPp - dwarf, purple parent.
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color in pea plants. The alleles for tallness (D) and purple color (P) are dominant over the alleles for dwarfness (d) and white color (p) respectively.
According to this question, a tall plant with white flowers is crossed with a dwarf plant with purple flowers to produce the following proportion of offsprings: 1/4 tall purple, 1/4 tall white, 1/4 dwarf purple, and 1/4 dwarf white.
Since some of the offsprings contain recessive alleles for both or either genes, the dominant traits of the parent is controlled by an heterozygous genotype. This means that the tall plant with white flowers has a genotype: Ddpp while the dwarf plant with purple flowers has the genotype: ddPp. In a cross between Ddpp × ddPp, 1/4 of each combination of alleles is produced in the offsprings (see punnet square in the attachment).
Answer:
1. Leads to mixing of genetic materials hence variation within species
2. Leads to offspring with hybrid viguor that tend to show high and adaptability to environmental conditions.
3. Variations due to sexual reproduction leads to improvement of species hence evolutionary changes that may bring about specialisation
Answer:
Paul has natural active immunity, while Nicholas has artificial active immunity.
Explanation:
Natural active immunity is an immunity that occurs when an individual is exposed to a disease causing organism, gets infected, and also become immune to the disease due to the primary immune response. From the question, Paul has natural active immunity because he had chicken pox before, and the virus that causes chicken pox has interacted with his immune response, hence, making him to develop natural immunity to the disease.
Artificial active immunity is an immunity that an individual acquires when small amount of immunity to a disease is deliberately exposed to his body. Artificial active immunity is usually produced in the form of vaccinations. From the question, Nicholas has artificial active immunity because chicken pox vaccines were intentionally introduced to his body.
