Answer:

a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.

b. Ss (male) × ss (female)

c. 50% Ss, 50% ss

d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).

a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.

b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)

c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.

d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.

Help? You are studying an outcrop where the lower layer is limestone and the layer directly on top of the limestone is sandstone
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Due to mixing of particles present in the upper layer of limestone with sandstone during deposition.

Explanation:

The parent layer was limestone layer which is older than sandstone layer. This sandstone layer spreads on the limestone layer because of wind. The wind moves these sandstone from other region and their deposition occurs on the limestone layer. During deposition of sandstone, some particles of limestone which are present at the surface mixes with the sandstone so that's why in sandstone layer, small and weathered pieces of limestone are present.

Sketch and label a food-web that includes at least 6 different items. Make
astra-53 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Example of a food-web:

(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.

1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.

The next links are the consumers:

2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.

3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.

4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.

5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.

6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.
