Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
1. <u>Only one phenotype</u> is present in the F1 generation offspring. Since tallness was dominant over shortness, all the offspring in the F1 generation appeared tall.
2. <u>Two phenotypes </u>are present in the F2 generation - 9 tall and 3 short. The short trait reappeared at the F2 generation.
3. The genotype of the F1 offspring would be heterozygous. Assuming the purebred tall is AA and the purebred short is aa:
AA x aa
Aa Aa Aa Aa
All the F1 offspring will appear tall and their genotypes would be heterozygous.
4. Assuming that the allele for height is denoted with A (a), <u>the genotype of the purebred tall plant would be AA. </u>
5. In a similia vein, <u>the genotype of the purebred short plant would be aa. </u>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.
FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
Answer:
4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
Let's start with the oxygen.
Reactants - 2
Products - 3
What number do 2 and 3 have in common? 6.
Put a 3 in the reactants and a 2 in the products to balance the oxygen.
Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃
Now let's look at the iron.
Reactants - 1
Products - 4
Put a 4 in the reactants to balance the iron.
4 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃
The equation is balanced. Hope that helps.
