Clark's eyes are blue in color. However, both his parents have eyes that are brown in color. According to the dominant-recessive

Answer:

Both parents are heterozygous for the trait. They must be carriers of the recessive gene that codes for blue eyes.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the dominant gene codes for brown eyes while the recessive gene codes for blue eyes. We can suggest that both parents are carriers of the recessive gene. They both express brown eyes because they also have a dominant gene that codes for brown. Clark inherited one recessive allele from each parent, so he expresses blue eyes. The couple has a 75% probability of getting a brown-eyed child, while the probability of getting a blue-eyed child is 25%.

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.

Your dog has puppies. A pair of homologous chromosomes inside a puppy's cell
Aneli [31]

Answer:

E. will have the same genes at the same locations

Explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are the pairs of chromosomes. The members of a homologous pair are genetically and morphologically similar to each other. One chromosome of a homologous pair is inherited from the father while the other one comes from the mother.  

Genes have two or more alleles. The alleles of a gene occupy the corresponding position on the homologous chromosomes. These specific positions of alleles of a gene are called loci. Therefore, a particular locus is occupied by alleles of the same gene on two homologous chromosomes.

Answer:

A. A cell

Explanation:

Cells are the building blocks of life.

They are the biological units of organisms and are the basic structural and functional units of life.

Cells are the smallest units of life.
