Your answer is D. 32

If it has 5 pairs of chromosomes, it could produce 2^5 or 32 unique chromosomes. The number of different gametes is determined by counting the number of heterozygous chromosomes and raising 2 to this power. So, if all the homologous are exactly the same, there would only be 1 possible type of chromosome.

An organism with NO heterozygous chromosomes, like BB or AAbbCCDDeeFF can produce 2^0 or 1 type of gamete- B or AbCDeF, respectively. An organism with the genotype AaBBccDdee has 2 pairs of hetrerozygous chromosomes (the As and the Ds), so the number of different gametes is 2^2 or 4. So, an organism with 5 pairs of chromosomes, AaBbCcDdEe, could produce 2^5 or 32 gametes: aBCDE, AbCDE, ABcDE, etc.

Some trolls have one eye (EE, Ee) while others have two (ee). Two heterozygous one-eyed trolls are crossed. What is the expected

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

75% one eye, 25% two eyes (or 3:1 one eye: two eye)

Explanation:

The cross between the two trolls are shown in the attached punnett square

Ee x Ee gives 3 genotypes: EE, Ee, and ee

at a ratio of :1 EE: 2 Ee: 1 ee

Ee and EE are both one eye genotypes, so the <em>phenotype </em>is 3:1 one eye to two eye.

A spike in the popularity of Snapper fish in American restaurants causes a sharp increase in Snapper fishing. How will this affe

Delvig [45]

A spike in the popularity of Snapper fish in American restaurants causing a sharp increase in Snapper fishing will result in the number of Nassau grouper to increase.

<h3>What is the relationship between Snapper fish and Nassau groupers?</h3>

The Snapper fish and Nassau groupers are two types of fishes which are fished for their delicious meat.

Both are found in fish markets where they are important delicacies especially in grilled fish.

An increase in the population of one fish will result in more fishing and hence an increase in the population of the other fish.

Therefore, a spike in the popularity of Snapper fish in American restaurants causing a sharp increase in Snapper fishing will result in the number of Nassau grouper to increase.

In conclusion, the popularity of one fish over the other will affect the population of the other fish.

During which phase of the general adaptation syndrome are organisms best able to physically cope with stress?

Flauer [41]

a. resistance

b. appraisal

c. adjustment

d. resolution

Answer:

a. resistance

Explanation:

An endocrinologist named Hans Selye first described the collection of responses of the body to stress as General Adaptation Syndrome. He describes this syndrome in 3 phases. These include:

The alarm phase: this is the initial phase where the body witnessed the stressful and the body’s energy is boosted.

The Resistance Phase: This is the phase that follows immediately after the alarm phase. Here, the body’s autonomic nervous system helps the body in trying to resist and adapt well to the stressor. This is the phase in which an organism is best able to physically cope with the stress.

The exhaustion phase: When the stress continues at this phase, the body loses its ability to cope with the stress as energy is depleted.
