Hello! Your answer is A, blue is dominant to white.
A dominant gene means that it is always expressed if present, no matter what other genes there are. For example, if there is a dominant blue gene, and a recessive red gene, blue will be expressed.
In this case, we see that all three children are blue. This shows that blue is most likely dominant, and white is recessive.
Let's approach the other case, that white is dominant to blue. If white is dominant, then the blue smurf must have two blue recessive traits, and the white smurf would either have two white dominant traits, or one white and one blue trait. The only possible way the children can have a blue color is if the white smurf is heterozygous (meaning it has two different genes, in this case one blue and one white), and passes down the recessive gene three times. As you can see, this is very unlikely.
If white and blue are codominant, then the children would have a mixture of the two genes. (Most likely). This is not the case.
Therefore, your answer is A.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
B. The rain shadow effect causes equal
precipitation on both sides of a mountain.
Explanation:
A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ... On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked. ... This cool air cannot hold moisture as well as warm air. Cool air forms clouds, which drop rain and snow, as it rises up a mountain.
to be quite honest, I wasn't too sure on this question but I believe it's habitat destruction. if i'm wrong, my apologies.
<span>Glycolysis is dependent on oxygen, as oxygen molecules are necessary to break down the glucose molecule, the target of glycolysis. When an air supply is cut off, Oxygen is cut off as well. Thus, glycolysis cannot support brain cells without oxygen, as without oxygen, glycolysis does not occur and cannot be catalyzed in a normal environment.</span>
