Rock pocket mice live in the deserts of the American southwest. Ancestral pocket mice all had light-colored coats that blended i

n
with the region's rocks and sandy soil, keeping the mice hidden from predatory owls. About 1.7 million years ago, a series of
volcanic eruptions spewed out wide trails of black lava into the middle of rock pocket mouse territory. Currently there are two color
morphs of rock pocket mice: light-colored mice that are typically found in habitats with sandy soil, and dark-colored mice that are
typically found in habitats with dark-colored lava rocks.
Which of the following best justifies the claim that alleles that may be adaptive in one type of environment can be deleterious in
another because of different selective pressures?

The ABO blood group assorts independently of the Rhesus (Rh) blood group and the MN blood group. Three alleles, IA , IB , and i,
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Part 1:

The mother’s genotype is ii, rr, MN

The father’s genotype is IAIA/IAi, Rr, MM

Part 2:

Approximately 1/32 (3.125%) of children can be expected to have the stated blood types.

Explanation:

Part 1:

The mother has blood types 0, Rh- and MN. Therefore, her genotype has to be ii, rr, MN.

The father has ABO type A. His ABO genotype may therefore be either IAIA or IAi, as both are compatible with type A offspring with a type 0 mother. His Rh genotype must be rr, since his Rh- child necessarily has to have inherited one r allele from each parent. Finally, his MN genotype has to be MM since both alleles are codominant.

Part 2:

Using the given data, we build the following Punnett chart:

                IA R N     IA r N     i R N     i r N    

IA R M

IA R N

IA r M

IA r N

IB R M

IB R N

IB r M                                                    X

IB r N                                                              

Note that, of all 32 possible combinations, only a single one of them (marked with “X” produces a genotype which matches the desired blood type, as follows:

genotype: IBi, rr, MN

blood type: B, Rh-, MN

Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. resethelp biomass assimilated feces
yaroslaw [1]

1. The right answer is not assimilated

The assimilation designates in biology the process by which substances and materials external to the body are transformed into substances and materials interior to the body.

2.  The right answer is feces.

Feces correspond to the residue of digestion that the intestine could not absorb. They consist of 80% water and 20% dry matter (intestinal cell debris, bacteria, cellulose that comes from the non-absorbable part of plants).

3. The right answer is assimilated  

The opposite of the first one.

4. The right answer is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is the process of cellular metabolism that converts the chemical energy contained in nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

5. The right answer is assimilated

"Assimilation" can be also used for energy.

6. The right answer is biomass

In the field of energy, biomass is the organic matter of plant origin (microalgae included), animal, bacterial or fungal (fungi), usable as a source of energy.

7. The right answer is biosynthesis.

Biosynthesis consists of a formation and production of a chemical compound body by a living organism, usually due to the catalysis of an enzyme. For example, protein synthesis is the synthesis of organic substances by an organism. Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are biosynthesis.

8. The right answer is non assimilated.

Since it is lost, so it is not assimilated by the organism.

9. The right answer is biosynthesis.

In ecology, the trophic level is the rank occupied by a living being in a food web. It is measured in some way by the distance separating this being from the basic level which is that of the primary autotrophic production.

Above this basic level, each link (or stage) of a food chain corresponds to a trophic level.

Which of these would not be considered an invasive species?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

C) In 1946, the Argentinian government imported fifty beavers from Canada, which were to be released in Cami Lake with the intention of creating a commercial fur trading industry. Though a viable industry ultimately failed to materialize, the introduction of the beavers into the region has had far-reaching consequences.
