In giraffes, long necks (N), long legs (L), dark spots (D), and the ability to digest plant material with high cellulose levels
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

NNllddMM or NnllddMm

Explanation:

Given -

a) Allele representing long neck is N and allele representing small neck is n

b) Allele representing Long legs is L and  allele representing short legs is l

c) Allele representing Dark spots is D and allele representing light spots is d

d) Allele representing ability to digest plant material with high cellulose levels is M and disability to digest plant material with high cellulose levels is m

Genotype for Lock neck would be NN or Nn

Genotype for short-legged would be ll

Genotype for light-spotted would be dd

Genotype for cellulose-digesting giraffe would be MM or Mm

Hence, genotype of a giraffe with  long-necked, short-legged, light-spotted, cellulose-digesting giraffe would be NNllddMM

or NnllddMm

What is a simple definition of Natural selection? I do not understand dictionary description.
SashulF [63]
Natural selection is the process where organisms that are best suited to their environment survive and pass on their genetic traits in increasing number to successive generations. At the same time, organisms that are less adapted fail to survive or multiply at a lower rate, and tend to be eliminated from the ecosystem.

What are the two main ways bacteria cause illness?
oee [108]

Answer:

A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells

B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves

Explanation:

Within the body, bacteria can divide (multiply) and kill host cells by disrupting their normal functioning. Moreover, bacteria secrete toxins that are able to destroy host cells' metabolic machinery.  For instance, many bacteria synthesize exoenzymes and interferons that disrupt and destroy host cells. Bacterial toxins can be synthesized internally in order to develop sensitivity through antigenic properties.
