11. Punnett squares can also be used to predict genotypes of the parents. A guinea pig with short hair is crossed

Biology

Answer:

Ss × ss

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The alleles for short hair (S) is dominant over that of long hair (s).

According to this question, a guinea pig with short hair (S_) is crossed to one that has long hair (ss) to produce offsprings that have 44 short hair and 46 long hair. This number of offsprings produced indicate a ratio of 1:1, which can only be produced if the short haired guinea pig is heterozygous i.e. Ss.

Therefore, the genotype of the parents are Ss (short hair) and ss (long hair) i.e. Ss × ss. This combination will produce offsprings with the following proportion: Ss (1) : ss (1).

A controlled experiment___. A. Includes one group for which the scientist controls all variables. B. Includes at least two group
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Includes at least two groups, one of which does not receive the experimental treatment. (B)

Explanation:

A controlled experiment is made up of at least two groups of participants (subjects). One group (the test group) receives the experimental treatment, which can be an intervention or a new drug to be tested etc, and the effect of the treatment on the subjects is measured, while the second group of similar subjects also known as the control group acts as a baseline and do not receive the treatment or intervention. They act as a baseline to ensure that the change observed in the treatment group was brought about as a result of the treatment.

<em>Note that repeating the experiment several times does not ensure accuracy of the result, rather it ensures reliability of the results hence option D is not correct</em>

If you monitored energy allocation in an adult penguin for just a few months instead of an entire year, you might find the growt
Dmitrij [34]
<h2>Energy allocation in penguin</h2>

Explanation:

  • Although penguins don't grow from year to year, they increase and decrease in size as they repeatedly form and use energy stores,a significant amount of energy might be stored in fat during part of the year but be missing from the pie chart because it is used later in the year  
  • Allocation of limited endogenous resources causes trade-offs between competing traits, such as reproduction, somatic growth and maintenance
  • During food deprivation, animals cannot maximize all of their life-history traits and must exhibit adaptive behavioral, physiological and biochemical responses to reduce metabolism and/or the cost of current activities in order to maintain biological value
