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).

Name and describe the phase change that occurs when solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) is placed in an open container at room temper
Valentin [98]

If you put a lump of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) in a paper cup or
on a paper plate on the kitchen counter, it gets smaller and smaller
and finally it just disappears, but you never see a puddle around it
like you would with regular ice!

Carbon dioxide has no liquid phase when the pressure on it is less than
about 5 times normal atmospheric pressure.  So in the kind of pressure
that we like to live in, dry ice goes straight to gas when it melts.  That kind
of behavior is called "sublimation", and we say that the dry ice "sublimes".

Every substance has some pressure limit like that.  For water, it's 0.006 of
normal atmospheric pressure.  At any pressure lower than that, liquid water
can't exist, and an ice cube sublimes ... it melts directly into water vapor
without a puddle.

Which of the purely endocrine organs contain modified neurons that produce and secrete neurohormones?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

D. Only the adrenal medullae

Explanation:

The adrenal medulla is the inner region of the adrenal gland. It consists of the modified sympathetic ganglion of the autonomic nervous system and develops from the same embryonic tissue as all other sympathetic ganglia. The cells of the adrenal medulla lack axons and are [present in the form of clusters around large blood vessels.

The chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla serve the endocrine function. These cells are innervated by sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the ANS. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine which are called neurohormone as being secreted by neurons.

How is a protein like a car engine?<br> EXPLAIN.
SashulF [63]
Well, to put it to the simplest way I can get it. Protein acts as a car engine because it gives us the energy to go and do things like a car engine gives a car the will to move.
