What is the Gila Monster’s advantage/disadvantage?

Biology
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
3 0

The Gila monster is one of only a handful of venomous lizards in the world. Others include the similar-looking Mexican beaded lizards, as well as iguanas and monitor lizards. Its venom is a fairly mild neurotoxin. And though a Gila bite is extremely painful, none has resulted in a reported human death.

It has been accused of many things, such as spitting venom, leaping several feet in the air to attack, stinging with its tongue, and killing people with gusts of poisonous breath. ... It may even chew so that the venom goes deeper into the wound. A Gila monster bite is painful to humans, but it rarely causes death.

Powerful muscles control the jaws and give the Gila Monster a bite like a bulldog--it just won't let go. This gives the venom a chance to work, weakening or disabling the lizard's prey.

ad-work [718]

Answer: Acquired Active Immune Response System

Explanation:

Vaccines are substances that are prepared from the causative agent of a disease or its synthetic substitute, which  is treated to mimic the actual antigen of the disease. This artificial antigen of the disease, thereby stimulates the production of antibodies that helps in fighting the disease and also provides immunity against the disease in the body.  

A primary response system is stimulated in the presence of the vaccine, which acts as an antigen. In this way, an artificially acquired active immune response system is created naturally using vaccines.

Gene A converts compound A (green) to compound B (blue). Gene B converts compound B to compound C (red). These compounds determi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The options

a. 3:4

b. 3:1

c. 4:3

d. 4:9

e. 1:3

The CORRECT ANSWER IS e.

e. 1:3

Explanation:

Compound A (green) , GENE A is transformed to Compound B (blue)

Compound B (blue) , GENE B is transformed to Compound C (red)

After gene A as transformed the compund A to compound B, gene B can can transform the compound B to C. Therefore, once gene A is forming blue colour from green, gene B as the capability to form red colour from the blue one.

Lets cross AaBb X AaBb (the product of the cross is shown in the attached image. )

we will have the following genotypes:

AABB-1

AABb- 2

AaBB-2

AaBb-4

We obtain a functional copy of A and B gene from the cross. Thus, the transformation of colour will proceed from green to red and they will form red colour, giving us 9 red colour.

AA bb -1

Aa bb -2

The functional B gene is absent in these organism while the funtional A gene can be seen, thus only blue colour will be formed or 3 individual will give the blue colour.

aa BB -1

aa Bb -2

aa bb-1

these set of individual will not give or form any colour as they do not possess the functional A gene which is a requirement for starting the cascade of transforming the compounds.

Therefore, the blue to red offspring will be

3:9 or 1:3

19. Which species gymnosperm has brightly colored, fleshy female cones that people often
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Ginkgo

Explanation:

There are 4 types of gymnosperms that produce fleshy fruits around their seeds which are usually considered as cones. These are Ginkgo, conifers, gnetophytes, and cycads. These plants have been evolved for fruit production as gymnosperms are known for their naked ovules and their seeds are stored in rough woody structure that is called as cone. There are separate males and female cones are present in gymnosperms.

Among the options given Ginkgo is the correct option it produces cones that look like berries. This advantageous evolution and helps in transfer of seeds through animals as they consume fruits or berries and disperse seeds in their feces.
