Answer:
an agglutinogen is any antigen, or foreign cell, toxin, bacteria, or anything else that gets the immune system reacting, that makes your body generate agglutinins. ... Agglutinins have multiple arms that can bind onto agglutinogens. This means one agglutinin can hold lots of invading pathogens together
Explanation:
Answer:
The large eyed ducks had an undesirable trait, but the small eyed ducks have a desirable trait. Because the large eyed ducks had a trait that decreases their chances of survival, they wete killed. But small eyed ducks are lucky because they have a trait that increases their chance of survival. The small eyed ducks reproduce more offspring that have small eyes, but the large eyed ducks cannot because they didn't survive. This causes that the allele for large eyes in the gene pool to decrease.
Answer:
Luzon Island, in the Philippines has the greatest number of unique animal species.
Explanation:
Researchers have shown that out of 56 species of non-flying mammal species that are now known to live on the island, 52 live nowhere else in the world. Of those 56 species, 28 were discovered during the course of the project. Nineteen of the species have been formally described in scientific journals, and nine are currently “in the works.” Currently 93% of the island's land land mammals have been found no where else.
Persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the foods chain causing harmful effects on the environment including posing a threat to humans health in the long term. Nonpersistent organophosphate pesticides are more toxic than the former but degrade after a short life span. Therefore they cause immediate harm in case one is in contact with them.
The fact that they do not accumulate in the environment, they are more favourable than chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides will affect several generations due to their accumulation in the environment. However they don't need to be re-applied hence are less expensive
Answer:
a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae.
b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Antennae development ⇒ controlled by maternal effect
- Zig-zag coils are dominant
- Curly coils are recessive
- A female develops zig-zag coils
Maternal effect: Refers to the influence of the “environment provided by the mother” on the progeny phenotype. The mother´s genotype directly determines the progeny phenotype. Even though the progeny has a different genotype, it is irrelevant, as well as the father´s genotype or phenotype. This means that no matter what is the genotype of the offspring, all of them will express the same phenotype as their mother. The maternal effect is commonly seen in insects and might be seen in some mammals and plants.
So, if a female has zig-zag coils, this means that the mother also has zig-zag antennae and that all the brothers and sisters of this female ant have zig-zag antennae, independently of their genotype.
a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The trait is inherited from the mother.
b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The whole progeny will express sig-zag antennae.
c. This female carries the zig-zag allele ⇒ Not necessarily.
d. This female's offspring will have zig-zag antennae ⇒ Depends on it´s genotype
