The elements are pure forms of matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
<span>1.) What is the most important source of energy that our body craves more than any other?
Glucose is a type of sugar you would find in healthy fruits and vegetables. The body needs this to be active and full of energy. It starts as glucose, then gets turned into ATP.
2.) What are the organelles in each cell that burn this energy?
Mitochondria, and cytoplasm.</span>
Answer:
Red blood cells, root hair cells in plants
Explanation:
Red blood cell: it has no nucleus. It offers the cell to carry more hemoglobin
Root hair cells in plants: they have a large cytoplasm which enables them to take water from the soil.
9:3: 3:1 is the phenotypic ratio showing traits as black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair when a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse.
Explanation:
Dominant trait = black hair colour (BB,Bb), trotting (TT,Tt) , long hair (LL,Ll)
recessive trait = chesnut hair colour (bb), pacing gait (tt), short hair(ll)
cross between chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length will have alleles as BbLl
alleles for hybrid horse will also be heterozygous Bb, Ll
Punnett square to show the cross:
BL Bl bL bl
BL BBLL BBLl BbLL BbLl
Bl BBLl BBll BbLl Bbll
bL BbLL BbLl bbLL bbLl
bl BbLl Bbll bblL bbll
phenotype ratio
black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair
9:3: 3:1 is the phenotype ratio.
Answer:
1. Stabilizing Selection
2. Directional Selection
3. Disruptive Selection
Explanation:
Stabilizing Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:
Example: For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.
Directional Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:
Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.
Disruptive Selection
This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:
Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.
