Lasting genetic similarities make the two bears biological sister species, more closely related to one another than to any others. ... But Ursus maritimus has also evolved to match its polar environment, growing a longer snout than brown bears' and larger, paddle-like paws, both of which aid polar bears in hunting seals.

Which of the following causes the jet stream?
lakkis [162]
A jet stream forms high in the upper troposphere between two air masses<span> of very different temperature. The greater the temperature difference between the air masses, the faster the wind blows in the jet stream. 
</span>.
.
So "Differences in temperature between two air masses" is the answer

While Maria's mom has small ears (alleles ee), her dad has large ears (alleles EE). What are the possible phenotypes Maria would
Svetach [21]
The only possible phenotype is large ears.

This is because using a punnet square reveals that each option has a dominant allele of large ears, leaving no room for the recessive trait of small ears.

Hope this helps!

In a plant called jimsonweed, flowers can be white or purple. A jimsonweed plant with white flowers is crossed with a jimsonweed
STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Although statements are not given in the question, we could make the most possible deduction as follows:

The allele for purple flowers is dominant whereas allele for white flowers is recessive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the question,

  1. Purple flower plant was crossed with white flower plant.
  2. All offsprings have purple flowers.

Here we have one possibility that both parents were homozygous but in their own traits. <u>Purple flower</u> plants were "PP" and white <u>flower plants</u> were "pp" So, the <u>first progeny</u> (direct offsprings) would have "Pp". So, as per considerations, purple is dominant allele which will mask the recessive allele thus defining the color of all offsprings as purple. However, further cross of their generation will definitely end up into purple and white flowers (3:1) but this condition is not mentioned in the statement.

Answer:

  1. Respiratory system
  2. Nervous system
  3. Circulatory system
  4. Integumentary system
  5. Endocrine system

Explanation:

During excessive hard work or sports, the respiratory system acts to provide sufficient oxygen for energy supply (ATP) - a process takes place in mitochondria. At the very beginning, the respiratory system is active. If the person doesn't intake sufficient water, he will feel tired because of heavy breathing that increases body temperature and affects metabolic reactions. A supply of water would help decrease the respiration need and so support other systems.

The nervous system (hypothalamus) regulates the body temperature which is necessary for metabolic reactions taking place within the body, i.e. homeostasis. During and after exercise, the water intake was not sufficient, this means that the hypothalamus would work to maintain the temperature as well as other metabolic mechanisms. In the case of less water intake, the nervous system would be in stress.

The circulatory system acts to transport blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. During sports activities, the oxygen supply would be high to maintain energy supply. This takes place with the combined action of the circulatory system and respiratory system. For optimal functioning, the circulatory system needs fluids (water) intake because sufficient water is already lost during sports.

The integumentary system is the system that directly protects the body from damages including dehydration. Therefore, in this case, it will be highly active.

The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones to control body metabolism. The body metabolism, as mentioned before, is driven through water availability. The reduced water in the body would also put the endocrine system under pressure.
