What is the correct term for an area of rotating currents in an ocean

Biology

Allushta [10]3 years ago

<h2><u>ANSWER:</u></h2>

I believe the answer is "When ocean currents combine, they create an area of rotating currents called a(n) <u>gyre</u>."

<h2><u>EXPLANATION: </u></h2>

In oceanography, a gyre is any large system of circulating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements. Gyres are caused by the Coriolis effect; planetary vorticity along with horizontal and vertical friction, determine the circulation patterns from the wind stress curl.

Given the parents AABBCc × AabbCc, assume simple dominance for each trait and independent assortment. What proportion of the pro
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

If we assume simple dominance and independent assortment for each trait, we can use Mendel's Law of Segregation to predict the phenotypic proportions in the offspring of the parental cross AABBCc x AabbCc.

<h3><u>Gene A</u></h3>

AA x Aa

  • F1 genotypes: 1/2 AA, 1/2 Aa
  • F1 phenotypes: all A
<h3 /><h3><u>Gene B</u></h3>

BB x bb

  • F1 genotypes: 1 Bb
  • F1 phenotypes: all B
<h3 /><h3><u>Gene C</u></h3>

Cc x Cc

  • F1 genotypes:  1/4 CC, 2/4 Cc, 1/4 cc
  • F1 phenotypes: 3/4 C, 1/4 cc

We want to know the proportion of progeny with all dominant phenotype (A_B_C_). Since the genes are independent, we can multiply the probabilities of each gene to obtain the overall probability of having a ABC progeny:

<h3>1 A_ x 1 B_ x 3/4 C_ = 3/4 A_B_C_</h3>

gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) increased exchange surface provided by their membranes

Explanation:

Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are responsible for exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. Alveoli have elastic fibers in order to expand and recoil depending on the volume of air breathed in. The alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes) may adopt a shape that serves to increase the surface area of gas exchange. On the other hand, intestinal epithelial cells have microvilli, which are microscopic projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli serve to increase the cell's surface area, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water.

Two brothers inherit different sets of alleles from their parents. what effect will they have?
lesya692 [45]
Depending on what trait the alleles carry, the brothers will have a different phenotype and a different genotype.
For example; Eye color. My sister is heterozygous, meaning she has brown eyes. I am homozygous recessive, meaning I have blue(green/hazel) eyes. We both have the same parents, I just happened to inherit both of the recessive eye color alleles from my parents whereas, my sister inherited both the dominant and recessive alleles. 

So, since the brothers inherited different sets of alleles, their genotype for a certain trait will be different.

Shalnov [3]

<span>The second statement is correct.  Viruses can infect all cellular life forms, but each cellular species can be infected by own limited specific range of viruses. Most viruses that harm animals can not harm humans. But, some viruses can infect different species of mammals, for example both bats and humans can be infected be rabies.</span>
