Answer:

Gross primary productivity, or GPP, is the rate at which solar energy is captured in sugar molecules during photosynthesis (energy captured per unit area per unit time). Producers such as plants use some of this energy for metabolism/cellular respiration and some for growth (building tissues).

Which specific subdivision of the nervous system calms the body after strenuous physical activity?

7nadin3 [17]

The answer to this question would be: parasympathetic division

Parasympathetic nervous is part of the autonomous nervous system. In the autonomous nervous system, the sympathetic system is used when you enter the "fight or flight" mode. In this case, the body will be prepared to be able to take a decision as quickly as possible in a strenuous state. The nervous also cause an increase in the heart and breathing rate to increase body capability.
Parasympathetic is the opposite of it which was activated to calm the body so it can maintain the normal body function.

Tay-Sachs disease is a lethal, autosomal recessive genetic disorder. If both parents are heterozygous carriers of the disease, w

rjkz [21]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" gives the normal phenotype while the recessive allele "t" imparts the disease and is lethal in homozygous condition. The genotype of each of the two carrier parents would be "Tt". A cross between Tt and Tt would give the progeny in the following genotype ratio=

Tt x Tt= 1/4 TT: 1/2 Tt: 1/4 tt

Therefore, 1/2 or 50% progeny would be the carrier for the Tay-Sachs disease.

This is an animation of gel electrophoresis. which of these dna molecules is the shortest?

STALIN [3.7K]

In electrophoresis, the molecules travel between the positive electrode and the negative electrode carried by the current that is generated between them.
As seen in the image below, short fragments, due to their smaller size can travel faster than the longer fragments, so the fragments that have traveled the furthermost are the shortest. (marked E in the image)
