Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

Explanation:

It is given that long hair is a dominant represented by H, over the short hair represented by h. In the cross of a heterozygous cat for long hair with a cat with short hair, would produce H, h and h, h gametes respectively.

Cross: Hh × hh

    H    h

h    Hh   hh

h   Hh   hh

In this Punnett, there are two heterozygous long hair offspring produced and two short-hair cats.

So, Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

Schizocoelic development

The coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, where the internal organs are suspended in. It is the cavity between the wall of the body and the digestive tract.

In the schizocoelic development of the embryo, the coelom, called the schizocoel, develops as a split in the mesoderm. The outer layer of the mesoderm attaches with the ectoderm to form a body's musculature, while the inner layer attaches with the endoderm to form the wall of the digestive tract. 

This type of development is commonly found in annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.

A gecko is a type of reptile. How does a gecko most likely respond to cold air temperatures?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Your answer is D). Like most cold-blooded animals, geckos' bodies are unable to maintain a homeostatic body temperature on their own, therefore they must bask in the sun in order to increase their body heat, and hide in the shade when it's too hot.
