Answer: Osmosis
Explanation: Osmosis is a process in which water move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. For osmosis to occur, it must be through a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Negative feedback, because sweating can decrease body temperature.
They determine the north and south ends
Answer:
700
Explanation:
If from the question the price per unit of fertilizer, p(x) = 300 - 0.1x
The cost of x units of fertilizer = C(x) = 15000 + 125x + 0.025x^2
And we know that Profit = Revenue - Cost
Revenue for x units of fertilizer R(X) = x*p(x)
= 300x - 0.1x^2
Hence Profit: P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
= [300x - 0.1x^2] - [15000 + 125x + 0.025x^2]
= -0.125x^2 + 175x - 15000
To determine critical values
P'(x) = -0.25x + 175 = 0
Thus x = 175/0.25
x = 700
To maximize profit, the manufactures must produce 700 units of fertilizers
Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
