Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the hair types of two cats

The first one has long hair, and it's heterozygous, meaning it has one dominant, and one recessive allele. We are given that it is a carrier of the short hair allele, meaning in its genotype, it has the short hair gene (that doesn't necessarily mean it's there in its phenotype). However, since it has long hair (genotype), that means that the long hair allele is dominant (the gene that will always show), and the short haired one is recessive (the gene that gets "covered up" by the dominant allele). Let's say the genotype of the long haired cat is Tt, where T is the long hair, and t is the short hair  

The second cat has short hair, and as we have mentioned above, the allele for short hair is recessive, so the short haired cat has 2 copies of the short hair allele. Its genotype is tt

Please see below for the Punnett Square

Hope this helps! :)

I think the nurse should not allow the parents to do their crying and yelling or exclude them until the anxious child has calmed down as the child cannot deal with her/his  pain as long she/he is stressed out by the parents behaviour.

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.
xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.

Reasoning - Usually in an island surrounded by water has little of life because the limited resources but also if there were to be species living within the island it will be very little because of the resources they compete. Especially moving away from mainland since (No Humans) lol.

Where near your home do you think the highest level of photosynthesis is happening?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

I live in a rural area which is surrounded by mountains and valleys. Near my home there is small forest area where there are hundreds of thick tall forests, algae and many other photosynthetic plants.

The atmosphere of that forest is very clean and refreshing because there is alot of oxygen being produced there due to alot of photosynthesis being done by all the lush green plants there.

Due to photosynthesis, carbon di oxide that is an environmental pollutant is maximum used by the plants and maximum. Oxygen is produced as a result of photosynthesis.

This causes the environment of not only that forest but my whole village very clean and fresh to breath. We are living a healthy life where there is a less prevalence of diseases or infections that are caused by environmental pollutants like Bronchitis, Lungs infection, neural disorders etc.

Therefore, even if there is not such an area near your home, we would suggest you to plant more trees in your backyard that will make the environment of not only your home but your area very fresh and clean.


Hope it help!
