Answer:

75% probability

Explanation:

The father have the trait of sickle cell anemia which means he is a sickle cell dominant with a trait of dominant SS ( meaning he has displays the severe symptoms of sickle cell disease that occur in a person who has two copies of that allele i.e homozygous). While the mother is heterogygous which means that she has one abnormal allele of the hemoglobin beta gene represented as As.

Based on this notion, upon crossing of the traits the probabilities are<em> 75% Heterogygous trait and 25% homoxygous traits (i.e As, As, As, SS)</em>. Meaning 75% of the children will be unaffected by the Sickle cell anemia, while 25% will be affected by the anemia.

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. One species is much better competitor than the other.

B. Periodic disturbances allow for coexistence.

C. Two species tended to use different resources.

D. The two species experienced interference competition and not exploitative competition.

The correct option C.

Two species tended to use different resources.

Explanation:

From Gause experiments on competing paramecium pairs, He found out that most times both species persisted and sometimes only one did because the two species uses different resources.

Organisms normally compete for limited resources in order to survive and one intend to compete well while other suffer. Both in the case of competing paramecium pairs, the pair use different resources which make the to persist and survive well. Once the resource of one finishes, the other one will persist because it is still surviving on its available resources.

Describe what messages are sent by the nervous system when you go outside wearing a sweater on a very hot day.​
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:

  • The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
  • Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
  • The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
  • Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.
