The correct answer is Integumentary system.

The integumentary system includes skin and all its appendages (hair, scales, feathers, hooves, and nails) with the function to protect the body. It protects body from damage, from loss of water, from abrasion from outside and even protects the deeper tissues. On the other hand, integumentary system excretes wastes, regulates temperature, provides synthesis of vitamin D and many other things.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let the allele for green color of pods be G

and the allele for yellow color of pods be g

Phenotype of true breeding parent with green colored seeds is GG

Phenotype of true breeding parent with yellow colored seeds is gg

In F1 cross

GG mates with gg

Genotype of offspring - Gg

Phenotype of offspring - Green seed

Since the offspring has both the allele for green and yellow seeds color but yet only green is expressed. This indicate that green allele dominated the expression of yellow allele thus, it can be concluded that green seed pods were dominant over yellow seed pods.

Which statement correctly describes one way that the properties of water affect heat and temperature? Water retains more heat th
Sphinxa [80]
I believe the correct statement is that Water absorbs heat when it changes to vapor, helping to keep animals cool through perspiration. Water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to gas at constant temperature. In humans and other organisms, the evaporation of sweat, which is 90% water, cools the body to maintain a steady temperature.
