Answer: 3.

Explanation:

The concept is based on sexual imprinting which results from selection for recognition of conspecifics.

Sexual imprinting is the mechanism by which a young animal discovers the properties of a desired mate. Male zebra finches, for example, tend to favor mates with the presence of the female bird rearing them, rather than that of the birth parent when they're special.

A female zebra finch select a male that resembels her father with a red feather taped to his head for reprodcution because there are sufficient opportunity of sexual imprinting.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

As the ice melts in the arctic regions, the arctic sea levels and the other oceans stay the same. The weather however changes when this happens and results to the Greenland's melting ice sheet adding another 20 feet to sea level rise.

In summary, the melting of polar ice caps effects would result in sea levels rising around 220 feet or more worldwide.

This will lead to destruction of lives, houses and properties due to water submersion.

disa [49]

The amount of glucose in each ml of their blood will be 0.00138 g.

<h3>Blood glucose concentration</h3>

The concentration of glucose in the person's blood is 1.38%.

This means that there is 1.38 g of sugar per Liter of blood.

1 Liter of blood contains 1.38 g of glucose, and there is 1000 mL in 1 Liter of blood.

1000 mL contains 1.38 g

1 ml contains = 1.38 x 1 / 1000 = 0.00138 g

This means 0.00138 g of glucose will be present in every 1 mL of the person's blood.

Katena32 [7]
<span>#1) With reference to the role of oncogenes, explain how the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost.

Answer: The way that cell cycle can be lost is by going through changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. Cancer causes different types of mutations. There are two types of cell cycle regulators that can promote the development of cancer:

-Positive Regulators that can be over activated (become oncogenic).
-Negative Regulators (tumor suppressors) which can be inactivated.

I hope it helps, Regards. <span /><span>
