Imagine researchers following up on seeley's study brought some flat periwinkles appledore island into the lab to test for herit

ability. What results could they observe that would support the hypothesis that shell thickness is heritable in these snails?

Answer:

If thick-shelled snails have thick-shelled offspring and thin-shelled snails have thin-shelled offspring then this is good evidence that shell thickness is heritable.

Explanation:

Inheritance is a natural mechanism by which genetic information contained in the DNA sequence is passed from parents to offspring. Moreover, heritability is a measure of the genetic influence on the variation in a particular phenotypic trait (e.g., height, eye color, etc.) between individuals in a population. The values of heritability for a particular phenotypic trait range from zero (when all variation in a population comes from environmental factors and therefore is not heritable) to one (when all variation in a population comes from genetic factors and therefore is heritable). For example, in this case, if parental snails always have offspring with the same phenotype for the trait ‘shell thickness’, it would indicate that the heritability for this trait is equal to one, thereby evidencing that all of the variability for the trait 'shell thickness' comes from genetic differences.

What are possible benefits of studying Biology?
IRINA_888 [86]
Science means to know. Biology is the study of living things.
You understand a lot more of the function of the body (EMT, healthcare, diseases, etc.)
animals (veterinary work,etc.) You will understand the intro into genetics, and the ways in which the sun and plants directly influences our entire world.
Biology is a form of science that is pretty broad, and at the same time a form of science you can use in every day life of understanding the basic things that happen around you (in culture, family, news, environment, behavioural, etc.)
Biology is also a great way to get your feet wet into basic science- a launching pad for chemistry, physics, etc. Hope this helped. :)

6. Why do some minerals grow into large, well-defined crystals while others do not?
yan [13]

Answer:

Mineral crystals that form when magma cools slowly are larger than crystals that form when lava cools rapidly. Minerals form when rocks are heated enough that atoms of different elements can move around and join into different molecules.

What is the serosa?
FinnZ [79.3K]
The correct option is A.
The serosa refers to the outermost layer of loose connective tissues which is often covered by mucus and which contains blood vessels. In the gastrol intestinal tract, the serosa refers to the outermost layer of the wall of the GI tract. One major function of serosa is to reduce friction from muscle movement.

15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
olga_2 [115]
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity
