In fruit flies, long wings are a dominant trait (L) and short wings are a recessive trait (l). Two fruit flies that are heterozy

Answer:

45

Explanation:

Both parents are hetero-zygous, so each has alleles Ll.

When Ll crosses with Ll, we have

LL 25%

Ll 50%

ll 25%

So out of 180 offspring, we expect about 25% to have short wings, or

25%*180 = 45

Why does each offspring get 2 alleles for a trait?
balu736 [363]
  • During meiosis, chromosome pairs are split apart and distributed into cells called gametes. Each gamete contains a single copy of every chromosome, and each chromosome contains one allele for every gene. Therefore, each allele for a given gene is packaged into a separate gamete.

How are homeostasis and cellular respiration mutually dependent on one another?
Arturiano [62]

Cellular respiration describes the process of oxygen and glucose and converting into water and carbon dioxide. Homeostasis is a term which refers to biological processes in which living things must maintain stable and equal conditions for survival. Cellular respiration which uses oxygen and glucose must be able to sustain life by releasing energy which is called ATP, the ATP which is produced enables many biological processes that keeps organisms alive. Cells need energy to grow, move, and function. The process of homeostasis enables cellular respiration to produce enough molecules which can sustain the development of the cell. Without homeostasis cellular respiration would cease to function and without cellular respiration the process of homeostasis would not occur. Homeostasis regulates how much molecules have to be expended in order to produce energy for the process of cellular respiration.

1.what is carbon cycle?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The carbon cycle describes the process in which carbon atoms continually travel from the atmosphere to the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Since our planet and its atmosphere form a closed environment, the amount of carbon in this system does not change .

Excess carbon in the atmosphere warms the planet and helps plants on land grow more. Excess carbon in the ocean makes the water more acidic, putting marine life in danger. Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere naturally when organisms respire or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks are weathered, forest fires occur, and volcanoes erupt.
