Answer:

wind

Explanation:

As the air heats up and becomes less dense, it rises higher into the atmosphere, thereby cooler air takes its place and produces wind (moving air is wind). This wind can produce a positive feedback loop that increases the transfer of heat by both evaporation (i.e., by losing heat through the conversion of water to vapor) and convection (i.e., through the movement of air). In consequence, wind created by temperature fluctuation can amplify the effects of temperature. In organisms, winds can also contribute to water loss by increasing the evaporation/transpiration rate.

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathway was shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing th

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.

Explanation:

According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+ = 3-phosphoglycerate

So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.

As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.

From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.

So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.

In Guinea pigs, short hair is dominant and long hair is recessive. A

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.

b. Ss (male) × ss (female)

c. 50% Ss, 50% ss

d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).

a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.

b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)

c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.

d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
