I believe it affects the amount of runoff because soil in plants tries to absorb water which would take some of that runoff water
C.there is no relationship between metabolic rate and body temperature.
Cloning is a process of producing genetically identical organisms through the techniques of biotechnology. Reproductive cloning of animals involves the somatic cell nuclear transfer in which the nucleus from an adult donor cell is transferred to an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed. It is then incorporated into the uterus of a surrogate animal.
Pet cloning is not acceptable because of the following reasons-
(1) Its a very expensive procces with a high rate of failure.
(2) The clones produced tend to develop health problems. Large Offspring Syndrome (LOS) with very large organs is observed showing problems with blood flow and breathing with respect to heart and lungs, renal failure and other complicated issues.
(3) The clones are susceptible to skeletal abnormalities, higher rates of infection and tumour development. This results in a high mortality (death) rates.
(4) Since a surrogate mother is involved in the process of cloning, they experience a lot of health problems while carrying the embryos and sometimes it can be even killed.
Thus, cloning of pets is not acceptable as it affects both the cloned animal and the surrogate mother which is not preferred. Instead, adopting a homeless pet will provide shelter to another animal with a better nourishment.
Segregation of alleles happens when the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. So if you had heterozygous tall plants and mated them (Tt x Tt), they would each separate into T and t, allowing each offspring to get either a T or a t from each parent. The possible genotypes would be TT, Tt and tt.
Tall parents can have a short child, short parents can have a tall child , and two parents of the same height may have a child in between?
