Answer:

B. Do not need much water, so they prefer soil that drains the water.

Explanation:

Sandy soil is one of the three basic soil types we have in nature (the others being loamy soil and clayey soil). One of the properties of the Sandy soil is its high water draining ability i.e. it has a low water holding capacity. This draining characteristics is due to the large pores that Sandy soils possess.

According to this question, three plants namely: yarrow, bearded iris, and sea oats grow best in sandy soil. This indirectly means that these plants mentioned do not need much water for their growth since they grow best in a soil that drains water efficiently.

In doing these exercises, this is likely to increase the response of the parasympathetic nervous system in which results of making the heart slow and as well as the respiration rate with less muscular tension. The parasympathetic nervous system is the one responsible for conserving energy that makes the heart rate slower, increase the activity of the gland and intestinal activity and as well as relaxing the muscles.

In guinea pigs hair straightness or curliness is thought to be governed by a single pair of alleles showing incomplete dominance

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Frequency of allele S is p $= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q $= 0.666$

The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

Given -

Number of individuals with straight hair $= 244$

Number of individuals with curly hair $= 444$

Number of individuals with Wavy hair $= 312$

Let "p" represents the frequency for allele for straight hair and "q" represents the frequency for allele for curly hair

$p^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "SS"

$p^{2} = \frac{244}{1000} \\= 0.244$

$q^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "CC"

$p^{2} = \frac{444}{1000} \\= 0.444$

$2pq$ represents the frequency of genotype "SC"

$2pq = \frac{312}{1000} \\= 0.312$

Frequency of allele S is p

$= \sqrt{0.244} \\= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q

tex]= \sqrt{0.444} \\= 0.666[/tex]

For being in Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p+q=1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.4939+0.666\neq 1$

hence, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Bioflix activity: meiosis -- comparing mitosis and meiosis can you identify the similarities and differences between mitosis and

Natali5045456 [20]

1. Similarities:
they are both processes of cell division by which cells reproduce.
They share several steps of the process(prophase, metaphase, anaphase e telophase, cytokinesis) but meiosis has another division also with those same steps.
In both cases the cell duplicates its DNA by pulling it apart into two sets, place the sets on each end of the cell, and then divide down the middle.

Both produce new cells based on their parent cells' genes.

2. The differences:

Mitosis:
- has 1 division per cycle
- one cell produces 2 new cells
- the genetic information in the mother-cell and the daughter-cells are the same. ( the number of chromosomes is also the same)
- it occurs in somatic cells
Meiosis:
- two divisions per cycle.
- one cell when divides produces 4 new cells
- the new cells have different genetic information. mixes the the genetic material from the parent cells
- the number of chromosomes of the daughter cells is half of the mother's.
