Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The chance that a child from two people with sickle cell trait will have normal RBCs remains the same irrespective of the amount of oxygen in the environment.</em> From the cross:

                  AS    x    AS

            AA    AS    AS    SS

Hence, the chance of having a child with normal RBCs in both high and low-oxygen environments is 1/4 or 25%.

The chance that a child will have sickle cell disease is also 1/4   or 25%.

The possible genotypes in a Punnet's square can be seen in the attached image

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Water absorbs heat by breaking hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

Specific heat is the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1 gram of that substance to change its temperature by 1 degree. As someone works out, their body releases sweat to keep their body from overheating. Specific heat it mentions that hydrogen bonds between water molecules require heat to form and break, which is what happens when we sweat.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  • Protozoans → would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food → Heterotrophs
  • Algae → would have survived without this food source → Heterotrophs

Explanation:

The protist kingdom is composed of two main groups.  The principal difference between them is that algae can produce their own food, while protozoans need to ingest other organisms or organic molecules to survive.

  • Algaes are autotroph
  • Protozoans are heterotroph

<u>Protozoans</u>:

Microscopic unicellular organisms, eukaryotic and heterotrophs -predators or detritivores-. Most of them are aquatic free-living organisms, but some species are parasites. They feed on<u> bacteria</u>, other organic wastes, and other microscopic organisms. The phagocytosis process is normally used to ingest the food, invaginating their cell membrane.  

<u>Algae</u>:

Eukaryotic micro- or macroscopic organisms. Autotroph and photosynthetic. They might be either unicellular or pluricellular. They use sunlight to synthesize organic matter from water, CO₂, and mineral salts. Unicellular ones can be free-living or associate with others to form colonies. They are part of the phytoplankton and are ingested by heterotrophic organisms. Pluricellular algae do not create real tissues but they compose a tale. The depth at which they inhabit depends on the pigments they produce. All of them inhabit fresh or sea waters.
