Silverback gorillas live high in the mountains in two protected parks in Africa. They are also referred to as mountain gorillas. Silverback gorillas continually wander through their home ranges of 10 to 15 square miles, feeding and resting throughout the day. Because gorillas are nomadic, they build new nests each day at dusk, constructing them out of bent branches in a tree or of grasses on the ground. Silverback gorillas have long black hair and their thick, shaggy coats help to keep them warm in cold climates. Adult male mountain gorillas are called Silverbacks because of the silver saddle of hair on their backs. Mountain gorillas have a stocky build, with a broad chest, long, muscular arms and wide feet and hands. Their arms are longer than their legs. Gorillas live in groups. Each gorilla family has a silverback as leader who scares away other animals by standing erect on its hind legs, tearing up and throwing plants, drumming on the chest with its hands or fists, stamping its feet, striking the ground with its palms and galloping in a mock attack on all fours!

Silverback Gorillas are around six feet tall – about the height of an adult male – while females are around five feet tall. Silverback gorillas weigh approximately 350 pounds- about twice the weight of normal adult man. Gorillas are herbivores, and eat only plants. They spend most of their day foraging for food and eating bamboo and leafy plants

Silverback gorillas were not even known to exist until 1902.Today, their habitat is being destroyed when people use the land for farming and the trees for fuel. Gorillas are also killed by poachers and sometimes get caught in poacher’s snares meant for other animals. The Silverback Gorilla is the most endangered species of Gorilla.

Hope my answer helped u :)

1. How are Lipids and Fatty Acids similar? How are they different?<br><br> Use evidence
Eduardwww [97]

Explanation:

Similar: Fatty acids are generally long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one of the ends. While Lipids are polymers of fatty acids with a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a small polar oxygen group.

Different: Fats are actually a type of lipid. Lipids are a major class of biochemical compounds that includes oils as well as fats. Organisms use lipids to store energy and for many other uses. Lipid molecules consist mainly of repeating units called fatty acids.

Michelle was curious about her mother's blood type. Michelle knew that her own blood type was o,
babymother [125]

Blood type is determined by the I gene. IAIA and IAi determines A blood type. IBIB and IBi determines B blood type. ii determines 0 blood type. <em>Michelle's mother must at least carry one recessive allele i</em>.

--------------------------------

The blood type is determined by a gene, which is triallelic.

  • IA dominant over i. The person presents A type of antigens.

  • IB dominant over i. The person presents B type of antigens.

  • IA and IB are codominant. The person presents both types of antigens, A and B.

  • i is the recessive allele. The person does not present any antigen.

⇒  H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IAIA, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IAi, will express the A blood type.

⇒  H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IBIB, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IBi, will express the B blood type.

⇒ Individuals with h0m0zyg0us recessive genotype, ii will express the 0 blood type.

⇒ Individuals carrying IA and IB alleles will express the AB blood type.

To solve the problem, we will use this information.

We know that

  • Michelle is blood type 0

  • Father is blood type A

  • Brother and sister are blood type A

  • Mother??

⇒ If Michelle is blood type 0, then her genotype is ii. She must have received one recessive allele from her father and one from her mother.

⇒ This suggests that Michelle's father, who is blood type A, is heter0zyg0us IAi. He must have at least one dominant allele IA that determines his phenotype, and one i allele.

⇒ Michelle's brother and sisters are also type A. They might be either h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA or heter0zyg0us IAi.

⇒ Michelle's mother should have<u> at least </u>one recessive allele i. She could be either IAi or IBi, or ii. There are three possible option for her genotype.

Let us make the Punnet squares to understand it better. We know the genotype of the father, but there are three options for the mother.

<u>Option 1</u>

Cross)   father x mother

Parentals)  IAi     x     IAi

Gametes)  IA    i      IA     i

Punnett square)      IA       i

                       IA    IAIA    IAi

                        i     IAi       ii

F1) 25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA

     50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

     25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

75% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAIA and IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

<u>Option 2</u>

Cross)   father x mother

Parentals)  IAi     x     IBi

Gametes)  IA    i      IB     i

Punnett square)      IA       i

                       IB    IBIA    IBi

                        i     IAi       ii

F1)  25% of the progeny is expected to be IAIB

     25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

     25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IBi

     25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type AB ⇒ IAIB

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type B ⇒ IBi

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

<u>Option 3</u>

Cross)   father x mother

Parentals)  IAi     x     ii

Gametes)  IA    i      i     i

Punnett square)      IA       i

                        i     IAi        ii

                        i     IAi        ii

F1)  50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

     25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒  IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Despite the fact <u>we can not determine for sure the </u><u>mother's genotype</u><u>, </u>we know that <u>she carries at least one </u><u>recessive allele</u>, which is why Michelle's blood type is 0.
