Hello, sorry this is a little late.
I believe the correct answer to your question, "an animals long period of inactivity during winter is called what" would be Hibernation.
Hibernation is when some animals (examples would be bears, and wild rabbits) sleep throughout the entire season of winter, when the temperature is too cold for them. They spend time before hibernation usually stocking up food, and creating a warm place for them to stay.
Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)
Answer:
Option 1, 0

Flower color in the varieties of pea plants studied by Mendel is controlled by alleles at a single locus. A group of peas homozygous for purple flowers is grown in a garden. All flowers are purple, yet there is some variation in the intensity of the purple color. The estimated heritability for this observed variation in flower color would be
- 0.
- 0.5.
- 0.75.
- 1.
- Cannot be determined without additional information
Solution
Given all the pea plants in the garden are homozygous purple (PP)
If we cross two PP parents, the following offspring will be produces
PP * PP
PP, PP, PP, PP
This means that all offspring are also homozygous purple.
Thus, chances of inheriting variation in the purple color of offspring are negligible. However, the variation in their color can be due to their individual interaction with the variable factors in the environment
Hence, option 1, 0 is correct
The process of passing genetic material from one generation to the next depends completely on how cells grow and divide. To reproduce, a simple organism such as bacteria or yeast simply copies its DNA (through a process called replication) and splits in two. But organisms that reproduce sexually go through a complicated dance that includes mixing and matching strands of DNA (a process called recombination) and then reducing the amount of DNA in special sex cells to arrive at completely new genetic combinations for their offspring.
There are two basic kinds of organisms — ones with a nucleus and those without a nucleus (a compartment filled with DNA surrounded by a membrane called a nuclear envelope):
<span>Prokaryotes: Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and therefore have DNA floating loosely in the liquid center of the cell. Prokaryotes divide, and thus reproduce, by simple mitosis.</span><span>Eukaryotes: Organisms that have a well-defined nucleus to house and protect the DNA. Eukaryotes divide by meiosis for sexual reproduction.</span>
The sets of alleles for each parent are Dm for the mother and DM, Dm, dM, and dm for the father. This information is fundamental for estimating genotype and allele frequencies in offspring.
<h3>What are alleles?</h3>
Alleles are gene variants for a given gene <em>locus</em>, diploid organisms inherit two alleles for each locus (one from each parent).
Gametes are germinal (haploid) cells that carry specific allele combinations.
The analysis of gamete combinations is fundamental to estimate genotypes and allele frequencies.
