NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

The original organism is called the <u><em>parent (ancestor)</em></u> , and new organisms are called the <u><em>offspring</em></u>.

Explanation:

Reproduction is one of the characteristics of life. Every living organism tends to give rise to another organism. The organism which gives rise to another organism is termed as the parent. The organism which is born is known as the offspring.

There are two basic methods of reproduction. An organism can give rise to another organism by the method of asexual or sexual reproduction.

During asexual reproduction, identical copies of the parent organism are made. During sexual reproduction, two organisms reproduce to produce non-identical offsprings.

Marianna [84]
Well the food that heterotrophs eat are either the autotrophs who photosynthesize, or other heterotrophs. When they eat the autotrophs the energy stored in the plant matter gets transferred to them. If another animal was to eat the initial consumer of the autotrophs then they would be getting the energy stored in that animal that was obtained by eating the autotrophs who had the initial energy.<span>

Morgan breeds and sells snakes. He knows that he can make the most money by breeding and selling albino (totally white) snakes.
viva [34]

Answer:

Option C: 50%ZA and 50% Za.

Explanation:

The genotypes of snakes are governed by Genotypic System Determination that is similar to birds, with Z and W sex chromosomes. In this case, males are the homogametic sex (ZZ) and females are the heterogametic sex (ZW).

Since albinism is a recessive condition, it is expressed by having two copies of the recessive allele on the Z chromosomes for males and just one copy to be expressed in females. Since the female is albino, thus her genotype will be (ZaW) with a representing the albino trait.

For the two organisms to be able to produce both the normal colouration and the albino condition, the father has to be heterozygote for the trait (ZAZa): having 50%ZA and 50% Za.

What is most likely to happen if an individual restricts consumption of dietary fat to very low levels
nadezda [96]

Nowadays, many people across the world are reducing the consumption of dietary fats to avoid the onset of chronic heart and kidney diseases. However, a low-fat diet is not always a great diet for health.

The fact is that all fats do not affect the body in same way. The refined and processed fats found in restaurant and packaged foods cannot be good to health. But natural fats have very healthy effects on us.

Fats perform many important functions in our body. They play important role in regulation of body temperature, weight management, nutrient absorption, boosting immune function,insulation of body organs and maintenance of healthy hair and nails.

A diet poor in fats can cause serious issues for the health of an individual, such as:

  • Poor Brain Function
  • Compromised Heart Health
  • Hormone Imbalances (Including Sex Hormones Testosterone and Estrogen)
  • Weight Gain and Overeating
  • Higher Risk of Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
  • Higher Risk for Depression and Anxiety
  • Gut-Related Problems

Therefore, a moderate intake of fats (>15 % of energy) is important to maintain a good health of the individual.
