One hypothesis that explains the result is : A) Two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown,and aabb is green.
Explanation:
- This is a case of Dominant Epistasis.
- When two genes are involved and presence of dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of either allele of the second gene then the epistasis is termed as dominant epistasis.
- In the given case black :brown: green ratio is approximately equal to 12:3:1.
- Here presence of a dominant A allele that is responsible for the black colour masks the effect of either allele of B. Therefore A_B_ and A_bb produces black beetles
- Again , absence of dominant A allows B to express itself and Brown beetles are produced thus aaB_ is brown.
- When both the genes are present as recessive alleles, neither brown nor black colour is expressed and the beetles are green.Thus, aabb are green.
Acids and bases are important in living things because most enzymes can do their job only at a certain level of acidity. Cells secrete acids and bases to maintain the proper pH for enzymes to work. For example, every time you digest food, acids and bases are at work in your digestive system.
Answer:
It would depend, if someone owns an octopues that trusts them then I would say that they would love being pet.Out in the wild, try petting an octopus but it will most likely runaway.
Normally the amount of plasma in whole blood is GREATER than the amount of formed elements: plasma makes up approximately -55- percent of whole blood.

Answer:
Animals and humans depend on plants for many things, and without plants, there could be no life on Earth.
Explanation:
1. Plants are the primary producers. They are the only organisms that can make their own food. Animals, who are incapable of making their own food, depend on plants for their supply of food.
2.The oxygen that animals breathe comes from plants. Through photosynthesis, plants take energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water and minerals from the soil. They then give off water and oxygen. Animals then use oxygen process called respiration. Respiration is the process used by organisms to release energy from food, and carbon dioxide is given off.
3.Plants also provide habitat for many species of animals. The plants provide food, shelter from weather (rain, sun), nesting place, sleeping ground and hideout from predators.
For example: Different animals live in different parts of the rainforest. Scientists divide the rainforest into zones based on the living environment.
