Tortoise shell cats can be explained as the offspring from a incomplete dominance cross. Incomplete dominance gives rise to an intermediate phenotype.

The scientific phenomenon that explains the color pattern is X-linked incomplete dominance.

As stated earlier, the tortoise shell colour is as a result of incomplete dominance but as it exists only in females, the inheritance is X linked.
This means the tortoise shell colour is inherited in the heterozygous condition as females have two X (XX) and males (XY) can only be either of the parent's true breeding genotype.

love history [14]

Answer: The answer should be A: Precipitation.

Explanation: When we take a look at this question, it mentions that there is dew, fog, and clouds on the planet. Infiltration would have probably been evaporated from the ground and became a cloud. The dew and fog would be the condensation. The astronomers notice that there is never any rainfall, and precipitation in the water cycle is rainfall. So therefore, the missing part of the water cycle would be precipitation

After school, Kai feels hungry and tired. He finds some sugar cookies in the cabinet and finishes the whole package. Which state

DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high.

At the time of hunger, the blood glucose level decreases, and glucagon at that time, that is, the hormone discharged by the islets of Langerhans increases the level of sugars in the body. The stored glucose in the liver gets discharged due to the presence of glucagon, which eventually elevates the level of glucose in the blood.

In the given case, when Kai ate the cookies, the level of glucose in the blood got increased and even elevated from the normal level in the blood. At that time, the insulin hormone is discharged from the islets of Langerhans, which helps the cells of the body to absorb the molecules of glucose and thus lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood. Therefore, both the hormones help in monitoring the levels of glucose in the body.

mrs_skeptik [129]

It depends on how many points out of how many points you had to get the 87.29%

But I think your grade is a B....

89.95% and up = A
79.95% to 89.94% = B
69.95% to 79.94% = C

so yeah
