Answer and Explanation:

According to this theory, the young of a species may inherit certain physical characteristics which their parents acquired in the course of their daily lives. According to Lamarck, modern giraffes evolved from short-necked ancestors. The long necks develop as a result of stretching to reach the leaves of tall trees. The offspring of these giraffes inherited the long necks.

Lamarck's assumption of acquisition of characteristics by individuals in the course of their lifetimes is true. However, the passing of these traits to their offspring is not true. Acquired characteristics do not cause any alteration whatsoever in the hereditary information contained in the chromosomes. This theory is therefore not valid.

Answer:

For ed2020

Lamarck thought that organisms came into being through spontaneous generation.  He thought they changed from simple organisms to more complex organisms because they had an innate drive to become more complex and "perfect."  Lamarck thought that when organisms changed their behaviors in response to a changing environment, their bodies changed. When they used a part of their bodies more, it changed accordingly. When they used a part of their bodies less, it shrank.

1.) describe the amphibian life cycle. Include the different phases and traits of each phase.
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

1.) The Amphibian life cycle isn't as simple as it seems. The main Amphibian that has a longer process are called Frogs. Everyone knows frogs, but they are different from most animals such as turtles. The first stage of frogs are when their in eggs of course. These eggs are called "Tadpoles" and look different than most eggs. These eggs are kept in water until they grow. Which brings me to the next stage. When the tadpoles hatch you would start to see something like a baby fish swimming around. That's still the same tadpoles you saw before just hatched. When it comes to this topic most are confused because frogs don't have tails. Well during these stages a tail is used to help them survive in the water and move around. The third stage of these interesting creatures are when they grow legs. That's when they are able to walk on land. They still have their tail of course. It still helps them swim in water. I don't understand much about why they still have a tail if they've grown legs,  but that's for me to find out soon. Eventually they grow more and more and get better with their legs and lose the tail. Well the tail doesn't just magically disappear. It's actually absorbed  by using something called apoptosis. Then it's pretty much and adult frog.

2.) Most baby reptiles are grown in eggs. Another name for them would be "Amphibians". These little creatures are mostly kept in water or hidden underground for various reasons. Unlike turtles and lizards. Frog eggs are called "Tadpoles". They look like mini clear eyes. They also have a longer process than most animals which was explained in the first question!.

An individual with genotype AaBbccDd is crossed to an individual with genotype aaBbCcDd. What is the probability that their firs
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a) 1/64

Explanation:

<h3>The cross is: AaBbccDd x  aaBbCcDd</h3>

If all genes are independent, we can analyze the cross of each gene to calculate the genotypic proportions in the offspring. Afterwords, we can use the Multiplication Rule of Probability to calculate the overall probability of having progeny of aabbCcDD genotype.

<h3><u>Aa x aa </u></h3>

1/2 Aa

1/2 aa

<h3><u>Bb x Bb </u></h3>

1/4 BB

2/4 Bb

1/4 bb

<h3><u>cc x Cc </u></h3>

1/2 Cc

1/2 cc

<h3><u>Dd x Dd</u></h3>

1/4 DD

2/4 Dd

1/4 dd

The rule of multiplication states that for independent events, the probability of all of them occurring at the same time can be calculated by multiplying the probability of each of them.

Then, the probability of having offspring with the aabbCcDD genotype will be: 1/2 × 1/4  × 1/2  × 1/4 = 1/64
