Answer:

Mountains are prominent landforms that have significant heights above sea level and/or the surrounding land. They are steeper than hills. A mountain or mountain range usually has a peak, which is a pointed top. Mountains have different climates than land at sea level and nearby flat land. Climate is the weather over an extended time period for a specific area. The climate of mountains tends to include colder weather, wetter weather, and thinner air. Thin air refers to the fact that at the higher altitudes of a mountain there is less oxygen to breathe. Also, mountains generally have less hospitable conditions for plants and animals. This leads to quite different evolutionary adaptations for those plants and animals that make higher elevations their home.

Long legs (L) in racing horses is dominant to short legs (l). Good muscle tone (G) is dominant to weak muscle tone (g). Determin

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Long leg (L) is dominant over short leg (l) and Good muscles (G) is dominant over weak muscles (g).

Heterozygous long leg, weak muscle = Llgg

Heterozygous long leg, strong muscle = LlGg

Llgg x LlGg

Offspring:

2 LLGg - Long leg, strong muscle

4 LlGg - Long leg, strong muscle

2 LLgg - Long leg, weak muscle

4 Llgg - long leg, weak muscle

2 llGg - short leg, strong muscle

2 llgg - short leg, weak muscle

Ratio of offspring with long leg and strong muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with long leg and weak muscle = 6/16 or 3/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and strong muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

Ratio of offspring with short leg and weak muscle = 2/16 or 1/8

How does an enzyme influence a chemical reaction In a cell ?

Basile [38]

Enzymes are biological catalysts. Catalysts lower the activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction, the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy.

Based on the information in the graph, which blood type is most likely to be in shortest supply during an emergency?

Maksim231197 [3]

While there is no graph provided and I cannot find the graph online, I will base my answer through theory.

In theory, the most common blood type is O+, followed by A+, then B+, then AB+. Rh negative blood is deemed to be rare. While the most common blood type is O+, the same blood type is also called the "universal donor" as a type O+ blood has no antigens attached in red blood cells therefore the probability of adverse reactions (i.e. hemolytic reactions) when transfused to other blood types are close to nil. In an emergency situation, wherein there is not enough time to do proper crossmatching, blood type O+ can be used therefore supplies of blood type O+ are easily depleted.

Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response it does not occur at any specific temperature it is not a resp

saul85 [17]

The action of phagocytes doesn't happen at any certain temperature. No specific sort of lymphocyte is produced as a result of it. It doesn't react to any particular hormone.

The process of phagocytosis begins with attachment and ingestion of microbial particles into a bubblelike organelle called a phagosome. Once inside the phagocyte, the phagosome containing the microorganism joins with a lysosome, which contributes enzymes. The fusion of phagosome and lysosome results in a phagolysosome. Microorganisms are destroyed within minutes, and the microbial debris is eliminated from the cell in the process of egestion.
