Answer:
Dr. Stott's belief about that the 9-year-olds will advance in knowledge based on instructions is based on the theory of cognitive development, proposed by Lev Vygotsky.
Explanation:
Theory of cognitive development -also called the socio-cultural theory of cognition- was put forward by the Russian-Jewish psychologist Lev Vygotsky, in which he expresses the influence of the socio-cultural environment on the learning process.
<u>For Vygotsky, children possess innate basic skills, such as attention, sensation, memory and perception, which develop over time</u>.
The process of cognitive development implies that the development of each child's basic skills requires the guidance of an adult, since -although there are skills that he does not understand or has not developed- he can learn them with the appropriate guidance and instructions.
A group of rhinoceros is called a "crash".
The answer is Lionfish
are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm
water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment
in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally
found in the indo-pacific, which is their
native environment. However, their presence
in the eastern United States has have threatened
the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef
ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore,
their population explodes unchecked.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.
B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.
C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.
D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.
The answer is D
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.
According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.
Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.
Hence, a long-hair
phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses because viruses do not have cells. Viruses are infectious agents that live within the cells of other living things. Antibiotics work by breaking down the cell walls of bacteria or interfering with the bacteria's ability to repair its cell's DNA, according to How Stuff Works.
